Easy to use, dynamic and customizable QR codes for your marketing campaigns. Analyze statistics and optimize your marketing strategy and increase engagement.
Create Your QR Code Contact sales
See real examples: QR codes for restaurants and QR codes for business cards. Not sure which type you need? Read dynamic vs. static QR codes.
Promote websites, display contact info, or link to reviews using QR codes on flyers, receipts, and storefronts.
Display menus, collect feedback, or accept orders via QR codes on tables, takeaway bags, and receipts. See our step-by-step guide to QR code menus.
Use QR codes for ticketing, attendee check-ins, or event programs—all editable through dynamic QR codes.
Link to your portfolio, LinkedIn, or contact form with just a scan—great for resumes, business cards, and social media.
A QR code isn't just a black-and-white square — it's a two-dimensional barcode that packs far more data into the same space than a traditional barcode ever could, which is exactly what lets it encode a full URL, a contact card, or a WiFi password instead of just a short number.
Every code you create here can hold a URL, plain text, an email draft, an SMS, a phone number, a WiFi network, a full contact card, or an event invite — the type just determines what a phone offers to do the instant it finishes scanning.
A static QR code code has its destination baked into the pattern forever. A dynamic one — what you get by default here — points to a redirect you can change anytime, and every scan gets tracked.
Every QR code has redundancy built in, so it still scans even if it's dirty, damaged, or partly covered. Adding a logo automatically raises that error correction level behind the scenes, so nothing looks different but the code stays reliable.
QR Codes are everywhere and they are not going away. They are a great asset to your company because you can easily capture users and convert them, whether you're weighing QR codes against URL shorteners for a specific campaign or just want QR codes customized to match your company, brand, or product.
See exactly when, where, and on what device each code gets scanned, then redirect it to a new destination anytime — without touching the printed code.
Reshape the eyes and the matrix dots instead of using the default square pattern — a code that visually matches your brand gets scanned more than a generic-looking one.
Add your own logo and wrap the code in a frame with a short call-to-action label like "Scan Me" — a labeled, framed code gets picked up faster by someone glancing at it from a few feet away.
Match your brand's exact colors instead of plain black and white — just keep the foreground noticeably darker than the background so the contrast doesn't hurt how reliably it scans.
The beautify of QR codes is that almost any type of data can be encoded in them. Most types of data can be tracked very easily so you will know exactly when and from where a person scanned your QR code.
Start Tracking Scans
Before distributing, scan your QR code with multiple devices to ensure it works as expected, especially when printed on physical materials.
Ensure your QR code is at least 2cm x 2cm in size. Tiny or overly complex designs can make scanning unreliable.
Always use a dark foreground on a light background. Avoid low-contrast colors or elaborate gradients that reduce scan accuracy.
Include a label like “Scan me” to encourage engagement. A clear CTA increases scan rates and clarifies intent for users.
A logo covers part of the pattern, so bump the error correction level up first — otherwise the covered portion may not be recoverable and the code can fail to scan.
Scan the final design with a couple of different phones and camera apps before printing at volume — what scans instantly on one device can be slow or fail entirely on another.
A QR code, which stands for "Quick Response code," is a two-dimensional barcode that can store various types of information, such as text, URLs, contact information, or other data. QR codes are designed to be quickly scanned and decoded using a smartphone camera or a dedicated QR code reader. They are widely used for a variety of purposes, including product labeling, marketing, contactless payments, ticketing, and more. When scanned, a QR code can trigger actions such as opening a website, displaying contact details, or initiating a specific function on a mobile device. See our full guide to QR codes for more detail.
There is no limit by default and the created QR code will work forever. But if you want to limit the number of times a QR code can be scanned, you can in our Dashboard.
Yes. You can change their colors, and even add your logo to cater the QR code to your brand and make it unique.
A static QR code has its destination baked permanently into the pattern — to change it, you need a new code. A dynamic QR code, which is what you get by default on Shorter.gg, points to a short link you can redirect anytime, and every scan is tracked.
Yes, as long as it's a dynamic QR code. Because the code encodes a short link rather than the destination itself, you can redirect it to a new page anytime from your dashboard — the printed code never needs to change.
You can download your QR code as an SVG (best for print, since it scales to any size without losing quality), a PNG, or a WEBP file.
Not if it's done correctly. Adding a logo covers part of the code's pattern, so we automatically raise the error correction level when a logo is added, which builds in enough redundancy for the code to still scan reliably.
At least 2cm x 2cm (about an inch) for anything scanned up close, like a business card or table tent. For anything scanned from a distance — a poster, a vehicle decal, a banner — size it up considerably and test the actual printed piece before a full run.
You are only one step from getting better results and taking control of your shortlinks, qr codes and link in bio profiles. Managing links is even easier using the features available in the dashboard after logging in.
