QR Code for Your Resume or Portfolio
Turn a paper resume into a link to your whole story.
A resume has one page; your work doesn't. A QR code on your resume or portfolio opens the thing a PDF can't show, a live portfolio, a video intro, your LinkedIn, or a project demo. Because it's dynamic, you can keep one printed or PDF resume and update where the code points as you add projects or change focus, and you'll even see when a recruiter scans it, a quiet signal that your application is getting attention.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Show, don't tell
Send recruiters to a live portfolio or demo that a one-page resume can never contain.
Always current
Update the linked portfolio without printing or re-sending a new resume.
Sense the interest
A scan after you apply is a quiet hint that someone is actually reviewing you.

FAQ
Where should the code go on a resume?
Near your contact details in the header, or in the footer, kept small but with enough quiet space to scan cleanly.
Can I link to different things for different jobs?
Yes. Repoint the code to the most relevant portfolio piece for each application without reprinting.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
