How to make a business card QR code
- Fill in your first and last name, phone number with country code, email, company and website. Leave out anything you do not want to share.
- Keep the code simple: square dots and dark on light scan best at small sizes.
- Set the print size to at least 2.5 cm, download the SVG for your designer, and test it before ordering cards.
Why a vCard code beats typing
Most people never type a phone number from a business card. A vCard QR code saves everything with one tap and without spelling mistakes, which means more people actually keep your details.
Design tips
- Put the code on the back of the card with a short line such as "Scan to save my contact".
- Fewer details make a smaller, easier to scan code. Name, phone and email are often enough.
- Use the SVG file so the printer gets a perfectly sharp code at any size.
Changing jobs or numbers
The details live inside the code. If your number or title changes, make a new code for your next batch of cards. It takes under a minute and costs nothing.
Frequently asked questions
What is a vCard QR code?
It is a QR code that holds contact details in the standard vCard format. Phones read it and offer to save it as a new contact.
What is the smallest size I can print?
Keep it at least 2.5 cm wide on a business card. If you include many details, go a little bigger.
Will it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both read vCard codes with the built in camera and open the save contact screen.
Is my contact information stored by Rumooz?
No. The code is generated in your browser and your details never reach our servers.
