Create QR codes

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, they don’t expire or require any 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 server until the email/page/block is saved, but you can download it for use in digital and print files at any time.

 
 

Create a QR code in the 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
       

Styling options

Adjustments that will appear on screen and in the downloadable image

  • QR code foreground and background color. Keep high contrast between foreground and background colors for best scanner compatibility. We will show a message if your colors are not considered accessible.

  • Padding within the QR code

  • Image width. Default size is 1200x1200.

Adjustments in the Styles tab that will only appear in the email or page

  • Alignment of QR code inside container

  • Maximum width of block

  • Block Container style, Caption style, Image and Alt Text style
