Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes your contact information in the standard vCard 3.0 format (BEGIN:VCARD ... END:VCARD). When scanned, the phone prompts to save the contact with all details pre-filled — name, phone, email, company, title, website, and address. It works on all iOS and Android devices without any app.
How to use a vCard QR code on a business card?
Print your vCard QR code on the back of your business card at minimum 2×2cm. Add a brief label like "Scan to save my contact" next to it. Use the Print Template feature on CalcNation to get a print-ready layout. When someone scans it with their phone camera, they can save all your details with one tap — much easier than typing.
Does vCard QR work without an internet connection?
Yes — vCard QR codes are self-contained. All your contact information is encoded directly in the QR pattern itself. No internet connection is needed to decode or save the contact — it works offline on any smartphone.
How many characters can a vCard QR code hold?
A QR code can hold up to 7,089 characters (L error correction) or 2,953 characters (H error correction). A typical vCard with name, phone, email, company, website, and address is 200-400 characters — well within limits. The capacity meter in the tool shows exactly how full your QR is. Avoid very long addresses to keep the QR clean and scannable.
Can I add a photo to the vCard QR code?
vCard 3.0 supports a PHOTO field, but embedding a photo in a QR code makes it extremely large and difficult to scan. We recommend keeping the vCard QR for text contact details and hosting your photo separately. If you need a photo in the QR area, use the Logo embed feature to add your photo or company logo as a visual element in the QR center.
What is the difference between URL QR and vCard QR for contacts?
A URL QR links to a webpage (like your LinkedIn or personal website) requiring internet access. A vCard QR encodes contact data directly in the QR — saving works offline and stores full details locally on the phone. For networking events or conferences, vCard QR is preferred. For marketing where you want to track scans, a URL QR pointing to your website is better.
