Make a contact card QR code.
Paper business cards often end up in a pocket and get lost before anyone types your number into their phone. A contact card QR code (also called a vCard code) solves that in two seconds. When a client scans the code, their phone opens the native Contacts screen with your name, business, phone number, email, website, and street address already filled in. All they do is tap Save. It works well on printed business cards, appointment reminder cards, real estate yard signs, and trade show badges.
How to make your QR code
- 1Enter your first name, last name, and business name in the contact card form below.
- 2Add your mobile or shop phone number with the country code so international visitors can call or text you.
- 3Fill in your email address, website, and physical shop address for clients who want directions.
- 4Pick a clean dot style and high-contrast colors that match your business card design.
- 5Scan the live preview with your phone to verify every field looks right in your Contacts app, then download the SVG or PNG file.
Tips before you print
- Include the plus sign and country code in your phone number (such as +1 or +971) so the number dials cleanly from any carrier.
- Only fill in fields you actually want clients to use. Fewer fields make the QR pattern less dense and easier to scan when printed small on a business card.
- Print the code at least 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) wide on paper business cards so phone cameras can focus on the dots quickly.
- Use the SVG download when sending your business card layout to a commercial printer so the edges stay crisp at any resolution.
- If your phone number, title, or office address might change, create an editable vCard code in DoorStepQR Pro so your printed cards never go out of date.

Frequently asked questions
Does a contact card QR code work without an internet connection?
Yes. A free static vCard QR code stores your contact details directly inside the black and white squares. A phone can scan it and save your number even in a basement venue with no cell service.
Can I update my phone number or address after printing my business cards?
With the free generator, the contact details are baked into the pattern and cannot be changed after printing. With a DoorStepQR Pro account, you can create a dynamic contact card code that lets you edit your details anytime.
Why did my code get very dense with tiny dots?
Every character you type adds more squares to a static vCard code. Shorten your address or job title, or remove the logo so the code uses a lighter error-correction grid.
Can I add a photo to a vCard QR code?
Photos are too large to fit inside the dots of a standard QR code. You can place your logo in the center of the QR code design, or use a DoorStepQRPro business page to show your photo and full profile.
