Common questions
What's the difference between a vCard QR code and a URL QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes contact data directly (no internet required to read it). A URL QR code links to a webpage. Both can be used for contact sharing; vCard works offline.
Can I include my LinkedIn profile in a vCard QR code?
Yes — the vCard format supports URL fields. Add your LinkedIn URL as a website field and it will be included when the contact is saved.
