Quick QR Maker

Create a Scannable QR Code for Business Cards

Add a QR code to your printed business card so people can save your details without typing them. Sized for print, free, and never expires.

A last name or company is required so the contact can be saved.

Example. Paste something to make your own.

How to make it

  1. Enter your first name and last name in the fields above.
  2. Add your phone number, with its country code, and your email address.
  3. Add your company if you want it saved with the contact.
  4. Check the preview, then set the size to Small (128px) or Medium (256px) for a card-sized code.
  5. Download the PNG and place it on the back of your printed card.

When to use it

Networking events and conferences

Hand someone a card and let them scan it instead of typing your number into their phone while you both stand there.

Sales and field reps

A scanned contact card goes straight into the other person’s address book with the correct spelling of your name and title, not a rushed note.

Real estate and service businesses

Leave a card at a property or job site; the homeowner scans it later instead of hunting for where they put it.

Freelancers replacing paper cards

Put the same code on an email signature, a laptop sticker, or a printed card, so every touchpoint saves the same contact entry.

Tips

Keep the print size in the 18 to 25 mm range
A business card is roughly 85 by 55 mm, so the code needs to stay legible at a small physical size. Test a printed proof by scanning it from a normal arm’s length before ordering a full batch.
Use error correction level M
M (about 15% damage recovery) is the right balance for a business card: enough tolerance for a card that gets a bit worn in a wallet, without adding so much data density that the code becomes harder to scan at a small size.
Skip the logo on a card-sized code
A logo eats into the same small area you need for reliable scanning. At business-card size, leave the logo off and put your branding on the card layout instead.
Put the code on the back
The front of a business card usually carries your name and title as text already. The back is free real estate, and it keeps the front from looking cluttered.
Test with both iOS and Android
Both platforms read vCard QR codes with the built-in camera app, but scan a printed proof with an actual iPhone and an actual Android phone before you print in bulk. A code that scans from a screen can still fail on paper at 20 mm.

Frequently asked questions

No. It is a static code: your contact details are encoded in the image itself, so it keeps working for as long as the image exists.

No. Fill in your details, download the PNG, and use it. There is no sign up.

The old code still holds the old details. Generate a new code with the updated details and reprint your cards; a static code cannot be edited after the fact. Keep a copy of the vCard fields you used so the reprint matches everywhere else you put the code.

On most phones, yes: scanning a vCard QR code opens a "create contact" screen prefilled with the fields you entered, and the person just taps to save. A few older camera apps show the raw text first instead of a contact card prompt.

This generator does not add one, and that is deliberate: an embedded photo makes the underlying data much longer, which forces a denser, harder-to-scan code. Keep the code to name, phone, email, company and website.

You can, using the Logo upload option in the tool above, but it is not recommended at business-card print sizes. A logo reduces the usable area for the actual data, and a card-sized code has little room to spare.
