Create, edit and download a QR code

How to use it

Create a first URL QR

1. Open QR Codes at /portal/qr-codes and open the create screen at /portal/qr-codes/create.
2. Choose the intended QR type. For a first website campaign, choose the URL-based dynamic type. Enter a recognizable campaign name if the create form offers it.
3. Select Continue. Creation can open the type-content screen first, or the QR design screen depending on the selected type and available feature.
4. Fill the real destination/content. For a Bio Links type, select an existing page rather than leaving the page selection empty.
5. On QR design, set QR name, Destination URL and Status. Use Draft while preparing or Active when it should be available, then select Save QR.

Design and export

1. Open the campaign’s edit/design page. Select a style/template and adjust the QR dots and Background with enough visual contrast.
2. If adding a logo, use the offered image control or Brand Kit. Keep the logo small enough that the actual exported code still scans.
3. Choose ECC and Output px from the offered values. Select Save QR to retain the design settings.
4. Use PNG for a raster image or SVG for a vector file. Print opens the available print flow.
5. Scan the downloaded/printed output at its intended size. Check the destination on a second device before producing a batch of printed material.

Change the destination of an existing campaign

1. Find the exact campaign by name in /portal/qr-codes and choose Edit.
2. Change Destination URL, or choose Edit content when the selected type uses a structured content page.
3. Save in the screen you changed: Save content for type content or Save QR for design/destination settings.
4. For a dynamic code, scan an already-exported copy and confirm the new destination. For a static payload, export and replace the image because its encoded content is fixed.

Fields and examples

Check your finished result

• Reopen the campaign and check destination, status and style.
• Test a scan of the actual downloaded file, not just the on-screen preview.
