How to use QR codes on digital business cards
Paper cards get lost; a QR on the back (or a phone wallpaper) can open a page you actually own—contact, calendar, deck. Dynamic links mean you don’t redistribute cards every time you switch roles.
Built for founders, freelancers, and sales teams.
Do this in order
- Build a single landing page with the actions you want: save contact, book time, view work.
- Create a high-contrast QR in UseQR and test at the distance you’ll show it in conversation.
- Prefer SVG or vector exports for crisp print on cards and badges.
- When your headline or offer changes, update the URL behind the code—not the physical card.
Common placements
- vCard profile
- portfolio link
- booking link
What to put on the landing page
- One sentence who you help and how.
- Primary CTA: book, email, or call—pick one.
- Optional: short social proof or a PDF one-pager.
Questions people ask
- vCard vs website?
- A tiny vCard QR is great for “save contact.” A page QR is better when you need context, proof, and multiple CTAs.
- Can I track scans?
- Yes—UseQR analytics help you see if events or outbound pushes drive interest.
