Create a QR code

A QR code always points at one of your short links. That means you can change the link's destination later without reprinting the code, and every scan is counted.

Create a QR code

1. Open QR Codes and choose New QR code.
2. Choose what it should link to:
   • Use an existing link: click one of your links in the list, or
   • Create a new link: type a destination URL and choose Continue. A new link is created for you.
3. In the designer, check the Name. It starts as the link's title (or its short ending) and you can change it.
4. Adjust the design if you like. See Design and export QR codes.
5. Choose Save QR code.

You'll return to the QR Codes list, where each code shows its name, its scan count, and buttons to view stats, edit, pause and delete.

Important: Save first, then download. To get the image, open the QR Codes list, choose the code's Edit button, and download from there. A code downloaded before it has been saved isn't tagged as a QR code, so its scans would be counted as ordinary link clicks instead of QR scans.

Starting from a link

You can also open the designer for a specific link by choosing it from the list in step 2. If your team has no links yet, you'll only see the Create a new link option.

Things to know

• Editing a QR code doesn't change what it points to, so codes you've already printed keep working after you tweak the colours or name.
• Pausing a QR code stops it working, and so does deleting it. Anyone scanning a paused or deleted code sees "This link isn't available", even if the link itself is still active. See Edit, pause and delete links.
• Deleting a link deletes its QR codes.
• Each plan has a monthly limit on new QR codes. See Hitting a plan limit.
• You need the Create permission. See Roles and permissions.
