Add a QR code to a flyer or poster

Step by step

1. 1

   Export your flyer as a high-resolution PNG or JPG (300 DPI if it will be printed).

2. 2

   Generate a QR code for your event, sign-up, or landing page.

3. 3

   Place it near your call to action — “Scan to get tickets” — and size it for the viewing distance.

4. 4

   Export as PNG for the highest quality, or PDF to send straight to a printer.

Tips for best results

• The 10:1 rule

  A QR code scans reliably from about ten times its own width. A poster viewed from 2 meters away needs a code at least 20 cm wide. Use our QR code size calculator to check.

• Tell people why to scan

  A code with a short label (“Scan for the full lineup”) gets far more scans than a code on its own.

• Keep the source resolution

  Leave the output size on Original so the printed file keeps its full resolution.

Other ways to use QR Brand

• Add a QR code to any imageDrop in a photo, poster, or design, type your link, and drag the QR code exactly where you want it. Everything happens on your device — your image is never uploaded to a server.
• Add a QR code to many images at onceHave a folder of product photos, event slides, or social posts? Load them all, position the QR code once, and export every image in one click. Processing runs locally, so even large batches stay private.
• Put a QR code on your Instagram postsInstagram doesn't allow clickable links in posts, but a QR code on the image gives people on another screen a way to reach you. Square and Stories sizes are preset so the result is ready to post.
• Create a QR code for your restaurant menuLink guests to your online menu, ordering page, or reviews. Unlike many “free” QR menu services, the codes made here are static — they don't depend on a subscription and won't stop working next year.
• Add a QR code to your business cardA QR code turns a paper card into a one-tap contact save or a link to your portfolio. Upload your card design, place the code, and export a print-ready file.
• Add a QR code to your wedding invitationSend guests straight to your RSVP form, registry, or wedding website. Choose a soft color and rounded dot style so the code looks like part of the design rather than an afterthought.
• Make a QR code with your logoUpload your logo, choose a dot style and brand colors, and QR Brand builds a code with the logo cut cleanly into the middle. Error correction is switched to the highest level automatically so the code still scans.
• Add a QR code to YouTube thumbnails and video framesMore and more people watch YouTube on TVs, where links in the description are out of reach. A QR code on an end-screen frame or slide lets them reach your link from their phone.
• Add a QR code to product labels and packagingLink customers to setup guides, ingredient details, warranty registration, or a reorder page. Batch mode lets you stamp the same code across every label variant at once.
