## How to use it
1. Fill in the fields you want people to save. Leave the rest blank to keep the code small.
2. Download as SVG for your printer, or PNG for an email signature.
3. Scan your printed proof to check every field lands in the right place.

## Static vCard vs a hosted profile page
Many "digital business card" sites put a link in the code and host your details on their page, which stops working if you stop paying. A vCard QR code carries the contact itself, so it works offline and forever. The tradeoff: you can't change it after printing. If you change jobs, make a new code.

## Keep it scannable
- Every field adds data. Name, mobile, email and website are usually enough.
- Print business-card codes at least 0.8 inch (2 cm) wide; denser vCards need about 1 inch.
- Use square modules and black on white for the smallest prints.

## FAQ
### Do iPhones read vCard QR codes?
Yes. The iPhone camera shows a contact card you can save. Android camera apps and Google Lens do the same.

### Can I add a photo?
Not in the code. A photo is far too much data for a printable QR code.

### Why are some fields in the wrong place?
A few scanner apps don't follow the vCard standard fully. Try the phone's built-in camera, which handles it best.
