Step-by-step instructions
- 1Decide what your flyer QR code should doCommon flyer QR destinations: event registration, booking page, special offer landing page, or more information page.
- 2Create a dynamic QR codeUse a dynamic QR code — flyers often go out in quantity and you can't reprint if the destination changes.
- 3Download as SVG for print qualitySVG scales to any flyer size without pixelation. Minimum recommended size for flyers: 3cm × 3cm.
- 4Place prominently with a clear CTABottom of the flyer with a CTA like 'Scan to register' or 'Scan for offer' maximizes conversion.
Tips for best results
- →Include a short URL text below the QR code as a backup for people who prefer to type

- →Test the QR code in the print-ready PDF before sending to the printer
Common questions
What size should a QR code be on a flyer?
Minimum 3cm × 3cm for reliable scanning. Larger is better — the most common flyer QR code mistake is making it too small.
Should I use a static or dynamic QR code on a flyer?
Dynamic — flyers are printed in bulk and you can't reprint if the destination changes. Dynamic codes let you update anytime.
Where should a QR code be placed on a flyer?
Bottom of the flyer (eye flow ends at the CTA), or a dedicated 'Scan here' section with a brief call to action.
