Why Add a QR Code to Your Business Card?

⚡

One scan

A phone opens the page, number, or email you put in the code. Nobody has to type it.

📄

Static code

The content is stored in the code. ScaScan does not count scans or change the destination later.

🖨️

Print a new code to change it

A new website or phone number needs a new code and a new print run.

What the code can open

The generator has URL, phone, and email types. Pick the one that matches the card. It does not create a contact-card file, a payment code, or a code that you can retarget after printing.

LinkedIn Profile

Best for: Professionals, job seekers, executives

Instantly adds your professional presence. Viewers can connect, message, and see your full work history.

Personal Website / Portfolio

Best for: Designers, photographers, developers, consultants

Showcases your work far better than a card can. Great for creative professionals.

Phone number

Best for: Anyone who wants a call from the card

The phone type encodes a tel: link. A scan can start a call. It does not save a full address book entry by itself.

Booking / Calendly Link

Best for: Coaches, therapists, freelancers, service businesses

Let people book a meeting immediately while they still have your card in hand.

WhatsApp / Direct Chat

Best for: Small business owners in regions where WhatsApp dominates

Starts a conversation instantly without phone number exchange friction.

Go to Scascan's Free QR Generator

Enter a link, phone number, or email

Use URL for a website or profile. Use phone or email for those actions. There is no separate contact-card type.

Download in High Resolution

Download as PNG (for digital) or SVG (for print — infinitely scalable, sharp at any size).

Add to Your Business Card Design

Place in a corner of your card at minimum 2cm × 2cm. Test the QR code scans correctly before printing.

Business Card QR Code Design Tips

✓Minimum size: 2cm × 2cm — smaller codes fail to scan, especially on textured or glossy card stock.
✓High contrast is critical — dark QR on light background always outperforms inverted versions.
✓Add a short line — print “Scan for the portfolio” or “Scan to call” next to the code so people know what it does.
✓Test before printing — scan on iOS and Android before sending to print.
✓Use SVG format — vector files stay sharp at any print resolution, unlike PNG.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a QR code for a business card?

Open the QR code generator, choose URL, phone, or email, enter the content, and download PNG or SVG. Place it on the card at least 2 cm square and scan it on a phone before you print a batch.

What size should a QR code be on a business card?

At least 2 cm by 2 cm. Smaller than that is harder to scan, especially on textured card stock.

Can I add a logo?

Yes. The generator can place a logo in the center and change the colors. Scan the finished code. A logo that covers too much of the pattern will fail.

Is this the same as a restaurant QR menu?

No. A business-card code opens a link, a phone number, or an email. A restaurant QR menu is published from ScaScan Restaurant and can take a table order. Use that product for dining, not this page.

Create the code, then print it

No account needed. Download PNG or SVG, then test a scan before the print run.
