Create QR codes

Article author

Generate QR codes for your pages, emails, and print projects! Use QR codes to open a page in a browser, open an email message or SMS message, or dial a number. 
 

Basics

Look for the QR Code block in the Single Blocks section of the editor. Drag it into your design and enter a destination URL. You’ll see the QR code image update as you type. You can even adjust the colors. Best of all, your QR code won’t expire or require an external decoding service.

QR code URLs cannot be tracked or contain personalization. Use one static destination URL. Shorter URLs generally scan more reliably than long URLs. Supported: https:// http:// mailto: sms: tel:

The image is not saved to the media folder until the email/page/block is saved, but you can download it for use in print or digital files at any time.

 
 

Create a QR code in email or page editor

  1. Drag a QR Code block into your email or page

  2. Click the QR Code placeholder to open the left panel

  3. Enter a destination URL or use our link tools
  4. Make additional adjustments, if needed:
     

    • Make QR code clickable 
      This toggle adds a link around the image, so it can be clicked in an email or page, instead of requiring a mobile device

    • Enter alt text and/or caption
