QR codes are extremely handy when you want to distribute images. While QR codes are most often used as an easy way to share URL links and web addresses, they can also be created to share text, videos, and pictures.
This article will show you various ways you can use QR codes with image files, like .png and .jpeg, as well as go through a step-by-step guide on how to create a code fr yourself. So let’s get started!
Image QR codes are essentially pictures that can be viewed on a phone or mobile device after scanning a QR code. These codes can be printed on a poster, flier, sticker, or just about any other flat surface.
You can use image QR codes in any situation where you want an audience to view your image on their own devices, without having to send a link or physically print out said image.
For instance, if you have a monthly calendar image you want your friends or coworkers to have access to, you can create a dynamic code for it and then distribute it to them. This way, you can also continue to update the image the code links to.
Other examples include:
And more!
1. In QR Code Developer, click on the Create Code button.
2. Select the Image option. Toggle the Dynamic switch if you want to be able to change the image over time.
3. Upload your desired image. (Optional: add a thumbnail image.)
4. Type in the necessary text. Make sure the image has a URL to link to.
5: (Optional) Click on the pencil icon in the Preview window to further customize your code.
6: Click Generate.
7. Test code on multiple devices.
With the tools available on QRCodeveloper, as well as other code generators, you can monitor the usage of any code you create. This can include how many times a code has been scanned, where it has been scanned, on what device, using what browser, and more. With these tools you can figure out which codes are reaching the most people and where to focus any advertising efforts.
With QRCodeveloper you can monitor:
Visibility and Placement: Ensure that QR codes are prominently displayed in relevant locations.
Clear Instructions: Provide clear instructions for users on how to scan the QR code.
Track and Analyze: Use tools to track QR code scans and analyze engagement metrics.
Know your audience: Only use codes if you know that most of your target audience would be interested.
Low Quality Codes: Using low-resolution images that are hard to scan.
Inadequate Testing: Failing to test QR codes on different devices before deployment.
Poor Placement: Hiding QR codes in areas where they are unlikely to be noticed.
Lack of Promotion: Not promoting the QR code enough across different channels.
Temporary Links: Not selecting the Set this link to never expire option, thus making the code only work for a limited amount of time.
By having your image accessible via a QR code you can provide your audience with an easy way to access it, make edits to the image or change it if need be, provide a little extra flair to whatever your project is, track who views your image, and so much more!
