Static VCard QR Code
One scan saves your name, phone, email, and address to the scanner's phone. No account needed, no expiration.
This type is designed for shareable contact cards, with enough fields to export a clean vCard payload across multiple versions.
Save personal contact details directly into the phone.
If you need to update the content or see who scans, create a dynamic QR code instead.

The QR content stores text only. No images.
No social links
LinkedIn, X, Instagram are not supported.
No editing after print
Changing your number? You need a new QR code.
No scan tracking
No analytics, no data on who scanned or when.
No landing page
The code saves a contact file directly. No web page.
Denser pattern
