How to Create a Vcard

📚 In this article, you will learn what a Vcard is, what it’s used for, why you should create one, and how to create a Vcard within Tikly.

What is a Vcard?

A Vcard (also written as vCard) is a digital version of a business card. It’s a standardized file format that stores contact details, such as:

• Name and job title

• Phone numbers

• Email addresses

• Company name and website

• Physical address

• Social media profiles

• Profile photo or logo

When someone opens your Vcard, they can quickly save your details directly to their contacts without typing anything manually.

What is a Vcard used for?

Vcards are used to share contact information quickly and consistently across different devices and platforms. Common uses include:

• Networking: Share your details at events, conferences, or meetings.

• Business: Add your Vcard to email signatures, invoices, or proposals so clients can save your contact easily.

• Marketing: Link your Vcard from QR codes on flyers, posters, or business cards.

• Customer support: Let customers save your support or sales contact in one tap.

Because Vcards follow a standard format, they work on most smartphones, email clients, and contact apps.
