General

CardQR is a platform for creating digital business cards with personalized QR codes. It works in a very simple way: 1) Sign up for free, 2) Complete your professional information, 3) Customize the design of your card, 4) Generate your unique QR code. When someone scans your QR, they instantly access all of your contact information and can save it to their phone with just one click.

Yes, CardQR has a FREE plan forever with no hidden costs. It includes: unlimited cards, custom QR codes, 6 free templates, vCard export, social sharing and no ads. Premium features such as premium templates, custom subdomain, and advanced analytics are available in the Pro plan.

With CardQR you can create UNLIMITED digital cards. Unlike the competition that limits you to 1-3 cards, we impose no restrictions. You can have one card for each professional role, project, event or language you need. For example: one for your main job, another for freelance projects, another for events, etc. All free.

You don’t need to download anything. CardQR works entirely from your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) on any device. Simply log in with your email and password from anywhere. People who scan your QR code also don’t need a special app—just the camera on their phone. Everything runs directly from the browser.

Absolutely. CardQR complies with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Your data is encrypted, we never sell it to third parties, and you have full control over what information you share and with whom.

Yes, with our premium plan you can use your own domain (e.g., tuempresa.com instead of card-qr.com/tuempresa). The free plan includes a customizable URL like card-qr.com/tunombre that is professional and easy to share. Having your own domain is one of the few premium features we offer.

Digital CardQR cards require an internet connection to display, as they are loaded from our servers to ensure that they always show the most up‑to‑date information. However, once someone views your card, they can save your contact in their phone (vCard export) and that information will be available offline in their address book. This is the best of both worlds: always updated online, savable for offline use.

Use and Share

You have multiple options: 1) QR code – Print it, display it on your phone, or add it to your email signature. 2) Direct URL – Share it via WhatsApp, email, social media. 3) Export vCard – Allows you to save directly into the phone’s address book. 4) Social networks – Share with one click on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc. 5) Custom short link – Easy to remember and share verbally.

Yes, definitely. You can download your QR code in high resolution (PNG, SVG or PDF) perfect for printing. You can add it to: physical business cards, brochures, posters, roll‑ups, email signatures, PowerPoint presentations, advertising material, etc. The QR is fully customizable (colors, logo in the center).

This is the BIG advantage of digital cards: when you update your information in CardQR (you change your phone, email, title, etc.), the change reflects instantly. The QR code and URL stay the same, but now display your new information. You don’t need to reprint anything or share your card again. Anyone who has your QR or URL will automatically see the updated information.

Absolutely, and this is highly recommended. You can create different cards for: 1) Main work vs freelance 2) Specific events or conferences 3) Different languages 4) Separate projects 5) Personal vs professional. Each card will have its own QR and URL, and you can enable/disable the ones you’re not using temporarily.
