Managing QR codes

This guide covers the design options for a QR code, exporting files for print, exporting many codes at once as a ZIP file, and deleting codes.

Find your codes

Open QR codes in the sidebar. Use Search to match the title, destination or code, filter by Tag and Created, and switch the Layout between Grid and List. Select a code to open its overview, where the Overview, Design, Scans and Details tabs live.

Design options

Open the Design tab. The preview updates as you change options and notes when it includes unsaved changes. Select Save design to apply them.

Colours: pick a preset or set the Code and Background colours. Under Corners, keep the code colour or choose a separate corner colour.
Pattern: choose the shape of the Dots, Corner squares and Corner dots. Shapes change the look only; the link inside stays the same.
Error correction: choose a Level. Higher levels let a code survive scuffs and a logo, at the cost of a denser pattern.
Logo: upload an image to draw in the middle of the code, set the Logo size, and optionally Hide the pattern behind the logo. Keep the logo at 50% of the error correction or less. Logos depend on your plan.
Shape and caption: choose a square or circular Shape, a Frame (none, outline or solid) and an optional Caption of up to 64 characters. Frames and captions stay outside the clear space around the code, and both appear in downloads.

The Scan check panel rates the contrast between code and background and warns about inverted colours, a transparent background and logo size. Treat its warnings as a prompt to test with real phones before printing.

Export for print

On the code's overview, under Download, select Export for print.
Choose a Format (SVG, PNG or PDF) and a Size.
Read the print guidance on the page: four quiet modules around the code, error correction Q (H with a logo), at least 3:1 contrast, and the recommended minimum print size at 300 dpi.
Select Prepare download, then Download file.

Downloads expire 24 hours after you start the export. For screen use, JPEG for screens on the overview gives you a JPEG straight away.

Export several codes as a ZIP

On the QR codes list, tick the codes you want, or use Select this page. Your selection stays as you change pages and filters.
Select Export selected.
Review the selection. Filters on this page only change the list you see; the ZIP includes every selected code.
Choose a Format and Size, then select Create ZIP.
When the export is ready, select Download ZIP.

The export page shows how many codes fit in one ZIP file. You can leave the page while the export runs; it continues in the background.

Edit details and destination

The Details tab holds the Destination URL, Title and Tags. Changing the destination doesn't change the printed pattern; printed copies follow the new destination from the next scan. Select Save details to apply.

Scans

The overview summarises the last 30 days: scans, visitors, all-time scans and the date of the last scan. The Scans tab opens the full analytics for the code. Scans also appear in the workspace Analytics page, separate from link clicks. See Understanding analytics.

Delete QR codes

Select Delete QR code on the overview, or select codes in the list and choose Delete selected. The confirmation page lists what happens:

the code stops scanning right away, because its short link is deleted with it;
links the code was attached to keep working and only lose their QR code;
scan history is archived and no longer shown.

Deleting a QR code can't be undone, and printed copies can't be brought back. Members can delete only the codes they created.
