A business card QR code can open a web page or carry contact details as a vCard. Choose the action your recipient needs: visiting a portfolio and saving a contact are different tasks.
Choose a link or contact data
A URL code opens a page you maintain. You can update that page while keeping its address. A static vCard stores the contact fields directly in the code; changing those fields later requires a new code.
The current Contact form supports full name, phone, email and website. It does not have separate company, job title or street-address fields. Use a link to a public profile if you need a richer page.
Create the code
- Open the generator and choose Contact or URL / Text.
- Enter only information you intend to share. Check the spelling and use a recognisable phone number format.
- Download PNG or SVG. SVG is useful for compatible print layout applications.
- Scan the exported file on more than one phone and inspect the proposed contact or destination.
Prepare the printed card
Keep a plain light background, dark modules and at least four modules of clear margin. Add a short instruction such as “Save my contact” or “View my portfolio”. Keep essential contact details readable on the card as well.
Longer contact data creates a denser pattern. Do not rely on a universal minimum print size. Print a sample at final size on the intended material and test it under ordinary lighting.
Before ordering the full batch
Verify the final production artwork, including its margin. Contact applications can interpret optional fields differently. If your details may change soon, a URL to a page you control can be easier to maintain than static contact data.
Read vCard fields and quiet zones for more detail.
