THE PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to make a digital business card people can actually use.

Start with a clear introduction. Add the details someone needs next. Then give your card a proper test before your next conversation.

HomeHow to Make a Digital Business Card

A digital business card is a page you can share by link or QR code. Your name and contact details sit alongside the photos, videos and links that help explain your work. The person receiving it can open the page in a browser.

Before you begin, gather your preferred business email, phone number, website address, a profile photo and your logo. Decide what you want someone to do after meeting you: call, browse your work or open a booking link. That decision makes the rest of the design easier.

01 / GET SET UP

Open eBiz and create your first card

Choose the iOS app, Android app or browser version on the download page. Create your account or sign in, then select Create your first card or Create business card from the home screen.

Choose Business card for your work identity. Use the name people know you by, followed by a useful role or business name. “Residential electrician” explains more than “Owner” alone. If you use a professional prefix, select it; otherwise leave it as None.

02 / MAKE IT YOURS

Choose a style, then keep the text readable

Browse the Card style choices and watch the preview. Start with a simple background that gives your name and contact details enough contrast. Use your profile photo for recognition and your logo for the business; they have different jobs.

If your artwork is busy, avoid placing small text over its most detailed area. Check the preview at phone size, where a long company name or an intricate logo can become hard to read. Our digital business card examples show ways different professions can organize their information.

03 / ADD THE ESSENTIALS

Give people a clear way to contact you

Add your work email, phone number and website, then the social profiles relevant to your business. Copy the full website or profile address, including https://, when a field asks for a link. Use a business number you are comfortable sharing publicly.

You do not need every social account on your first card. A photographer might prioritize a portfolio and inquiry link; a consultant might choose a website and scheduling page. Remove unused fields instead of filling them with placeholders.

04 / SHOW YOUR WORK

Add photos, video and supporting content

Select Preview card, review the result, then choose Create card. Once it is saved, reopen Edit to use Add profile images. This gallery belongs near the main card. Choose a small set of distinct images that explain your work, rather than several near-identical shots.

The editor also has Add a profile video. Make an introduction easy to understand without relying on sound alone. To add other material, open View Card, choose Edit Card Content and tap Add. Available content includes text, photos, video, a map and a QR code. Drag the content handles to arrange the rows, then use Return to card view.

Photo, video and customization allowances vary by plan. Compare plans before deciding which media to include.

05 / CHECK THE REAL EXPERIENCE

Open your shared link before sending it widely

Use Share on your saved card and send the link to yourself. Open it in a browser where you are signed out. Check your name, logo, image gallery and contact details. Tap every website and social link, play the video and check that your contact download contains the right information.

For in-person sharing, scan the card’s QR code from another phone. For a printed card or event sign, follow our QR business card guide. If you only need a code containing fixed contact details, the free QR generator offers that too.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions before you start

Can I make a digital business card without a designer?

Yes. Start with a card style, add your own details and use a clear profile photo. A short name, readable text and a few useful links are enough to make a practical first card.

Can I create my card on a computer?

Yes. Use the eBiz web app in your browser, or build your card in the iOS or Android app. The download page links to all three options.

Why do I need to save before adding a profile gallery?

The gallery needs an existing card to belong to. Create the card first, open Edit, then choose Add profile images. Extra content can be added from View Card through Edit Card Content.

Will changing my card update a contact someone already saved?

Changes appear on your hosted card when someone opens its link again. A contact already imported into a phone is a separate saved copy; it does not automatically update when you edit the hosted card.
