Create QR Code in 3 Steps

step 1

Choose the type

Before anything else, think about what you want your QR code to do. Do you need to send someone to your website? Pick the purpose and move ahead.

step 2

Generate QR code

Type in the information you want people to see when they scan your code. It could be a link, your number, or even a small note - whatever fits your goal.

step 3

Customize & download

Plain black-and-white is fine - but if you want it to reflect your brand or stand out a bit, go ahead and add some color or a frame.

I’m new to QR Codes. What should I know?

Glad you asked! Here’s a few basics to get you started.

QR Code is a two-dimensional version of the barcode, typically made up of black and white pixel patterns. Denso Wave, a Japanese subsidiary of the Toyota supplier Denso, developed them for marking components in order to accelerate logistics processes for their automobile production. Now, it has found its way into mobile marketing with the widespread adoption of smartphones. "QR" stands for "Quick Response", which refers to the instant access to the information hidden in the Code.
