Today, there are many services from where you can easily purchase Vcard QR code but many of these services will want to charge you a monthly fee for hosting your data online and providing other features. Such as linqapp.com, Popl.co and mobocard.com etc.
But instead of doing that, you can create your own QR code. Once you’ve created it you can share it in several ways:
- By printing it on paper.
- Print it as a sticker and stick it on the back of your phone.
- Save it to your phone so it can be scanned from your screen.
How to create a Vcard QR code?
Creating a vCard QR code is an easy process that when scanned will instantly import your contact information to the recipient’s device. vCard (short for Virtual Contact File) is a standard format for electronic business cards.
To create a vCard QR code, follow the steps given below:
- Create a vCard:
- Use any text editor to create a vCard. Such as Notepad or a dedicated vCard generator.
- A basic vCard usually includes your name, phone number, email address, and any other relevant details.
- Customize the information as needed.
- Now save the vCard with a “.vcf” file extension, such as “contact.vcf” or “yourname.vcf“.
- After that, generate the QR code.
- You can use various online QR code generators to convert your VCard into a QR code.
Here’s the process using a generator: - Go to an online QR code generator website like qr-code-generator.com or qrstuff.com.
- Then, select the “vCard” or “Contacts” option depending on the website.
- Now upload the vCard file you created or input the contact information manually.
- Customize the design, size, and error correction level of the QR code if necessary.
- After that click on “Generate” or “Create QR Code” button.
- You can use various online QR code generators to convert your VCard into a QR code.
- Once the QR code is generated, you can download it to your computer as an image (e.g., PNG or JPEG).
- Test the QR code before sharing it.
- Make sure to scan with the QR code scanner app on your mobile device.
- You can share the QR code on a business card, website, social media profile, email signature, or any other digital or physical medium where people can easily scan it.
Note: When someone scans the QR code with their smartphone or other QR code scanner, it will automatically import your contact information into their device’s address book, making it convenient for them to save your details.
