Tips for a contact QR code that scans first time
- Fewer fields, easier scanning. Every field adds data, and more data means smaller squares. A name, phone, email and website is plenty for a business card.
- Print it at least 2 cm wide. Contact codes are denser than link codes. On a business card, give the code at least 2 x 2 cm and keep a clear margin around it.
- Go easy on the logo. A logo hides part of an already dense code. If you add one, keep it small and set error correction to Quartile or High.
- Test it on two phones. Scan the printed card with an iPhone and an Android phone and check every field lands in the right place.
Where to use a contact QR code
- Business cards. Nobody has to type your number in. They scan, tap Add contact and you are saved.
- Conference badges and stands. Visitors can grab your details without queuing for a card.
- CVs and portfolios. Make it effortless for a recruiter to save your details.

Frequently asked questions
What is a vCard QR code?
vCard is the standard format phones use for contact cards. A vCard QR code stores your details in that format, so scanning it offers to add you straight to the phone’s contacts.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The iPhone camera shows a prompt to add the contact, and Android phones show the same through the camera or Google Lens.
Can I update my details after printing?
No. Your details are stored in the code itself, which is why it never expires and never tracks anyone. If your details change, make a new code. If you want details you can edit, link a URL code to a page you control instead.
Are my contact details uploaded anywhere?
No. The code is created in your browser and nothing you type is sent to our servers.
Does the QR code expire?
No. Everything is stored in the code itself rather than behind a redirect link, so there is no subscription to lapse and nothing to switch off. It works for as long as the details in it are correct.
