Create a Resume / CV QR code

Why use a Resume / CV QR

Print placements for Resume / CV need size, contrast, and proofing more than fancy styling.
Follow the 10:1 distance rule and leave a quiet zone.
Export SVG for large-format work when you can.

Steps

Portfolio, LinkedIn, or hosted PDF resume. Example: https://yourname.dev
Open the Studio and paste the link into the URL field (or choose WiFi / vCard when relevant).
Optional: enable a dynamic QR code to edit the destination later and track scans.
Customize colors or add your logo, then download PNG or SVG. Check print size before a large run.

Best practices

Link a personal site or LinkedIn — not a fragile file-sharing URL.
Place it in a corner; don’t let it dominate the CV.
Ensure the destination stays online for months after applying.

Common mistakes

Upscaling a tiny PNG for posters
Glossy laminate glare under bright lights
Skipping a real-device proof
