Adding and Customizing a QR Code

Generate an interactive QR code that links to a custom URL—viewers can scan it with their smart device to be instantly redirected to the link you’ve provided.

When you're ready, go to the Elements section and click on the QR Code option to add it to your design canvas. You can then edit the QR code’s color and customize it to match your design.

Enter the web address (URL) into the URL text field by typing or pasting it in, then click Generate QR Code. The Preview will display the QR code based on the entered web address.

Customize QR Code Color

Resize or reposition the QR code on the canvas as needed.

To change its color, select the QR code on the canvas. Then, click the color tiles in the top toolbar to open the Color Tool. From there, you can choose colors from your Project or Brand Kit, or use the color picker to create a custom look.

Edit QR Code Link

Select the QR code on the canvas, then click the URL Tool in the top toolbar.

A modal will appear at the top of the screen showing the current link. To update it, type the new URL into the text field.

Click "OK" to save your changes and close the modal. The QR code on the canvas will automatically update to reflect the new link.

Add Alt Text

Add Alt Text for QR Codes (Accessibility)

To make your design more accessible for users with visual impairments or other accessibility needs, add a description to your QR code.

Select the QR code on the canvas, then click "Alt Text" in the top toolbar. In the text field that appears, enter a short description that clearly explains what the QR code does. A simple example would be:

"A QR code that links to the site venngage.com."

This helps screen readers convey the purpose of the QR code to users who can’t see it.
