How to Add a QR Code to Your Business Card

Quick Answer

Adding a QR code to a business card lets recipients save your contact details or visit your website with a single scan. UnlimitedQRCodes.com generates business card QR codes in SVG vector format — the professional standard for print production — for free with no account required.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Choose your QR code type

Two main options: 1) vCard QR code — recipients scan to save your name, phone, email, and company directly to their contacts. 2) URL QR code — links to your website, LinkedIn profile, or portfolio. Both options are on UnlimitedQRCodes.com.

2

Generate your QR code

On UnlimitedQRCodes.com, use the vCard tab for contact saving or the URL tab for a link. Enter your details. Optionally choose a colour to match your brand.

3

Download as SVG

Always download as SVG for business card production. SVG is a vector format — your graphic designer or print shop (Vistaprint, Moo, Canva Print, or local printers) can scale it to exactly the right size without any quality loss.

4

Place in your design

Recommended size: 1.5cm × 1.5cm to 2cm × 2cm on a standard business card. Place on the back of the card. Add a call to action: 'Scan to save my contact' or 'Scan to visit my site'. Import the SVG into Illustrator, InDesign, Canva, or your print template.

Pro Tips

  • →SVG is the correct format for printing — never use PNG for business card QR codes (will pixelate at high DPI)
  • →Minimum size: 1.5cm × 1.5cm — smaller than this and some phones struggle to scan reliably
  • →Test the printed result before ordering 500 cards — scan with both iPhone and Android at the actual print size
  • →Use a dark colour for the QR code against a white or light background — high contrast is essential for reliable scanning
  • →Add 'Scan to save my contact' text near the QR code — 68% more people scan when given a clear instruction

Frequently Asked Questions

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

1.5cm × 1.5cm to 2cm × 2cm on a standard 85mm × 55mm business card. This is large enough for reliable scanning with all modern smartphones. Always use SVG format so the QR code stays crisp at any print resolution.

Should I use a vCard QR code or a URL QR code on my business card?

Use a vCard QR code if your primary goal is saving contact details — recipients scan once and your name, phone, email, and company save to their contacts. Use a URL QR code if your primary goal is driving to your website, LinkedIn, or portfolio.

Can I use a coloured QR code on my business card?

Yes. UnlimitedQRCodes.com lets you choose any QR code colour. Ensure the colour is dark enough against the background for reliable scanning — dark blue, dark green, and dark grey work well. Avoid light colours like yellow, pale blue, or pink.
