What is a QR code and how does it work?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can store various types of information including URLs, text, contact details, and more. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it instantly provides access to the encoded information.

How do I create a QR code for my business card?

Creating a QR code for your business card is simple: Choose the 'VCard' QR type, fill in your contact information (name, phone, email, company), customize the design with your logo and brand colors, then download and print it on your business cards.

Can I edit my QR code after printing it?

Yes! With our dynamic QR codes, you can edit the destination URL or content anytime without needing to reprint. This is perfect for marketing campaigns, product packaging, or when your links change.

What file formats can I download my QR code in?

We offer multiple download formats: PNG (high-resolution images perfect for printing), SVG (scalable vector graphics for web use), and PDF (professional documents). All formats maintain the highest quality.
