QR codes for business cards
Put a vCard QR code on your card: people scan it and save your name, phone, email and website straight into their contacts. A free static vCard is fine if your details rarely change. If they might, use a dynamic contact page instead. QRVow codes never stop working, so a box of 500 cards stays useful even if you cancel.
What to put in the code
A free static vCard
No sign-up. Your details live inside the code itself, so it works even without signal.
Contact card (vCard) QR code →A contact page you can update
A hosted contact page with a Save contact button. Change your number or job title later without reprinting.
Dynamic QR code QR code →Everything on one page
Portfolio, booking link and socials behind one code.
Links page (link-in-bio) QR code →Print tips
- At least 2 cm wide on a standard 8.5 cm card.
- Fewer details make a smaller, easier pattern. A dynamic code is always simple, because it only holds a short link.
- Leave a light border around it, and keep it away from the card's edge.
- Foil or spot UV over the code can stop it scanning. Keep finishes off it.

Questions
What should a QR code on a business card contain?
Your contact details as a vCard, so one scan saves them. Or a link to a contact page or portfolio. Keep it to what people actually need.
Static or dynamic vCard: which is better?
Static is free and works offline, but can never change. A dynamic contact page can be edited, so a new phone number doesn't mean new cards.
How big should the QR code be on a business card?
At least 2 cm wide, with a clear light border. Run your card design through the print check before ordering.
Can Vow make a contact page from my old card?
Yes, on Pro, Business and Lifetime. Choose Fill from a photo, take a picture of the card, and check the details before saving.
Will the code stop working if I change jobs or stop paying?
No. It keeps working on every plan. If it's dynamic, just update it to your new details.
