QR code for your business card.
Nobody wants to type a phone number from a card. A vCard code puts your name, number, email and company straight into their contacts.
Fill in your details. The code holds them directly, so it works without the internet.
How it works.
- 01
Enter your details
Name, phone, email, company, job title and website. Fill in only what you want on the card.
- 02
Download the code
SVG or PDF for your printer or your design tool. PNG if you are adding it to a slide or an email signature.
- 03
Place it on the back
Give the code its own space on the back of the card, with a short line such as "Scan to save my contact".
Free code or dynamic code?
A free vCard code is enough when
your details are stable. The contact is stored inside the code itself, so it works offline and nothing can ever switch it off. The trade-off: to change a detail you print new cards.
Free. No sign-up.
Go dynamic when
you want to update things after printing. Point a dynamic code at your profile page, your booking link or your LinkedIn. Change jobs or phone numbers and the cards already in people's wallets still lead to the right place.
Either way, the code does not expire. A dynamic code keeps redirecting on every plan, including after you downgrade or cancel. The one exception is a code disabled for phishing, malware or other abuse.
Small print needs a little care.
- Keep the details short
- Every field you add makes the pattern denser and harder to scan at card size. Name, phone, email and company are usually enough.
- Size
- At least 2 cm (0.8 in) across on a card. If you fill in many fields, go to 2.5 cm.
- A link scans easiest
- A code that holds only a short link has a simple pattern and scans well even when small. That is one more reason to use a dynamic code on a card.
- Paper and finish
- Matte or uncoated stock scans best. On dark cards, print the code in a light box rather than inverting it.
- Test before the print run
- Print one card on a normal printer at real size and scan it with two different phones.
