We have investigated the transverse charge density for longitudinal and transversely polarized $\rho$ meson in light-front quark model (LFQM). Charge densities are obtained from the elastic form factors of the $\rho$ meson calculated in LFQM including the zero-mode contributions. We have computed the different helicity matrix elements of the $\rho$ meson. In addition to this, we have also presented the results for the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and impact-parameter dependent parton distribution functions (ipdpdfs) of the $\rho$ meson.
