# QR codes

> Create, customize, download, and track QR codes for your URLdn links.

QR codes give people a fast way to open a URLdn short link from a phone camera. Each QR code is connected to a short link, so you can update the destination later without replacing printed materials.

## Create a QR code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open QR Codes">
    From your dashboard, open **QR Codes** and choose **Create QR Code**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the link details">
    Enter the destination URL. You can also give the QR code a name so it is easy to find later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customize the design">
    Use the preview controls to choose dot style, marker center, marker border, dot color, and marker color. On eligible plans, choose whether to show the URLdn logo.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create and download">
    Choose **Create QR Code**. From the QR code card or edit view, preview it, copy its image URL, or download it in the available format.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Customization options

The dashboard currently includes:

* Square, rounded, or dotted dot styles
* Square or dotted marker centers
* Square, rounded-square, or circular marker borders
* A color picker and color swatches for dots
* A color picker and color swatches for markers
* URLdn logo display on Free; show, hide, or custom logo options on Pro and higher
* SVG, PNG, and JPEG download options

The live preview updates as you adjust the design. Scan the finished code with your phone before using it in print or a campaign.

  QR scans appear as link activity. Pro and higher plans also include QR analytics for understanding scan performance.
