Difference static and dynamic qr codes for vCards
With our vCard QR Code Generator you can create both static and dynamic vCard QR Codes (in EPS, PDF, SVG, PNG formats). A static vCard QR Code is free of charge, has no expiration date and cannot be changed afterwards. That is, if your business data changes, you will have to create a new static vCard QR Code. Also, the static QR Code cannot always be read by QR Code scanners because of the many characters.
With a dynamic vCard QR Code you can also change your data afterwards. With our free QR Code Business Card you have many more advantages, such as your own landing page, which you can design completely freely.
How does the QR Code Business Card work?
With the QR Code Business Card, you can add all the information of a static vCard and much more, such as your profile picture, company logo or social media links. In addition, the QR code of a QR Code Business Card can be read by any smartphone. Furthermore you can create a website customized to your CI, which professionally displays your contact details and simplifies the sharing of your data.
Static vCard QR Code
A simple way to create a QR Code with your contact details is an offline QR Code with a vCard encoded. A vCard is a file format for business cards to exchange contact data. You can create a free QR code for a static vCard.
vCards can be easily imported in e-mail clients like Outlook or to an address book on a mobile phone. By scanning the following QR Code, your mobile phone will automatically suggest to add our company’s contact details to your address book.
Most of the smartphones with a QR Code Reader installed, can handle this QR Code (including iPhones). This QR Code also works, if you are not connected to the Internet, since all information is encoded in the QR Code itself.
However since all Information is encoded in the QR Code itself, the QR Code can get really big. The more information you are adding, the bigger the code gets. It will be hard to print the code on a business card while sustaining the readability of the QR Code. Adding an image is almost impossible, since there would be too much data in the QR Code. But the biggest disadvantage is:
Once the QR Code is printed the information in the QR Code cannot be changed anymore.
This is when a QR Code that leads to an editable QR Code Business Card comes in handy.

They can also add your contact to their address book by clicking the “Save Business Card” button at the bottom or call and mail you directly through the integrated Call-to-Action Buttons. Moreover, you can include your profile picture, logos and your social profiles. Sounds good? The only disadvantage is that the person who scans the QR Code needs Internet access.
Multiple addresses in one business card
Premium users can add multiple e-mails, addresses and phone numbers to a single QR Code Business Card.
Business Card on Home Screen
You can also add your mobile business card on your home screen and open it by just tapping on the icon once.
On an iPhone all you must do is tap on upload and select Add to Home Screen.

Dynamic vCard QR Codes
When creating a QR Code Business Card you can activate the option "Add to Contacts" directly in the branding section.
So instead of displaying the Mobile Website with the contact information, the contact is added to the user’s address book on his mobile phone, after scanning the QR Code and clicking on “Open in contacts”.
Moreover anytime you alter your contact data, the vCard will be updated as well.
