How to Save a QR Code on Your Phone or Computer

Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to save your digital business card’s QR code on your iPhone, Android phone, or your computer for easy sharing.

QR codes are everywhere these days—they take the form of menus at restaurants, payment tools at convenience stores, and as a means to share contact information on mobile apps. Their easy-to-use, touch-free nature makes using QR codes a no-brainer for quick, touchless information scanning.


With HiHello, you can create and customize a free digital business card, and then share your card using its unique QR code. To share your virtual card using a QR code, have the other person aim their phone’s camera at your code. They will instantly receive your digital business card on their phone and will have all your contact information at their fingertips.


You can also save your digital business card’s QR code as an image. Once saved to your phone or computer, you can place your QR code anywhere. Include it in your email signature (learn how to create an email signature that links to your business card), on social media posts, or brochures or flyers. You can even print it and place it in a picture frame for the front of your office. As long as your business card remains active, your QR code will always link back to your card.
