2. Fill in the details of the vCard, such as the name, phone number, email address, and company information.
3. Click "Generate QR Code" to create the QR Code image.
If you want to generate a QR Code containing vCard details in Python, Here's are example codes.
import qrcode
# Define the vCard details
vcard = 'BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:3.0\nN:Doe;John;;Mr.;\nFN:John Doe\nORG:ABC Corporation\nTITLE:Manager\nTEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:(123) 456-7890\nADR;TYPE=WORK:;;123 Main St;Anytown;CA;12345;USA\nEMAIL:john.doe@example.com\nURL:www.example.com\nEND:VCARD'
# Generate the QR Code image
qr = qrcode.QRCode(version=1, box_size=10, border=4)
qr.add_data(vcard)
qr.make(fit=True)
img = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")
# Save the QR Code image to a file
img.save("vcard_qr_code.png")

A vCard can contain a photo in JPEG or PNG format, which can be imported from a QR Code in the following steps.
1. Scan the QR Code using a vCard reader app on your mobile device.
2. Save the vCard file to your device.
3. Open the vCard file with a vCard editor or contact manager software.
4. Locate the photo field in the vCard details and click on it to import the photo from the QR Code image.
The process for importing the photo may vary depending on the software you are using to manage your contacts. Some software may also require the photo to be saved separately as a file on your device before it can be imported.
