A vCard (Virtual Contact File, .vcf) is a standardised format for electronic business cards. When someone scans a vCard QR code, your contact details are saved directly to their phone's address book.

What information can I include in a vCard QR code?

You can include your full name, phone number, email address, company name, job title, website, and physical address. WhippetQR supports all standard vCard fields.

Are vCard QR codes compatible with all phones?

Most modern smartphones running iOS or Android support vCard QR codes natively. When scanned, the contact details appear on screen and can be saved directly to the address book.

Can I update my vCard QR code later?

Static vCard QR codes cannot be updated — the data is fixed in the code. If your details change, generate a new QR code. For editable links, use a URL QR code pointing to an online profile.

What Is a vCard QR Code?

A vCard QR code encodes your contact information in the vCard format (.vcf), the universal standard for electronic business cards. When someone scans it, their phone automatically opens the contact with your name, phone number, email, company, and more pre-filled. They just tap "Save" and your details are stored permanently in their address book.

What Information Can You Include?

Full name — First name, last name, and title
Phone numbers — Mobile, work, and fax
Email addresses — Work and personal
Company details — Organisation name, job title, department
Address — Street, city, postal code, country
Website and social media — URLs and LinkedIn profiles

Why Use vCard QR Codes?

Networking Events

Replace paper business cards. One scan saves your full contact — no typing, no lost cards.

Email Signatures

Add a vCard QR to your email signature so recipients can save you with one tap.

vCard Versions Explained

vCard 3.0 is the most widely supported format and works on virtually all smartphones (iPhone, Android, Windows). vCard 4.0 adds social media profiles and additional fields but may not be supported on older devices. We recommend vCard 3.0 for maximum compatibility.
