How big should a QR code be on a flyer?

At least 2 x 2 cm on a handout, larger on a poster. Leave a blank margin around it and use strong contrast.

What if the date or link changes after printing?

With a plain static code, every printed flyer points at the old link. With an editable code you change the destination in your dashboard and the flyers follow.

Can I use a free code on a flyer?

Yes, if the link will not change. A free static code has the link built into the pattern.

Why would I pay for a flyer code?

For flyers that stay up while the details change. You pay $49 once per code, there is no renewal, and you can repoint it at any time.

Does the code expire?

No. You pay once per code and there is nothing to renew. We never deactivate a paid code for non-payment or at our discretion — only for abuse, illegal content, or when the law requires it.

Can I see how many people scan it?

Yes. The dashboard shows scans over time with device and location, so you can compare where you put the flyers.

What if it does not suit me?

Your first code ($49) has a 30-day money-back guarantee if it has not been put into active use. Later purchases are final, so test one code on a real flyer first.

Flyer QR Code

A flyer QR code sends people from paper to a page: a sign-up form, a menu, a booking page or an event page. Flyers stay pinned up long after the details change. The code only stores a link, so a plain code keeps opening the old page. A code you can repoint lets the flyers already on the wall point to the new one.

Which one do you need

A link that will stay as it is: a free static code does the job.
Dates, forms or offers that will change after printing: $49 once per code, no renewal.

How to add a QR code to a flyer

1
Pick one thing the flyer asks for
A flyer with one action converts better than one with three. Choose the page you want people to land on: a sign-up form, a booking page, a menu or an event page.
2
Create a code that points to it
Make a Website URL code and paste the page link as the destination. Use the final address, not a draft link.
3
Place it on the flyer
Download the code as SVG or PNG and place it in Canva, Word or your design tool. Keep it at least 2 x 2 cm, with strong contrast and a blank margin, away from the trimmed edge. Add words beside it, such as "Scan to sign up".
4
Print a proof, then repoint when things change
Scan the proof with two phones. When the date, form or offer changes, edit the destination and the flyers already out there follow.

Where a flyer code earns its place

Paper stays up for weeks while the details behind it move. Keeping the code flexible means the flyer does not go out of date when the page does.

Classes and workshops

Dates and sign-up forms change from term to term. Flyers already posted keep working when you update the link.

Events and fundraisers

Point the flyer at tickets before the event and at a thank-you or photos page afterwards.

Shops and cafes

Seasonal offers and menus change. The window flyer can follow without a reprint.

Notice boards and community groups

A flyer on a noticeboard can stay up for months. Repoint it to the current meeting or sign-up page.

Check the page before you print

Open the link on a phone, signed out, and go through it as a visitor would. A page that is slow, not made for phones or behind a sign-in loses people at the last step. Then scan the printed proof from the distance people will read the flyer at.

Make it easy to scan

Keep the code at least 2 x 2 cm on a handout and larger on a poster read from further away. Use dark on light, leave a blank margin, and keep it clear of folds and trimmed edges.

Flyer QR code questions

Create a Website URL code for your page, download it as SVG or PNG, and place it in your flyer design in Canva, Word or similar. Print a proof and scan it before the full run.
