A free business card generator with a built-in QR code
Most business card generators stop at the design. This one adds a scannable QR code to every card, so the person you hand it to can save your contact or open your website in one scan. Pick a template, add your details, and download a print-ready file in under a minute. No account, no watermark.
Why put a QR code on your business card?
People rarely type contact details from a paper card. They pocket it, forget it, and lose it. A QR code fixes that. One scan with a phone camera and your name, number, email and website go straight into their contacts. No typing, no typos, no lost leads.
That makes a QR business card the best of both worlds: something physical to hand over, plus an instant digital copy.
How to design a business card that gets kept
- Lead with your name. It should be the largest text on the card.
- One brand color. Use it for an accent, not everywhere. The templates here do that for you.
- Leave breathing room. White space makes a card look premium. Don't add every detail you have.
- Make the QR code big enough. At least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) so it scans first time.
- Print on thick stock. 300–400 gsm feels professional. Thin paper feels like a flyer.
What to include on your card
| Must have | Nice to have |
|---|---|
| Name | Photo or logo |
| Job title & company | Address |
| Phone or email | Social profile (in the QR code) |
| QR code | A short tagline |
Business card sizes around the world
| Region | Size | Pixels at 300 DPI |
|---|---|---|
| US & Canada | 3.5 × 2 in (88.9 × 50.8 mm) | 1050 × 600 |
| Europe & UK | 85 × 55 mm | 1004 × 650 |
| Australia & India | 90 × 55 mm | 1063 × 650 |
| Japan | 91 × 55 mm | 1075 × 650 |
The downloaded card uses the US standard. Printers in other regions will usually scale it with a little cropping at the edges, so keep important details away from the borders.
Printed card vs. digital business card
A printed card is a snapshot. Once it's handed out, you can't change the phone number, fix a typo or see who looked at it. A digital business card is a live page behind a link, QR code or NFC tap. Edit it anytime, add a portfolio, booking button and payment links, and track every view.
Many professionals use both: a printed card with a QR code that opens their digital card. If you're an agency or print shop, you can sell digital cards to your own clients with GoBiz SaaS, a white-label digital business card platform. Need just a contact file?
