Style and colours
Logo or icon in the centre
A centre image hides part of the code, so error correction is set to High automatically. Keep logos simple and test the result with your phone. Your logo is used in your browser only and is never uploaded. Social media logos are trademarks of their owners: use them to point to your own profiles and follow each brand's guidelines.
Sticker or frame
Size and error correction
Quiet zone is the blank border around the code, measured in squares. Keep it at 4 or more. Higher error correction survives more damage but makes a denser code.

What a vCard QR code does
A vCard is the standard file format for digital business cards. When a phone scans the code, it spots the contact and offers to add it to the address book. People put them on business cards, name badges, event stands and email signatures.
Keep it scannable
Every field you add makes the code busier. A name, a phone number and an email give you a clean code that scans easily. Add a long address, a job title and a website and it gets dense, so you'll need to print it bigger. If it looks crowded, choose a lower error-correction level or increase the size.
Remember that whoever scans the code gets everything in it, and you can't edit it once it's printed. If your details change, make a new one. If you only want to share a page, a URL QR code is simpler. You'll find more options on the QR code generator page.
