Download the QR code

Add your colours and logo, pick a format and size, and export one file per placement.

The QR code holds the Smart Link's address, so you can change the destination later without reprinting it. Design it once, then download one file per placement.

Design and download

  1. On the Smart Link's details page, select Download QR.

    Smart Link details with the Download QR button highlighted

  2. Under Colors, set the Foreground and Background.

    Colors with a dark green Foreground and a white Background, highlighted

    Keep a dark code on a light background: light-on-dark codes fail on many phones.

  3. (Optional) Under Custom Icon, select browse and choose your logo, a PNG or JPEG.

    Custom Icon with the Lindenhall leaf logo added, highlighted

    The logo sits in the middle of the code. A small, simple square logo scans best.

  4. (Optional) Under Variants, tick the variants you need, or choose Select All.

    Variants with the three posters ticked, highlighted

  5. (Optional) Tick Show Smartlink label to print the Smart Link's title under each code.

    Show Smartlink label ticked, highlighted

    A variant's code shows its name too, so the printer can't mix them up.

  6. Choose the File Format: PNG for screens and office printers, SVG for professional print.

    File Format set to PNG, highlighted

  7. For a PNG, choose the QR Code Size, from 512 to 4000 pixels.

    QR Code Size set to 1000px - Medium, highlighted

  8. Select Download QR Code (PNG). With variants ticked, it reads Download 4 QR Codes (PNG), for example.

With variants ticked, you get a ZIP file: the main code plus one file per variant, each named after the Smart Link and the variant.
