Creating Your First QR Code

Creating a QR code with QR Code Genius is simple and fast. Follow this guide to generate your first code in under a minute.

Step 1: Choose Your Content Type

On the generator page (or your Dashboard), you'll see a row of tabs representing different types of content:

• Website (URL): Links to a webpage. Most common.
• Text: Displays plain text when scanned.
• WiFi: Connects users to a network automatically.
• vCard: Saves your contact info to their phone.
• PDF: Links to a downloadable document.
• App Store: Smart link to iOS or Android stores depending on device.

Select the type that matches your goal.

Step 2: Enter Content

Fill in the required fields. For a website, simply paste the URL (e.g., https://mybusiness.com).

Step 3: Customize Design

Click the Design tab to make it yours:

• Colors: Change the foreground (dots) and background colors. Ensure high contrast!
• Shapes: Choose square, rounded, or extra-rounded dots.
• Eyes: Customize the three corner markers.

Step 4: Add a Logo (Optional)

Click the Logo tab to upload your brand's icon.

• Supported formats: PNG, JPG, SVG.

2. Click Create Link (or Download if not logged in).
3. Choose your format:
   • PNG: Best for web and small prints.
