  3. Add a job title, company, or message if needed.
  4. Select Share details to submit.

Share without internet

An offline vCard QR code shares basic contact details directly, without loading a website. It does not include the online contact form, images, analytics, or automatic updates to saved copies. Follow Share your digital business card without internet to turn it on, preview the details, and switch back afterward.

Save your QR code

On iPhone, select Download QR code in Share. Allow Tapify to add the image to Photos when asked. Android does not currently include a QR download button. You can use the Tapify Home Screen widget or QR notification for quick access instead.

​
If your QR code does not scan

Confirm that the entire code is visible, clean the other phone’s camera lens, and try a different distance. If you selected offline sharing, use Preview to confirm that the QR contains your details.
