How to Create a QR Code for a Business Card
Adding a QR code to your business card lets someone save your contact info with a single scan — no typing, no typos. Here's how to create one for free.
What Is a vCard QR Code?
A vCard QR code encodes your contact details (name, phone, email, company) into a scannable code. When scanned, it opens a contact card ready to save directly to the phone's address book.
Step 1: Use the Free Generator
Go to howtocreateaqrcode.com and select the vCard option. Fill in your name, phone, email, website, company, and address.
Step 2: Customize the Design
Pick a color that matches your brand. Change the foreground color, background color, and add rounded corners. Keep the contrast high so scanners can read it easily.
Step 3: Download and Print
Download as PNG or SVG. Add it to your business card design — place it on the back or bottom corner. Make sure it's at least 2cm × 2cm (0.8 inches).
Tips for Best Results
- Test before printing — scan with multiple phones to make sure it works
- Keep it clean — don't put text or logos too close to the QR code
- Use high contrast — dark code on a light background scans fastest
- Update your vCard — change jobs? generate a new code and reprint
