How to Create vCard QR Codes in Sparkforge

A vCard QR code drops your full contact card onto a phone with a single scan — name, phone, email, address, website, and logo. Sparkforge's QR Code Builder makes them dynamic, so you can update the underlying contact info without reprinting anything.

When to use a vCard QR code

• Networking events and trade shows where business cards get lost.
• Email signatures and yard signs that need to convert to a saved contact in one tap.
• Lead capture moments where typing your details is the friction.

Build a vCard QR code

Step 1 — Open the QR Code Builder

1. Log in to your Sparkforge sub-account.
2. Click Sites in the left menu.
3. Open the QR Codes tab.

Step 2 — Pick the QR type

1. Click Create QR Code.
2. Enter a descriptive QR Code Name.
3. Under Select QR Code Type, choose vCard, then click Next.

Step 3 — Fill in the contact

• First name, last name
• Phone number (required) and mobile number
• Email and website
• Profile image or company logo
• Street address, city, state, country, postal code
• Company name and job title

Click Next when complete.

Step 4 — Style the code

Set background, dot, and marker colors with the picker or a hex code. Choose a dot shape and marker style that match your brand.

Step 5 — Add a logo

Upload a logo or pick a built-in option. Toggle Remove background behind logo on for a transparent halo, off to overlay the logo flat.

Step 6 — Background and download

Optionally upload a page background image and adjust transparency. Then download the QR as PNG, SVG, or PDF and click Save to store it in Sparkforge.

Why "dynamic" matters

The QR encodes a Sparkforge URL, not the raw vCard. Update your contact details inside Sparkforge and every existing print of the QR keeps working. Reuse the same code across multiple campaigns and seasons.
