Resume QR code for your CV and portfolio
A code on the printed CV that opens the full story: work, skills and a PDF.
A resume QR code opens a hosted CV page with your summary, experience, skills, a PDF to download and links to LinkedIn or your portfolio. Print it in the corner of your paper CV or on a careers fair card, and keep the page current as you grow.
One corner, the full story

Questions and answers
Before you print
- Is it free?
- Fixed codes are free: make as many as you like, download a PNG with no sign-up, and get every other format and print files with a free account. Editable codes come with a plan, a pass, Keep-alive or the 14-day trial.
- Can I change the link after printing?
- Yes, with an editable code. It holds a short link you control, so you can point the printed code somewhere new any time, and the next scan opens the new page. A fixed code keeps the link it was made with.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. A custom domain is included on passes, from Starter, and during the trial. Starter covers one subdomain, for example go.yourbrand.com, and apex domains start on Pro.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Editable codes work to the end of your paid period, and after a failed payment every code keeps working for 14 days. Turn codes back on within 12 months. Fixed codes keep working as long as their links do.
Should I put a QR code on my resume?
Yes, when it opens something the page cannot hold: your portfolio, projects or a fuller history.
What should the code link to?
A page with your summary, experience, skills, a PDF and your profiles.
Can I update it after I apply?
Yes. Edit the page and every printed CV shows your latest version.
Can I see when my CV is read?
Yes. The app shows scans per day, so you know when someone opened your CV.
Can I attach my CV as a PDF?
Yes. The CV template has a file block for a downloadable PDF.
Is a resume QR code free?
A fixed code to your own portfolio is free in SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF and EPS. The hosted CV page needs an editable code.
Can I make a version per application?
Yes. Make a page and a code per role, each with the projects that match the job.
Where should the code go on a CV?
In the top corner beside your name or at the foot of the first page, in the ink colour of your text, about 2 cm wide.
