What is a vCard QR Code?
QR Forge encodes the entered contact fields as vCard 3.0 text (BEGIN:VCARD … END:VCARD). This form supports first and last name, organization, one phone number, email, URL, and address; it does not add job titles, photos, or multiple phone numbers. Compatible scanning apps may offer a contact-save action, which the user must confirm.

Frequently asked questions
A phone QR encodes a call action for one number. A vCard QR encodes supported contact details as vCard 3.0 text; compatible scanners may offer to add those details to contacts.
Enter at least one supported contact detail. Name, organization, one phone number, email, website, and address can be included; the rest are optional.
Many current scanning apps can recognize vCard data, but the available preview or save action varies by device, operating-system version, and scanner app. Test the code on the devices you expect people to use.
No — static vCard QRs embed the data directly. If your details change, you'll need to generate a new QR code. For updateable contacts, use a URL QR pointing to a digital business card page.
QR capacity depends on the amount and character set of the encoded data and the selected error-correction level. Keep contact details concise and test the finished code, especially when adding a logo.
This form does not embed a photo in the vCard data. You can add a visual logo to the QR design using the generator's logo controls; test the result after adding it.
