No need to download anything. CardQR works fully from your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) on any device. You just access with your email and password from anywhere. The people scanning your QR don't need any special app either, just their phone's camera. Everything works directly from the browser.

Absolutely. CardQR complies with 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. You can make your cards private, protect them with a security code (premium plan), and delete your account at any time. Your privacy is our priority.

Advanced analytics are available in the Pro plan: real-time views, location, devices/browsers, traffic sources and CSV export. In the free plan you can use your card without limits and upgrade when you need advanced statistics.

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

CardQR digital cards require internet connection to display, as they are loaded from our servers to ensure 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.

You have multiple ways: 1) QR Code - Print it, display on your phone, or add to your email signature. 2) Direct URL - Share via WhatsApp, email, social media. 3) Export vCard - Allows direct saving to phone contacts. 4) Social media - Share with a click on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc. 5) Custom short link - Easy to remember and verbally share.

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 materials, etc. The QR is fully customizable (colors, logo in the center).

This is the GREAT advantage of digital cards: when you update your information in CardQR (change your phone, email, title, etc.), the change is instantly reflected. The QR code and URL remain the same, but now they show your new information. You don't need to reprint anything or reshare your card. Everyone 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 job 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 activate/deactivate the ones you don't use temporarily.
