Create your first code

Sign up, create a dynamic code and download it for print.

1. Sign up

  1. Sign up with your email and a password, or with Google.
  2. Verify your email address. You need a verified email address before you can create dynamic codes.

We create a workspace called "My Workspace" for you when you sign up. A workspace holds your codes, bio pages, leads and team, and its plan sets your limits. You can rename it under Settings → Workspace.

2. Create the code

  1. In the sidebar, open QR codes and click New code.
  2. Under What should it open?, pick a type, for example Website.
  3. Under Details, enter the content. For a Website code, enter the Link, including https://. The preview fills in as you type.
  4. Optionally give the code a Name you'll recognise, such as "Spring menu flyer". If you leave it empty, we name it for you.
  5. At the bottom, choose Dynamic so you can change the destination later and see scans. See Static vs dynamic codes.
  6. Click Create code.

The code opens on its own page. Its link is shown under the name. Click the link to copy it.

3. Design and download

  1. In the Design card, set the colours, dots, corners, a logo or a frame. The preview updates as you go.
  2. If a warning shows under the preview, fix it before you print.
  3. Click Save design to keep the design on the code.
  4. Set the Print width in centimetres and click PNG, SVG or PDF.

See Design and export for print tips.

4. Test it

Scan the printed or on-screen code with your phone camera. The scan shows up in Analytics.

On the Free plan, scans are recorded but hidden until you upgrade. See History and plans.
