Frequently Asked Questions About vCard QR Codes

What contact details can a vCard QR code include?

A vCard QR code can include a name, job title, company, phone numbers, email addresses, postal address, website, and social profile links. You decide which fields to add.

Can people save a vCard QR code on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Most modern iPhone and Android camera apps recognize vCard QR codes. After scanning, the phone opens a contact preview so the person can review the details and save them to their Contacts app.

Does a contact info QR code expire?

No. The free vCard QR code is static, so it does not expire and does not depend on a hosted page remaining online.

Can I edit the contact details after creating the QR code?

You cannot edit the data inside a static QR code. If your details change, generate and share a new code. For an updateable destination and scan tracking, use an editable QR code.

Is it private to create a vCard QR code with Yohn.io?

The initial QR code preview and SVG or PNG downloads are generated in your browser. Your email and generated data are sent to the delivery service only if you choose to save a backup copy to your inbox.
