QR Codes

Generate QR codes for any MASK short link. Customize colors and logos, download in multiple formats, and update the destination without reprinting.

Creating a QR code

Go to QR Codes in the sidebar and click Generate QR Code. Choose a destination URL, an existing short link, or a bio page. MASK generates a QR code that resolves through your short link.

Every row in your links list also has a QR action that takes you to the QR Codes page.

Customization

Customize the appearance of your QR code to match your brand:

  • •Foreground color — The color of the QR code dots. Defaults to black.
  • •Background color — The background behind the QR code. Defaults to white.
  • •Logo — Upload a logo to display in the center of the QR code. The logo is automatically sized to maintain scannability.

Ensure sufficient contrast between foreground and background colors. Low-contrast QR codes may not scan reliably on all devices.

Downloading

Download your QR code in two formats:

  • •PNG — Raster format suitable for digital use, social media, and presentations. Rendered at 512px, and it carries your colors only. Dot and corner shapes, gradients, and a center logo appear in the SVG.
  • •SVG — Vector format that scales to any size without losing quality. Ideal for print materials like flyers, posters, and business cards.

Dynamic QR codes

QR codes you create in the dashboard are dynamic. The code points to your short link, not directly to the destination URL, so you can change the destination at any time without generating a new QR code.

This is especially useful for printed materials. If the destination URL changes, update the link in MASK and the same QR code will redirect to the new destination. All click analytics continue to be tracked through the same link.

Two kinds of QR code are not dynamic. A QR code auto-created with a bio page encodes that page’s address directly, and the files you download from the free QR tools encode the URL you typed. To get a dynamic code from a free tool, save the result to your workspace and download it again from the QR Codes page.

Analytics

Scans of a link QR code are tracked as clicks on the underlying short link. All standard analytics — referrers, devices, geolocation — apply to that traffic the same way they apply to regular link clicks.

A bio page QR code has no short link behind it, so its scans are counted in that page’s views instead. You will find them in the page editor’s Stats tab, not in link analytics.
