Quick answers
How to make a business card QR code
Fill in the vCard fields, download SVG for print, place it on your business card with enough quiet space, and test scan before ordering cards.
How to add a QR code to a business card

Why use this tool
Your contact details stay on your device. The QR is generated locally; no server ever sees your personal information. No account, no watermark.
Sizing for business cards
A QR code on a business card should be at least 0.8 in / 20 mm wide. Keep a quiet zone around it and avoid putting text, logos, or trim marks too close.
What to include
Name, company, title, phone, email, and website are usually enough. Long addresses and extra URLs make the pattern denser, so test scan the final card proof.

QR codes for business cards
A vCard QR code on a business card lets someone save your contact to their phone with one scan, no manual entry or app install. Both iOS and Android handle vCard 3.0 natively.
For print, use SVG output, high contrast, and enough quiet zone around the code. Keep the QR at least 0.8 in / 20 mm wide on the finished card. Smaller codes can work in perfect conditions, but they fail faster with matte paper, low light, or older cameras.
The key trade-off is information density. A vCard with name, title, company, phone, email, and website usually scans well. Extra address lines and profile URLs can help, but they make the QR denser, so test scan the exact proof before printing a batch.

FAQ
Common questions
Does this upload my content anywhere?
No. QR payloads are generated in the browser using a client-side library and rendered on the page locally.
Which export should I choose?
SVG is best for print and scaling. PNG is easier for quick sharing in slides, docs, chats, and social posts.
Why did my QR stop rendering?
Very long content can exceed QR capacity. Shorten the text or lower the error correction level to fit more data.
What does error correction do?
Error correction adds backup data so the QR can still be read even when partly covered, damaged, or printed on a rough surface. Higher levels (Q, H) tolerate more damage but make the pattern denser. Medium (M) is a good default for most uses.
