How to Create a Dynamic QR Code in 3 Steps

## The Quick-Start Guide to Professional QR Codes Creating a QR code is simple, but creating a *high-performing* QR code requires a few strategic steps. This guide will ensure your first code is ready for professional deployment. ### Step 1: Destination & Content Strategy Before you generate, decide on your goal. Are you driving traffic to a website, a PDF menu, or a social media profile? 1. Navigate to the **Generator** page (`/generate`). 2. Select your **QR Type** (e.g., URL, vCard, PDF). 3. Enter your **Destination URL**. > **Pro Tip:** If you are running a marketing campaign, append UTM parameters to your URL (e.g., `?utm_source=brochure&utm_campaign=summer_promo`) to track conversions in Google Analytics along with our internal scan tracking. ### Step 2: Visual Customization with AI A branded QR code can receive up to **40% more scans** than a documented black-and-white code. 1. **Upload Logo**: Center your brand icon. Our system ensures it doesn't block the data "eyes". 2. **Color Harmony**: Choose colors that contrast well. Always keep the foreground darker than the background (e.g., Dark Blue on White). 3. **Call-to-Action (CTA)**: Use the "Frame" option to add a clear instruction like "Scan for Menu" or "Get Discount". ### Step 3: Test & Deploy Never print a code without testing. 1. Scan with an **iPhone Camera**. 2. Scan with an **Android Camera** (or Google Lens). 3. Verify the load speed of your landing page. 4. Download in **SVG (Vector)** for large format print (posters, billboards) or **PNG** for digital use. --- ### Understanding "Dynamic" Status Your new code is **Dynamic**. This means you can: - Change the destination link *after* printing. - Track every scan in real-time. - Set up password protection if needed.
