You've made a Spryly account. Nice! Now let's make the card people will actually save. It takes about five minutes, and you can do all of it in the app or at spryly.app.
If you used the welcome wizard, you already have a card with your name on it. This guide picks up from there. If you don't have a card yet, start at step 1.
1. Start a card
On your dashboard, tap the + button and choose Contact / Social Card. Give it your first and last name and you'll have a card in a few seconds.
Already have one? Open the card's menu and choose Edit. Everything below happens in the editor, which has a row of sections across the top: Profile, Design, Photos, Addresses, Phone, Email, Social, Web and vCard.
2. Say who you are (Profile)
- Title and Organization: what you do and where. "Photographer, Quinn Studio" tells someone far more than a name alone.
- Body: a line or two about you or your work. It supports Markdown, so you can use bold, italics and links. If your card came from the welcome wizard, this box holds a short note about editing; replace it with your own words.
- Description: a private label so you can tell your cards apart, like "Work card". Visitors don't see it.
3. Add a photo (Photos)
Add a Profile image. A face is the single biggest thing that makes a card feel real and get saved. You can take a photo or pick one, then crop it to the circle.
You can also set a Background image behind your card, or keep the one we picked.
4. Make it easy to reach you (Phone, Email, Addresses)
Add the ways you want people to contact you. Each phone number, email address and address gets a type (mobile, work, home and so on), and you can add more than one.
When someone views your card they can call, text or email you in one tap, or save your contact straight into their phone's address book, photo and all.
5. Add your links (Social and Web)
Social has more than two dozen networks (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub and more). Pick one and type your account name. Have a Linktree? Enter it and Spryly will bring your links in for you.
Web is for everything else: your website, portfolio, booking page or shop.
6. Pick a design (Design)
Tap Design and you'll see your card in each style, with your own photo and details: Aurora, Midnight, Horizon, Editorial, Sunset Split, or the original Classic. Tap one to preview it. Switching designs never changes your information, so try them all. (More about the designs.)
7. Save and share
Tap Save. That's it: your card is live.
To share it, open the card's menu and choose QR code to show a code someone can scan with their phone's camera, or Share to send the link by text, email or any app. You can also Add to Wallet to keep your QR code in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, ready on your lock screen.
Anyone can open your card. They don't need the Spryly app or an account.
Tips for a card people keep
- Fill in what matters, skip the rest. Designs leave out anything that's empty, so a card with a photo, a title, one phone number and one link still looks finished.
- Update it once, and everyone sees it. Changed jobs or numbers? Edit your card and the same link and QR code show the new details. Nothing to reprint.
- Make a second card for a different side of you. A work card and a personal card, or one for a side business. Tap + on the dashboard again.
