Decide what your QR code should link to
Most business card QR codes link to one of: your website URL, your LinkedIn profile, your vCard contact details (so people can save your number directly), or a landing page with all your links.
Open the QR Code Generator
Go to the QR Code Generator — it runs in your browser with no account needed.
Select the QR code type
Choose URL for a website link, vCard for contact details (saves name, phone, email to phone contacts), or Text for a plain message.
Enter your details
For URL: paste your website or LinkedIn profile URL. For vCard: enter your name, job title, phone, email, and company. The QR code encodes all of this.
Customise colours (optional)
Match the QR code colours to your brand. Keep the QR code dark on a light background — the contrast must be high for reliable scanning.
Add your logo (optional)
Upload a small logo to embed in the centre of the QR code. QR codes have built-in error correction so a small central logo doesn't break scanning.
Download PNG or SVG
Download as SVG for printing (scales to any size without blurring) or PNG for digital use. Give your designer the SVG file for the print-ready business card.
