How to make a digital business card

A digital business card takes about five minutes: fill in your details, pick a design, test the QR code, and put it where people will see it. Here's the whole process.

  • Nothing uploaded
  • No sign-up, no subscription
  • Scan → saved to contacts
  • .vcf · QR · PNG · PDF

Social profiles

A handle (@jane) or a full link both work. They're added to the contact file and your card link.

Fewer fields = a less dense code that scans faster from a printed card. The .vcf file always has everything.

    Scanning this QR adds you to the phone's contacts (iPhone and Android camera apps).

    Card image & print

    Print PDF: 3.5 × 2 in with 1/8 in bleed, front and back. Sheet: 10 cards per page, fits standard perforated card stock.

    Your card link

    A web page with your card and a “Save contact” button. Your details are inside the link itself (after the #) and are never stored on our server. Open it

    Email signature

    Email programs only show images hosted online, so paste a link to an image (e.g. your LinkedIn photo or website logo).

    Paste into Gmail (Settings → Signature), Outlook (Settings → Signatures) or Apple Mail. The “Save my contact” link opens your card link.

    1. Decide what goes on it

    Name, job title, company, one phone number, one email and your website cover 90% of needs. Add a work phone, address or social profiles only if people actually use them — every extra line makes the QR code denser. What to put on a business card

    2. Fill in the form and add a photo

    Type your details in the builder on this page. A friendly, well-lit photo helps people remember who you were; it also appears next to your name in their contacts, because it's saved inside the .vcf file.

    3. Pick a template and color

    Choose one of the 32 templates — free ones like Classic, Minimal, Bold, Centered, Outline, Noir, Pastel, Sidebar and Corner, or Pro designs like Midnight, Corporate, Elegant, Terminal, Photo, Swiss, Monogram and Retro. Use your brand color if you have one. See all templates

    4. Test the QR code

    Scan the QR code on the preview with your own phone. The contact that appears should be spelled correctly, with the right number and email. Try a second phone if you can (iPhone and Android).

    5. Share it

    • In person: save the QR code to your phone's photos, or print cards with the code on them.
    • By email: add the email signature with its “Save my contact” link.
    • In chats: send the .vcf file or your card link.
    • On social: put your card link in your bio.
