What is a vCard?

A vCard (Virtual Contact File) is a standardized digital file format for electronic business cards. It stores contact information such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, job titles, organizations, websites, and notes. vCards use the .vcf file extension and follow the vCard specification (currently version 4.0), making them compatible across different devices, email clients, and contact management systems. When someone scans a vCard QR code with their smartphone, they can instantly save all the contact information to their device without manual typing.
