Which phones support vCard QR codes?

Most modern smartphones (iOS and Android) recognize vCard data in QR codes and offer to save the contact. Always test before printing large batches.

Can I include a photo in the vCard?

maintool currently supports text fields such as name, phone, email, organization, and website. Embedded photos are not included in the current generator.

Is my contact info stored on your server?

No. vCard data is processed locally in your browser and is not sent to maintool servers for QR generation.

PNG, SVG, or PDF — which should I print?

SVG or PDF is usually best for print. PNG works well for screens and simple digital sharing.

What is a vCard QR code?

A vCard QR code encodes contact information using the vCard standard. When someone scans it, their phone typically offers to save your name, phone, email, organization, and website as a new contact — faster and more accurate than typing from a paper card.

These codes are popular at conferences, networking events, real estate open houses, trade shows, and on printed business cards. They reduce typos and make follow-up easier after a brief conversation.

maintool builds the vCard payload and QR image in your browser. Contact fields are not uploaded to our servers for generation.

Tips for a professional vCard QR

Include at least your name and one reliable contact method.
Add organization and website for business contexts.
Download SVG for print so edges stay sharp at any size.
Test on both iPhone and Android before mass printing.
Leave quiet space (margin) around the code and avoid low-contrast colors.

Guide

Updating contact details

Static vCard QR codes embed the details you enter at generation time. If you change your phone number or email later, create a new code and replace old print materials. For frequently changing details, some people encode a URL to a personal profile page they control instead of a full vCard.
