Space on a business card is tight, so one small square on the back can stand in for a long web address. Paste your link into the box above, click Generate, and download the PNG for your printer. A card is handed over in person, so the page it opens should make sense within seconds of the scan.

Cards can stay in a wallet for a long time, and a printed code cannot be edited, so point it at a page you control and keep that address alive. A link-in-bio page is a smart pick, because you can change its buttons as often as you like while the printed code stays the same.
The back of the card is the natural home, which leaves the front clean for your name and title. A standard card is about 3.5 by 2 inches. A card is held close to the face, and for something held that close about 0.8 inch (2 cm) is the bare minimum, so a code 0.8 to 1 inch square fits comfortably beside a short line of text. If the design has room, go a little larger.
The 400 x 400 pixel PNG works out to about 400 dpi at 1 inch, so it prints clean at card size. Shorter links make simpler patterns, and simpler patterns scan more easily at small sizes. If your link is long, use a tidier page address before you make the code.
Leave a blank margin around the code and keep it away from the trim edge, where a slightly off cut could clip it. Add a few words next to it, like "Book a call" or "See my work", so people know what they will get.
A box of printed cards is the one thing you cannot fix afterward. Print the code on plain paper at the exact size it will be on the card and scan it with more than one phone, holding it at normal reading distance.
Then check the page it opens. Does it load fast on a phone, show your best work first, and make the next step obvious? Hand a test card to a friend who has never seen it and watch what they do.
Ask your printer about the paper finish, too. A very glossy surface can reflect light back at a phone camera.
Not with this tool. It makes a code that opens a link. To get people to your details, link to a page that shows your name, phone, and email clearly, such as a portfolio or link-in-bio page, and let them save the details from there.
The back is the usual spot, which leaves the front clean for your name and title. Place the code toward a corner or the center with a blank margin around it, and add a short line such as "Book a call" so people know what happens when they scan.
For something held close, about 0.8 inch (2 cm) is the bare minimum, and 0.8 to 1 inch square is a sensible size on a card. Anything read from farther away needs more: the size guide has the distance rule. Always print a test and scan it before ordering.
Choose the page you most want a new contact to see. A LinkedIn profile suits a job search or a professional network, while a portfolio or booking page suits creative and service work. If you want to offer several options, link to a link-in-bio page instead.
Yes. Make one code per person, each pointing at that person's own page, and name each downloaded file after the person so the right image reaches the right card design. Print a test card for each before the full order.
