QR Codes on Flyers
Flyers grab attention for a few seconds, so the goal is to convert that glance into action before it's tossed aside. A QR code lets readers jump straight to your event page, offer, or signup form without copying a long URL. It's the fastest way to close the gap between a printed flyer and the next step online.

- Turns a quick glance into an instant tap-through to your page or offer
- Removes the friction of typing long or hard-to-remember URLs
- Drives signups, RSVPs, and sales while interest is still fresh
- Static codes have no scan limits, so a viral flyer stack never gets capped
- Customize colors and add a logo so the code fits your flyer's design
- Made fully in your browser, so nothing about your campaign is uploaded
What to link your QR code to
- An event landing page with date, time, and directions
- A discount or coupon page that rewards people for scanning
- A signup or mailing list form to capture interested readers
- A menu, product catalog, or service list
- A location pin so people can navigate straight to your venue
- A calendar event so readers can add your date to their phone in one tap
Tips for QR codes on flyers
- Pair the code with a clear call to action like 'Scan for tickets'
- Make it at least 2.5-3 cm so it scans from normal reading distance
- Place it in a clean area with a quiet margin, not over busy artwork
- Keep high contrast and avoid printing the code over photos
- Export SVG for sharp print quality and run the Debug tool before printing
Frequently asked questions
Where should the QR code go on a flyer?
Put it near your call to action, often the bottom corner or center, in a clean area with a blank margin around it so cameras can read it easily.
Do I need an account or to pay to add a QR code?
No. The generator is completely free with no signup, and everything is created in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Can I track how many people scan my flyer?
This tool makes static codes and does not include scan tracking or analytics. The upside is that the codes never expire and have no scan limits.
Free, private and made entirely in your browser — no signup, nothing uploaded.
