Why is vector SVG better for printing QR codes?

Vector SVG uses geometric paths rather than fixed pixel grids. When scaled to large posters, vinyl banners, or tiny business cards, vector QR codes maintain razor-sharp mathematical edges with zero blur or compression artifacts, ensuring maximum camera scannability.

How does Error Correction Level (ECL) protect QR scanability with logos?

QR codes use Reed-Solomon error correction. Level H allows up to 30% of the QR matrix area to be damaged, obscured, or covered by a central brand logo while retaining 100% data recoverability by any smartphone camera.

What is the required Quiet Zone around a QR code?

ISO/IEC 18004 standards mandate a minimum Quiet Zone margin of 4 modules of clean background space around the QR code matrix to allow scanner image sensors to isolate finder patterns from surrounding artwork.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when someone scans a vCard QR code?

When scanned using an iPhone or Android camera, a notification appears with the contact’s name. Tapping it opens the native Contacts app with all fields (name, phone, company, title, email, website) pre-populated and ready to "Save Contact".

What is the recommended size for printing vCard QR codes on business cards?

Because vCard data payloads are larger than short URLs, we recommend printing at a minimum physical size of 1.0 × 1.0 inch (25 × 25 mm). Using our Level H or Q error correction ensures high scannability even on matte card stock.

Are my personal contact details stored on any server?

Never. The vCard text payload is encoded entirely on your local device within client-side JavaScript. No contact information, phone numbers, or emails are ever sent to our servers or logged in any database.

Can I add a custom logo inside my vCard QR code?

Yes! You can upload your company logo or profile photo. Our generator automatically enhances error correction level (Level H) so the embedded logo does not impede camera recognition.
