How to create, download, and test a Short Link QR code

Create the QR code

1. 1Create a Short Link with the final web destination.
2. 2Open the saved Short Link.
3. 3Find the QR code section.
4. 4Open the preview or copy the QR image.
5. 5Download PNG or SVG.
6. 6Scan the code from another device before publishing it.

PNG versus SVG

• Use PNG for documents, social graphics, slides, and everyday image workflows.
• Use SVG for print or design work that needs to scale without becoming blurry.
• Give printers the SVG when they can accept it, then test a physical proof.
• LinkStack currently provides the generated QR code without color, logo, frame, or style controls.

Edit after printing

The QR code points to the stable Short Link, not directly to its destination. You can update the Short Link destination later and the existing printed code will follow it. The public ending does not change, and pausing, expiring, or archiving the Short Link stops the normal redirect.

Print and placement checklist

• Leave clear space around the code.
• Keep enough contrast between the code and its background.
• Test at the final printed size and expected scanning distance.
• Scan with more than one phone when the placement matters.
• After changing the destination, scan the printed code again.
• Use Short Link analytics to separate QR-attributed clicks marked with src=qr.
