You design a QR code in the last step of the builder, Customize & Download. Pick one of three design styles, shape the look, and you can come back to change the design at any time.

Before you start

Open the design step

1

Start a QR code

Click Create QR in the sidebar, then complete Choose QR type and Create content.
2

Go to the design step

Click Next. The builder opens Customize & Download on the Custom designs tab.
3

Choose a design style

Click Custom designs, Branded designs or AI designs. The preview updates as you change settings.
4

Save the QR code

Click Create QR. To download it, see Formats and resolution.

The three design styles

A fourth tab, My templates, applies a design you saved earlier. It is greyed out until you save your first template. See Save a template.
Branded and AI designs are images, so they download as JPG or PNG at 1024 px, or as PDF. SVG, EPS and larger sizes are only available for Custom designs. See Formats and resolution.

Because GetQR QR codes point to a short link, you can restyle a code, or change where it leads, without breaking codes you already printed.
1

Find the QR code

Open your dashboard and find the QR code in the list.
2

Open the design step

Open the QR code’s actions and click Customize QR.
3

Save your changes

Change the design, then click Save changes.
A new design changes how the code looks, not where it points. Codes you already printed keep the old look. Reprint them if the new look matters.

Common issues

Viewers can’t edit QR codes. Ask an Admin to change your role. See Roles and permissions.
You haven’t saved a template yet. Style a QR code, then save it as a template. See Save a template.
Branded and AI designs are images. Download them as JPG or PNG at 1024 px, or as PDF. If you need a vector file, use Custom designs.
