How to Create a QR Code for a Business Card
Published January 16, 2026 · QR Toolkit Editorial Team
A QR code on a business card should let the scanner save your contact details in one tap. The most reliable way is a vCard QR code — it works offline and doesn't depend on a link staying live.
Step-by-step
- Open the business card QR code generator.
- Enter your name, title, company, phone, and email.
- Add optional links like LinkedIn or a personal website.
- Download the QR code and place it on your card design at 0.8–1.2 inches square.
What information to include
- Name and job title
- Direct phone number and email
- Company name
- One professional link (LinkedIn or a personal site) — avoid overloading with every social profile
Placement and size
Print the QR code on the back of the card or in a corner of the front, with a clear quiet-zone margin around it. See best QR code size for printing for exact sizing guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Should a business card QR code link to a vCard or a webpage?
A vCard is best if you want the scan to save contact details directly. A webpage link is better if you want to showcase a portfolio, booking page, or more content than a contact card allows.
