Digital Business Card QR Code Generator
A digital business card QR code opens a contact page that QRdx hosts for you: your photo, name and job title, buttons to call, email, message or get directions, your links, and a Save contact button that adds you to the phone's contacts.
Needs a free QRdx account. The Free plan includes 3 hosted pages.
How to create a Digital Business Card QR code
The code holds a short link, so you can change your number, title or photo after the cards are printed and every card shows the new details. It needs a free QRdx account. For a code that holds the contact itself, with no account, use the vCard QR code generator.
- 1Sign in or create a free account, then start a vCard Plus page: the button above opens it with that type picked.
- 2Pick a template (Classic, Midnight, Minimal or Real estate agent) and fill in your details, photo and links.
- 3Publish the page, then download its QR code for your business card, email signature or badge.
- 4Scan it once and tap Save contact to check what lands in your contacts.
What people see when they scan
Save contact
Downloads a vCard 3.0 file that phones open in their contacts app, with your name, company, job title, phones, emails, website, address, bio, social profiles and photo.
Quick actions
Call, WhatsApp, email and directions buttons, so people can reach you before they save anything.
Share
Opens the phone's share sheet, so the person you met can pass your card on.
Scan counts
The code counts scans without cookies, so you can see how many people opened your card and when.
Change it after printing
Change anything on the page and publish: a new number, a new job title, a new photo. Every printed card opens the new version, and each publish is kept as a version.
The same page can go on an NFC card: its code has Put this card on NFC, which writes the page's link to a blank NFC card from Chrome on Android, and taps are counted apart from scans.
Your code keeps working whatever happens to your plan: that's the Never-Hostage Guarantee.

vCard QR code or digital business card?
vCard QR code (static)
- No account, free for good: the contact details are written into the code itself.
- Works offline: the phone offers to save the contact without opening a page.
- Can't change after printing, has no photo, and every extra field makes the code denser.
Digital business card (hosted page)
- A free QRdx account; the code opens a page QRdx hosts.
- Edit your details, photo and links any time; printed cards keep working.
- Photo, buttons, links and Save contact, plus scan counts.
Digital Business Card QR code FAQ
Is the digital business card free?
Yes, with a free QRdx account. The Free plan includes 3 hosted pages, and each uses one of its 10 dynamic codes. Free pages show a small "Made with QRdx" footer; Pro removes it and the page limit.
What does Save contact add to the phone?
A vCard 3.0 contact with your name, company, job title, phones, emails, website, address, bio, the page's social profiles and your photo. Photos uploaded to QRdx are embedded in the file; photos linked from other sites are included as a link.
Can I change my details after printing?
Yes. Edit the page and publish; the printed code keeps opening it, now with your new details.
What happens to my card if I stop paying?
It keeps working. Under the Never-Hostage Guarantee, codes and pages you already have keep working after a downgrade, a failed payment or a cancellation, and scans are never paused. Plan limits only stop you from creating new ones.
Should I use a vCard QR code instead?
If your details won't change and you don't need a photo or links, yes: a static vCard code needs no account and works offline. If you want to edit the card later or see scans, use the hosted card.
Do people need an app?
No. The phone's camera opens the card in the browser, and Save contact hands the file to the built-in contacts app.
Can I put it on an NFC business card?
Yes. QRdx doesn't sell cards: buy blank NFC cards and write the page's link to them from the code's NFC page in Chrome on Android. Editing the page updates every card you've handed out.
