Common projects
Who Prints QR Codes on Business Cards
Anyone whose card should end in a saved contact, not a drawer.
Networking and events
One scan saves your full contact — no typing, no lost cards, no misspelled email addresses.
Whole-team card runs
Import a CSV of the staff list and generate every employee's code in one batch — each named after its owner.
Small business owners
Link the code to your booking page or portfolio instead of contact details — one scan starts the sale.
Freelancers and consultants
Point the code at your calendar or portfolio so the card keeps working long after the handshake.
What to encode
vCard or URL: Pick the Right Payload
The two classic business card codes serve different goals.
vCard for contacts, URL for actions
A vCard code saves you to their phone in one tap — best for people. A plain URL code drives traffic to your site, menu, or booking page — best for businesses. This generator makes vCards; paste URLs one per line for the other kind.
Optional file names
Use Name,Value on a line to give its PNG a useful file name, or keep automatic numbered names.
PNG and ZIP downloads
Download one PNG from its preview or package every generated PNG into one ZIP file.
Print spec: at least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) with a clear margin on all sides, dark code on light stock, matte finish beats glossy.
Before the print run
Check Your Cards Before Printing 500
A QR code misprint is the most expensive typo on a business card.
Respect the minimum size
2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) is the floor for close-range scanning. Smaller codes fail on older phones — when in doubt, go bigger.
Test with real phones
Scan samples with more than one phone or camera app, especially after resizing or placing them in a layout.
Protect contrast and spacing
Keep a clear quiet zone around each code and use strong contrast between the foreground and background.
Proof one card first
Print a single card, scan it with two different phones, and confirm the contact saves correctly before approving the full run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about QR size on business cards, what to encode, placement, team batches, expiration, and cost.
How big should a QR code be on a business card?
At least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) for reliable close-range scanning, with a clear quiet zone (empty margin) around it. A vCard holds a lot of data, so the code is dense — 2.5 cm is safer if your layout allows.
What should a business card QR code link to?
Two proven options: a vCard (scan saves your full contact to their phone — best for networking) or a URL to your portfolio, booking page, or LinkedIn (best when you want an action, not a contact save).
Where on the card should the QR code go?
The back of the card is the classic spot — full attention, no layout competition. If it goes on the front, keep it away from edges and folds, and never let design elements touch the quiet zone.
Can I make QR business cards for my whole team at once?
Yes — that's what this page is built for. Import a CSV with one row per employee (name, title, company, phone, email, website), and you get up to 100 individually named vCard codes in one batch.
Do QR codes on business cards expire?
No. These are static codes — the contact data lives inside the code itself, so it scans forever with no account or subscription. If your details change, generate a new code for the next print run.
Is this business card QR generator really free?
Yes — up to 100 codes per batch, PNG or ZIP download, no sign-up, no watermark. Everything runs in your browser, so your team's contact details never leave your device.
