How to make it

  1. Choose the Contact type above (it is already selected for you).
  2. Enter your first name, last name, phone number and email address.
  3. Add your company and website if you want them on the card too.
  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 natively through the built-in camera app, but check on an actual iPhone and an actual Android phone before you print in bulk — not just a simulator.

Frequently asked questions

Does a business card QR code expire?

No. This generator makes a static code: your contact details are encoded directly into the image, so it keeps working for as long as the image itself exists. It does not depend on this site staying online, and there is no subscription to let lapse.

Do I need an account to make one?

No. There is no sign up and no login. Fill in your details, download the PNG, and use it. Nothing you type is sent to a server — the code is drawn in your browser.

What happens when I change jobs or my phone number?

The old code still points to the old details, because the information is baked into the image itself. Generate a new code with your updated details and reprint your cards; there is no way to edit a static code after the fact.

Will scanning this add me straight to contacts?

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.

Should I include a photo in the vCard?

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.

Can I put a logo in the middle of the code?

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.
