QR codes for business cards
Hand someone a card with a generic QR square and it goes in a drawer. Hand them one where your face is the QR code, and they scan it — your name, phone, email and website land in their contacts in a single tap.
Why a picture QR code on a business card actually gets used
A plain black-and-white square on a card looks like a fee receipt. A QR code that shows your portrait or your brand looks like an invitation.
- Saves directly to contacts — vCard payload, no landing page, no app, no follow-up tap
- Higher scan rates because people trust a code that visibly belongs to you
- Doubles as your photo — your headshot is the QR, so the card stays clean and minimal
- Prints crisply — SVG export for print shops, PNG for digital cards and email signatures
- Never expires, never charges per scan — generate once, hand out forever
How it works — 60 seconds
- Enter your contact details. Name, phone, email, company, website — anything that belongs on a vCard.
- Upload your portrait or logo. It becomes the background of the QR code.
- Download and send to your print shop. PNG for digital, SVG for print and large-format.
No signup. No expiry. No per-scan fees.
Important tip: Always test your QR code in the environment where it will be used. Try scanning it with different devices and under various lighting conditions to make sure it works reliably for your audience.
Two ready-made templates to start from
Drop in your own portrait QR and your contact details — free to download and edit.
Classic landscape card — portrait QR on the left, contact block on the right. Edit in Word and print from there.
Two-sided HTML card — front carries the portrait QR and contact details, back the monogram and brand line. Edit the HTML in any text editor, print from your browser.
Where a picture-QR business card pays off
- Networking events & conferences — one tap and you’re in their phone, even if they lose the card
- Client handoffs — your card stops being a paper artefact and becomes a contact entry
- Trade-show booths — visitors scan from across the table; no typing, no errors
- Email signatures — the same QR works on screen as it does on paper
- Lanyards & badges — staff cards that double as instant-add contacts
- Real-estate & sales — your face on the listing flyer, scannable straight from a window
