Put a QR Code on Your Business Card (Free, No Sign-Up)
A QR code on a business card can drop your full contact details into someone's phone in one scan β no typing, no lost card.
The point of a business card is that your details end up in someone's phone. Most cards fail at that: they go in a pocket, then a drawer, and the details are never typed in. A QR code that encodes a vCard closes the gap β one scan and their phone offers to save the contact.
The vCard format
A vCard is plain text in a defined shape, so any generator that takes text can encode it:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Patil;Jitesh;;;
FN:Jitesh Patil
ORG:Your Company
TITLE:Founder
TEL:+911234567890
EMAIL:you@example.com
URL:https://example.com
END:VCARD
N is surname then first name. FN is the name as it should display. Keep every line break exactly as shown.
Keep it short
Every extra field adds data, and more data means more modules packed into the same square, which makes the code denser and harder to scan at business-card size. Name, one phone number, one email and one URL is usually the right set. Postal addresses and second phone numbers are what tip a card-sized code over into unreliable.
Or just link to a page
The alternative is encoding a single short URL to a contact page on your site. The code stays sparse and easy to scan, and you can update the details afterwards without reprinting. The trade is that it needs a working internet connection at the moment of scanning, whereas a vCard does not.
Download SVG for the printer
Business cards are printed small, so sharpness matters. Download the SVG and hand it to your printer or drop it into your layout β it stays crisp at any size, where an enlarged PNG goes blocky. Aim for at least 2cm across on the card and keep the pale margin.
