Applying a template copies its design (colors, frame and logo) onto a QR code. The code’s type and content stay as they are.

​
Before you start

  • You need the Admin or Editor role. Viewers can’t apply templates.
  • Your workspace needs at least one template. See Save a template.

​
Start a new QR code from a template

1

Open QR Templates

Click QR Templates in the sidebar.
2

Open the template menu

Click the three-dot menu on the template card.
3

Create the QR code

Click New QR from template. The QR code builder opens with the template’s design already set.
4

Add the content

Choose the QR code type and fill in the content, as for any new code. See Create your first QR code.
5

Save

On the Customize & Download step, check the preview and click Create QR.

​
Apply a template in the QR code builder

Use this when you’re already building a code, or to restyle an existing one.
1

Open the design step

For a new code, go to the Customize & Download step. For an existing code, open its menu on My QR Codes and click Customize QR.
2

Open My templates

Click the My templates tab above the design options.
3

Pick a template

Click a template. You see “Template applied” and the preview updates.
4

Adjust if needed

To tweak the design, switch back to Custom designs and make changes. The template itself stays unchanged.
5

Save

Click Create QR for a new code, or Save changes for an existing one.
Changing the design of an existing code doesn’t change where it points. Copies you already printed keep scanning, but they still show the old design.

​
Apply a template to a bulk batch

In Create Bulk, the Customize step has the same My templates tab. The template you pick is applied to every QR code in the batch. See Create QR codes from a CSV.

​
Use cases

  • Fast on-brand codes. Start every new code from your brand template.
  • Rebrand. Restyle existing codes with a new template without reprinting the links.
  • Event batches. Apply one template to a whole bulk batch of event or table codes.

​
Common issues

Your workspace has no templates yet. Create one first, see Save a template.
Your role is Viewer. Viewers can view templates but can’t apply, edit or delete them.
This is expected. Each QR code keeps its own copy of the design. To update a code, apply the template to it again and click Save changes.
These designs are re-rendered for each QR code’s own link, so applying one can take a few seconds. Wait until the preview updates before you save.
