Calendar QR code
What it is, how it works, and when to use it
A vCard QR Code saves your full contact information directly into the user’s phone. When someone scans it, their device opens a new contact with all the fields already filled in — name, phone, email, company, website, address, job title, and more.
This makes it the perfect upgrade from traditional business cards. No typing, no spelling errors, and no risk of losing the card. Ideal for networking events, digital business cards, resumes, client meetings, exhibitions, real estate agents, or anyone who wants to be saved to someone’s phone instantly.
