QR Codes
TrizLink QR codes are scannable images that encode your short link URL, generated automatically for every short link you create. You can view each QR code, customise it, and download it for use on screens or in print, and because the code encodes the short link, scans are counted as clicks in your analytics. TrizLink also includes a standalone QR code generator among its utility tools for when you want to produce a code directly. QR codes give your short links a physical, scannable presence that bridges offline materials and online destinations.
What you can do
You can open the QR code attached to any short link, adjust its appearance, and download it in a format suitable for print or screens. You can also use the standalone QR code generator in the utility tools. Since each link's QR code encodes the short link URL, every scan is tracked the same way a click is.
Use cases
- Print materials. Add a downloaded QR code to flyers, posters, packaging, or business cards so people can scan straight to your link.
- On-screen sharing. Show a QR code in a slide deck, livestream, or storefront display so a viewing audience can reach your destination quickly.
- Event check-ins. Put a QR code at a booth or event entrance that links to a signup, schedule, or resource.
- Bridge offline to online. Connect physical products or signage to a measurable short link so you can see how many scans convert.
- Quick one-off codes. Use the standalone generator in the utility tools when you just need a QR code without managing a saved link.
How it works
- Sign in with Google and open a short link from the dashboard Links page.
- View the QR code that was generated automatically with that link.
- Customise the QR code's appearance to suit where you will use it.
- Download the QR code in a format ready for print or screen.
- Place the QR code on your material, and watch scans appear as clicks in the link's analytics.
- For a code outside a saved link, open the standalone QR code generator in the utility tools.
Tips
- Download QR codes at a large enough size for print so they stay sharp when scaled.
- Keep enough contrast and quiet space around the code so scanners read it reliably.
- Test the printed or displayed code with a phone before distributing it widely.
- Use the per-link QR code (rather than the standalone generator) when you want scans tracked against that link.
- Pair a QR code with a short, readable URL so people can also type the link if they prefer.
FAQ
Does every short link get a QR code?
Yes. TrizLink generates a QR code automatically for every short link, and you can view, customise, and download it.
Do QR scans count in my analytics?
Yes. A link's QR code encodes the short link URL, so scanning it is recorded as a click in that link's analytics.
Can I customise how the QR code looks?
Yes. You can customise the QR code before downloading it so it fits the material where you plan to use it.
Can I download QR codes for print?
Yes. QR codes are downloadable for print or screen use. Download at a suitable size so the code stays clear at the dimensions you need.
Is there a QR code generator that isn't tied to a link?
Yes. A standalone QR code generator is available among the utility tools for producing a code directly.
Will I see who scanned my QR code?
Scans are counted as clicks, so you see them in the link's analytics alongside breakdowns like country, device, and referrer, rather than personal identities.
Are QR codes free to use?
Yes. TrizLink is free, and QR codes are included with every short link as well as in the standalone generator.
