How does a QR code business card work?

The printed code encodes your page's address. Any phone camera scans it and opens the page, where your details are ready to save, call or message.

Can I print it at high quality?

Yes. The free generator exports SVG, which scales to any print size without losing sharpness, alongside PNG for screens.

What if my details change after printing?

The code keeps working. It points at your page's address, not at the details themselves — update the page and every printed code opens the new version.

Do people scanning need an app?

No. The camera app on any modern phone reads QR codes, and the card opens in the browser.

QR code business card

The QR code business card: paper on the table, live page behind it.

A QR code business card does not replace your paper card — it upgrades it. Print the code on cards, menus, badges or a counter stand; the scan opens a page that is always current and saves in one tap.

Free to start, no card needed. Your page is live the moment you publish it.

Why it works

What a QR code business card gets you.

Print it anywhere

The free generator exports PNG and SVG, so the code stays crisp on a business card or a shop-window poster.

The destination stays current

The code points at your page's permanent address. Reprint nothing when your details change.

Scan to save, not just to visit

The page that opens is built to end in a saved contact, a call or a WhatsApp message.

Works with the camera app

Every modern phone scans QR codes natively — there is nothing for the other person to install.

At a glance

How big to print the QR code.

Where it goes	Print the code at least	Scans comfortably from
Business card or badge	2 cm	A hand's reach
Counter stand or menu	4–5 cm	Across the counter, about a metre
Poster or shop window	10 cm+	Two to three metres

Rule of thumb: scanning distance is about ten times the code's width. Use the SVG export when printing large — it stays sharp at any size.

How it works

Three steps, no app.

Publish your card

Claim a handle and put your details on the page the code will open.

Generate the QR

Use the free QR tool — PNG for screens, SVG for print, no signup.

Put it in the world

Business cards, table stands, badges, packaging, slides.

Straight answer

A printed code is a commitment.

The square encodes one address. Change the details behind it as often as you like — but change the address itself, to a new handle or a different destination, and every card already printed points at nothing. Settle on the handle you can live with for years before the file goes to the printer.
