How vCard 3.0 Electronic Business Card Standard (RFC 2426) Works: Standards & Compatibility
A vCard QR code embeds an electronic business card schema directly into the QR payload using the BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD envelope. Both Apple iOS Contacts and Google Contacts parse this format automatically, displaying a pre-filled contact profile with 'Add to Contacts' button.

Printing & Quality Guidelines
Follow these ISO/IEC 18004 recommendations to ensure instant, frictionless scans:
Maintain strong contrast: ensure dark foreground elements on a clean light background.
Observe the Quiet Zone: leave at least 4 modules of blank white margin around the QR code.
Test before bulk printing: scan the physical printed sample on both iOS Camera and Android Google Lens.
Use vector SVG for print production: SVG scales infinitely without pixelation on large signage or menus.
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee
QR Studio never stores, tracks, or analyzes your input payload. All matrix math, Reed-Solomon error correction encoding, and image rendering occur directly in your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my vCard QR code look denser than a simple URL code?›
vCard codes store complete contact details (names, multiple phone numbers, street addresses, company titles) directly within the barcode matrix. More text requires a larger grid version. For best scanning results, keep text concise and print at least 2.5 x 2.5 cm.
Will this work on both iPhone and Android without an app?›
Yes! Both modern iOS and Android camera apps natively parse vCard 3.0 payloads and present a native "Add Contact" system prompt.
Does this vCard require an active internet connection to save?›
No internet connection is needed to save the contact! Because the vCard payload is stored entirely within the QR code itself, it can be decoded and saved completely offline.
Is my personal contact information saved on any server?›
Never. QR Studio encodes your contact details directly in your browser using pure client-side algorithms. We do not store, view, or sell any contact data.
