Design Tips for Business Card QR Codes
Size: At least 0.8 x 0.8 inches (2 x 2 cm). Smaller codes are harder to scan reliably.
Placement: Back of the card is most common. Front works if your design is minimal.
Contrast: Dark code on light background works best. Avoid low-contrast color combinations.
Quiet zone: Leave white space around the QR code. Don't let text or graphics touch it.
Call to action: Add "Scan to connect" or "View my portfolio" near the code.
Pro Tip: Use a Link-in-Bio Service
Instead of linking directly to LinkedIn, consider using a link-in-bio service like Linktree, Beacons, or your own landing page. This way, one QR code can lead to your LinkedIn, portfolio, email, social media, and more — all in one place. And when you update that page, your QR code automatically reflects the changes.
