# Save a template

> Save a QR code design (colors, logo and frame) as a reusable template for your workspace.

A template stores a QR code design so you can reuse it on new codes in one click. It keeps your codes on brand without redoing the design each time.

## Before you start

* You need the **Admin** or **Editor** role. Viewers can see templates but can't create them. See [Roles and permissions](/members/roles-and-permissions).
* Templates belong to the workspace, so every member sees and can use the templates you save.

### What a template saves

| Saved | Not saved |
| - | - |
| Colors, dot and corner styles | QR code type (Website, vCard, PDF…) |
| Frame and frame text | Content (URL, files, contact details…) |
| Logo | QR code name |
| Branded designs and AI designs | Password, schedule and other access rules |

## Create a template from the Templates page

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open QR Templates">
    Click **QR Templates** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new template">
    Click **New template**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the template">
    Type a name in the **My template** field, for example "Spring campaign". Names can be up to 40 characters.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Design the code">
    Pick a tab: **Custom designs**, **Branded designs** or **AI designs**, and set up the design. The preview updates as you go.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Create template**. You see "Template created", and the template appears on the **QR Templates** page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  New to the design options? See [Colors](/design/colors), [Logo](/design/logo), [Frames](/design/frames), [Branded designs](/design/branded-qr) and [AI designs](/design/ai-qr).
</Tip>

## Save a template while creating a QR code

You can save the design of a code you're building or editing.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the design step">
    In the QR code builder, go to the **Customize & Download** step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tick Save as template">
    Under the preview, select **Save as template**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the QR code">
    Click **Create QR** (or **Save changes** when editing). GetQR saves the code and creates the template.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The new template takes the QR code's name. Rename it later on the **QR Templates** page, see [Manage templates](/templates/manage-templates).

<Note>
  You can also save the design of a bulk batch as a template. See [Create QR codes from a CSV](/bulk/create-from-csv).
</Note>

## Use cases

* **Brand kit.** Save one design with your logo and brand colors, then use it for every new code.
* **Campaigns.** Keep a separate template per campaign or season so all its codes match.
* **Team consistency.** Editors use the shared templates instead of designing codes themselves.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I don't see New template or Save as template">
    Your role is Viewer. Viewers can view templates but can't create or edit them. Ask a workspace Admin to change your role.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="&#x22;Template name is required&#x22;">
    The name field is empty. Type a name, then click **Create template** again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="&#x22;Template name must be at most 40 characters&#x22;">
    Shorten the name to 40 characters or fewer. The counter under the field shows how many you've used.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Save as template is missing on the Branded designs or AI designs tab">
    The checkbox shows only once there is a design to save. Upload a logo on **Branded designs**, or generate images on **AI designs**, then look again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="&#x22;Failed to save template&#x22;">
    The template wasn't saved. Check your connection and try again. If it keeps failing, contact [help@getqr.com](mailto:help@getqr.com).
