One Scan Takes People Straight to Your Work

Stop reciting a long URL or hoping someone types it later. Put a QR code on your card, resume, or booth — one scan and your best work is on their screen, before the conversation cools off.

A portfolio QR code is a QR code that opens your work when scanned — your portfolio site, Behance or Dribbble profile, a PDF case study, or a showreel — so someone reaches your best work in one tap instead of typing a URL later.

Point it at one curated, mobile-friendly destination rather than a cluttered homepage, paste that link into the generator above, and download as PNG or SVG for business cards, resumes, booth signage, or a portfolio cover. Keep it tasteful: one code, strong contrast, and a small label like "Scan to view my work." It scans with the native camera on iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android (10+); no app required. A static code is free; a $15 one-time dynamic code lets you repoint cards you handed out months ago to your current work and count scans by placement — no subscription.

What to Put Behind It

A portfolio QR code is only as good as where it lands. Point it at the single place that shows your work best:

Your portfolio website

The obvious home base — your own domain, full control over layout and story. Best when your site already loads fast on mobile.

Behance or Dribbble

No website yet? Send people to your Behance or Dribbble profile. It's mobile-ready, social-proofed, and always current.

A PDF case study

For a specific pitch, link a single polished case study — problem, process, result. Far stronger than a homepage dump.

LinkedIn profile

For recruiters and B2B, a LinkedIn link adds credibility, recommendations, and an easy way to connect on the spot.

A showreel or Vimeo

Motion designers, videographers, and editors: a 60–90 second reel on Vimeo or YouTube is the fastest proof of skill.

Where Creatives & Freelancers Place It

Resume & cover letter

A small code in the header lets a recruiter jump from paper to your live portfolio without typing a thing — and shows you think about the candidate experience.

Business card

The classic spot. A card has room for a name and a number, not a full URL. The QR carries your whole body of work in one corner.

Gallery or booth wall label

At a show, craft fair, or expo, a wall label with a QR lets a curious visitor save your portfolio while they're still standing in front of the piece.

Printed email signature

On letterhead, invoices, or a printed leave-behind, a small code beside your contact details quietly invites a look at your latest work.

Make the First Impression Count

  1. 1
    Link a curated highlight, not a homepage dump. Recruiters and clients give your work seconds, not minutes. Point the code at your three or four strongest pieces — or a tightly-edited case study — rather than an archive they have to dig through. Curation is itself a portfolio skill, and the scan is your chance to show it.
  2. 2
    Match the destination to the audience. A client evaluating a commission, a recruiter screening candidates, and a fellow creative at a meetup all want different things. If you print one card for everything, point it at a clean landing page that branches out; if you can, use different codes for different contexts.
  3. 3
    Use a $15 one-time dynamic code so one card always points at your latest work. Your best project six months from now doesn't exist yet — but the cards in people's wallets will outlast it. A dynamic code lets you repoint the same printed QR to new work whenever you ship it, so a card you handed out last year still lands on today's portfolio. One $15 payment, no subscription, no reprinting.

Free to Generate. $15 to Keep It Current.

A static portfolio QR code is free forever — no account, no card. Choose a lifetime dynamic code ($15 one-time) when you want the printed code to follow your work as it evolves, plus scan analytics to see which placements actually get scanned.

Portfolio QR Code — Frequently Asked Questions

What should a portfolio QR code link to?
Whatever shows your work best in the fewest taps: your own portfolio site, a Behance or Dribbble profile, a single PDF case study, your LinkedIn, or a showreel on Vimeo or YouTube. The key is to send people to one curated, mobile-friendly destination rather than a cluttered homepage they have to navigate.
Is a portfolio QR code professional, or does it look gimmicky?
Used well, it reads as thoughtful, not gimmicky. A small, clean code tucked into a business card or resume header signals that you respect the other person's time — they get to your work in one scan instead of typing a URL later (which most people never do). Keep it tasteful: one code, good contrast, and a tiny label like "Scan to view my work."
Can I change where the code points after I've printed it?
With a static code, no — the destination is baked into the image, so a new link means a reprint. With a $15 one-time dynamic code, yes: you can repoint the same printed QR to a new site, project, or reel anytime, so cards you handed out months ago still land on your current portfolio.
Will the code still work if I redesign my website?
It depends on the URL, not the design. If your new site keeps the same address (for example yourname.com), a static code keeps working through any redesign. If the URL changes, a static code breaks and needs reprinting — which is exactly the case a dynamic code is built for, since you just update the destination.
What size should the QR code be on a business card?
Aim for at least about 2 x 2 cm (roughly 0.8 inch) on a card, with clear quiet space around it and strong dark-on-light contrast. Anything much smaller gets unreliable for older phone cameras. Always test-scan the actual printed card on both an iPhone and an Android before ordering a batch.
Can I see how many people scanned my portfolio code?
Only with a dynamic code. A static QR encodes the link directly and can't count scans. A dynamic code routes through a short link, so you can see scan counts and trends — useful for learning whether your business card, resume, or booth label is the placement actually driving views.
