How to make a qr code for business card

  1. 1. Choose what the code does

    Decide whether the code saves your contact (a vCard QR) or opens a link (a URL QR to your portfolio, LinkedIn, or calendar). A vCard QR is the most common business-card choice because scanning adds you straight to the contact list.

  2. 2. Enter your details and style it

    Use QRForge’s vCard generator to add your name, phone, email, organization and a website. Brand it with your colors and a small logo on a level-H code so it still scans.

  3. 3. Size, place and export for print

    Keep the code at least 2×2 cm (0.8 in) on the card with a 4-module quiet zone, export as SVG for crisp print, and test with both iPhone and Android before you print a batch.

Tips for reliable qr code for business cards

  • Use a vCard QR so scanning saves your contact in one tap — no typing.
  • Keep the logo to ≤22% of the code width on a level-H code so it still scans.
  • Print at least 2×2 cm with a clean 4-module quiet zone and matte (not glossy) stock.
  • Export SVG for print so the code stays sharp at any size; PNG for screen previews.

Frequently asked questions

What should a business-card QR code link to?

A vCard QR is the most useful — it saves your full contact card in one scan. A URL QR to your portfolio or LinkedIn is a good alternative if you want to drive traffic to a page instead.

How big should a QR code be on a business card?

At least 2×2 cm (0.8 in) with a 4-module quiet zone around it. Smaller codes are hard to scan, especially on glossy card stock.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?

Yes. Add a centered logo covering no more than ~22% of the code width and use error-correction level H so the code still scans reliably.

Should I use a static or dynamic QR code on my card?

A static code is free and never expires — ideal for business cards printed in bulk. A dynamic code lets you edit the destination later but depends on a server and can expire, so only choose it if you expect the destination to change.
