Can I upload my PDF resume here?

No — we don’t host files. Upload your CV to Google Drive or Dropbox first, set sharing to "anyone with the link can view," and paste that URL here. If you have a LinkedIn profile, that usually makes the best destination since it’s mobile-optimised and always up to date.

What's the best link to use?

LinkedIn profile for most people — it’s mobile-friendly, always accessible, and recruiters know how to navigate it. A personal portfolio site works well if you’re in a visual or technical field. A hosted PDF is fine for roles where a traditional CV format matters, but check that it looks good on a phone screen first.

Can I update my resume after printing the QR code?

If you linked to LinkedIn or a personal website, yes — update the content any time and the code keeps pointing to the same place. If you linked to a specific PDF, replace the file on Drive at the same URL and it updates automatically. Only generate a new code if the URL itself changes.

Will the QR code expire?

Never. Static code with no expiry. As long as your linked profile or document is accessible, the code works.

Where should I put it on my CV?

Top right or bottom right of the first page. Leave a small white border around it so it scans cleanly. Some people add a small label: "Scan for full profile" or just leave it unlabelled — both work fine.

Does the recruiter need a special app?

No. Standard phone camera, any modern device.

Is my personal information stored by QR Code Zebra?

No. Local generation only. Your name, job title, and URL never reach our servers.

Best format for printing?

SVG. It stays sharp at any size — from a tiny corner of an A4 page to a business card. A blurry code creates a bad first impression before the recruiter has even scanned it.
