QR Codes: Generating and Downloading

Every TinyX short link has a QR code generated automatically. You can download it and use it anywhere — print, signage, presentations, packaging, wherever.

Generating a QR Code

You don't need to do anything special — TinyX creates a QR code for every link at the moment you create it.

To access it:

1. Go to Links in your dashboard
2. Find the link you want a QR code for
3. Click the QR icon on the link row, or open the link detail and look for the QR code section

The QR code is displayed immediately.

Downloading the QR Code

Click Download QR to save the QR code as an SVG or PNG file. SVG is a vector format — it scales to any size without losing quality, making it perfect for print.

Where to Use QR Codes

Print materials — business cards, flyers, brochures, menus. QR codes let you put a clickable link on physical media.

Event signage — conference stands, pop-up displays, venue signs. Attendees can scan instead of typing a URL.

Packaging — product boxes, labels, tags. Link to instructions, warranty registration, or a landing page.

Presentations — drop the QR code on your final slide so the audience can follow the link without writing it down.

Email signatures — some email clients render images, so a QR code in your signature can work as a quick scan-to-visit.

Tips

Test before you print. Always scan the QR code yourself using a phone camera before committing to a print run. Verify it goes to the right place.

Keep the destination live. If your short link has an expiry, make sure it's still active while the QR code is in circulation. An expired link means an unusable QR code.

Size matters. QR codes need to be at least ~2.5cm × 2.5cm to scan reliably on most phones. Bigger is better for signage viewed from a distance.

High contrast. Print QR codes in black on white (or very close to it). Stylised or low-contrast QR codes often fail to scan.
