Questions about contact card (vcard) codes

Why vCard 3.0 and not 4.0?

The iPhone camera mis-parses vCard 4.0 and can swap first and last names. Version 3.0 is read correctly by every current phone.

The code looks very dense. Is that normal?

A full contact is a lot of data. Fill in only what people need, print it at 3 cm or larger, or switch to MeCard for a smaller code.

Can I add a photo?

Not in the code itself; a photo would make it unscannable. Add your logo as an overlay on the code instead.
