Which vCard fields does QRify include?

Name, organisation, phone, email and website by default, written as vCard 3.0. Each field you fill is encoded directly into the pattern, so leaving optional fields blank makes the code sparser and easier to scan small.

Why is my contact code so dense?

Because the whole record is inside it. Unlike a URL code, nothing is fetched later — the name, number, email and company are all encoded as text. Trim the fields you do not need before you enlarge the print.

Can I add a logo to a contact code?

You can, but a vCard payload is already dense, so a logo eats error-correction budget you may not have spare. If you want branding on a business card, consider styling the finder eyes instead — it costs nothing.

Can I update the details after printing?

No. They are encoded in the pattern, so changing them means regenerating and reprinting. That is also why the code never expires and costs nothing to keep working. If your details change often, encode a URL to a contact page you control.

vCard QR Code Generator

A contact card that saves itself. Everything is inside the code, so it works with no signal and no landing page.

This generator encodes a full contact record — name, phone, email, company, website — directly into the QR code using the vCard format. Scanning it prompts the phone to save the contact, with no app and no network needed. Because vCards are verbose, the code is dense and needs printing a little larger.

For best scan reliability, error correction is bumped to High when an image is set. Use a light image with a dark foreground (or vice-versa) for strong contrast.

Logo (Optional)

Built-in icons

Tinted with your foreground color. Pair with high error correction (Q or H).

§ 01What it encodes

What a vCard QR code actually contains

The encoded payload

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Urbonas;Kiril;;;
FN:Kiril Urbonas
ORG:QRify
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+1234567890
EMAIL:hello@example.com
URL:https://qrify.to
END:VCARD

Field	Meaning	Notes
N	Structured name	Surname;Given;Middle;Prefix;Suffix — the field contact apps actually sort on.
FN	Formatted name	The display name, shown as-is.
ORG	Organisation	Company or team name.
TEL	Phone	TYPE=CELL, WORK or HOME. Use full international format so it dials from anywhere.
EMAIL	Email address	One is plenty; each extra field makes the grid denser.
URL	Website	Keep it short — a long URL costs you module size.

Version 3.0 rather than 4.0: it is the most widely supported across phones and contact apps, and compatibility matters more than modernity for something printed on a card you cannot update.

§ 02How to make one

Step 01
Fill in the essentials
Name, one phone number, one email, company and website. Every extra field shrinks the modules.
Step 02
Check the phone format
Use full international format, so the number dials correctly from another country.
Step 03
Style it for the card
Keep error correction at medium — a wallet is not a high-damage environment, and raising it adds density.
Step 04
Export vector
SVG or PDF, so the printer can place it at 2.5–3 cm without any resolution to get wrong.

§ 03In practice

Where people use it

Business cards and name badges
Trade show booths and roll-up banners
Email signatures and slide decks
Shop windows and reception desks
Conference speaker slides

What breaks it

Embedding a photo: vCard supports an inline portrait and it adds thousands of characters, pushing the symbol past any size that fits on a business card. Put a URL in the vCard and let the contact app fetch the image.
Including every field: Fax numbers, second addresses and notes all cost module size. A contact code with six fields prints far smaller than one with sixteen.
Printing it at URL size: A minimal vCard is roughly 160 characters against a short URL’s 25, which means a much denser grid. 2 cm is fine for a URL and marginal for a contact card.
