Business card QR code
Make a compact business card lead to a fuller introduction, portfolio or contact page. Choose a page that stays useful beyond your next job title.
The studio preset fits a restrained card layout. This recipe links to a contact page; it does not silently create a downloadable address-book contact.
How to make it
- Publish a mobile-friendly profile or contact page.
- Paste its full address into the URL tab.
- Keep a readable name and contact method on the card, then test a printed sample.
Before you share
Do not rely on QR alone for essential contact details. Check that visitors can open the page without your company account.
From your first draft to a finished QR
Start with the action you want someone to take. Open the destination on a phone before copying its complete address. A page that works in your own signed-in browser may still ask a visitor to log in or request access. For a public handout, test it in a private browsing window and give the code a short caption explaining what opens. Keep a readable address or another way to get help nearby for people who cannot scan.
Use the suggested design as a starting point, then replace the sample content with your own. Choose dark dots on a light, solid background and leave the clear space around the code intact. If you add a logo, keep it small and check the warnings. The preview checks are useful feedback, but they cannot reproduce every phone camera, printer, light source or paper surface your audience will encounter.
Check it where people will use it
Download the actual file and scan that file, rather than relying only on the editor preview. For print, place it at its intended size, print one copy and try it with more than one phone. Check both the camera response and the page or connection it opens. Test from the distance and angle a visitor will use, including reflections from a cover, window or glossy table sign.
Keep the original SVG for scalable design artwork, or choose a large PNG when your layout tool needs a bitmap. Avoid screenshots, repeated compression and stretching the code into a rectangle. Save a copy of the destination address alongside the artwork. Review the destination again before a large print run and periodically after publication: the static pattern stays the same even if the linked website changes or disappears.
