Make a QR code for your business card
Put a code on your card that saves your contact or opens your website. We size it for a standard card, warn you if it's too dense, and lay out a card you can print.
Your codes are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Scanning offers to save you as a contact, with no internet needed. More fields make a denser code.

Questions
How big should the QR code be on a business card?
About 2 to 2.5 cm (0.8 to 1 in) wide, including the white margin, is the usual size. That's what the template uses. At that size a short contact or a link scans easily; a contact with many fields may not, and we warn you when that happens.
Should the code save my contact or open my website?
A contact code saves your details straight to the phone, with no internet needed. A link code is smaller and lets you change what it shows later, by updating the page. Many people use a link to a profile page they control.
What are bleed and the safe area?
Bleed is extra background past the edge of the card, so no white line shows if the cut is slightly off. The safe area is the zone inside the edge where text and the code stay, clear of the cut. The template shows both, and adds crop marks where the card is cut.
Can I send the card to a print shop?
Yes. Turn off the guides, print to PDF at 100% scale, and send that. Or download the code as an SVG and place it in your own design. SVG stays sharp at any size.
Which card sizes are there?
85 × 55 mm, the size used in most of Europe and much of the world, and 3.5 × 2 in, the US and Canada size.
Do you see my details?
No. Your codes are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
