- Choose Create QR Or use the Create button at the top right of the dashboard.
- Pick dynamic or static Dynamic if it points at a web address and you want to be able to change it or count scans. See the difference.
- Choose the type A website, a vCard, WiFi details, an email, an SMS, a phone number, a location, an event, plain text, a file, an app store link or a social profile.
- Fill in the details What you enter depends on the type — a web address for a link, a network name and password for WiFi, a name and number for a vCard.
- Name it For your own dashboard, so you can tell your codes apart later. "Table tent Q4" beats "QR 7".
- Design it, then save Colours, shape and a logo if you want one. Save, and it appears in your list ready to download.
Getting it out
Download the finished code from its entry in your list. Use the highest resolution available for anything going to print — a code scaled up from a small image loses the crisp edges scanners rely on.
Scan it yourself before it goes anywhereWith a different phone from the one you built it on, at the size it will actually be printed. A code that works on screen at full size can fail at business-card size.
Next: customising the design and printing so it scans.
