Create a QR code, step by step

Making a code takes about a minute. You can try every type and every design option before you sign up or pay. An account and a plan only come in when you download.

Make your code

1. 1Go to Create and pick what the code should open: a website, a PDF, a business card, WiFi, a list of links and more.
2. 2Add the content. Paste a link, upload a file or fill in the form. The preview on the right (below on a phone) updates as you type.
3. 3Give the code a name you will recognize later, like "Spring menu, front window". Only you see it.
4. 4Open the design step. Pick colors, a dot shape, corner styles, a frame with a call to action and, if you like, your logo.
5. 5Press Download and choose a file format and size.

The "Last step" box

The first time you download, a box asks for your email address (or Continue with Google, where it is shown). That creates your account and saves the code to it, so you can edit it later.

If the email already has an account with codes in it, we send you a sign-in link instead. Open it on the same device and your new code is added to that account.

Checkout and your download

1. 1Pick a plan. Most people start with the 7-day trial for $1.00. The renewal price and terms are shown next to the pay button.
2. 2Tick the box to agree to the terms and pay.
3. 3Your file downloads, and the code shows up in your dashboard.

After that

• Download the same code again any time, in any format, from its page in the dashboard.
• Change what a dynamic code opens without reprinting it. See Change where a code points after printing.
• See how often it is scanned in scan statistics.
