A QR Code in Linkpod is a scannable image that contains embedded data (for example a URL, text, WiFi details, or a payment request). You create and manage QR Codes from the QR Codes screen.

​
Create a QR Code

1

Open QR Codes and start a new QR Code

  1. Sign in to your Linkpod dashboard.
  2. Go to QR Codes.
  3. Select Create QR.
2

Name your QR Code (and optionally add it to a Project)

  • Set a Name (this is how you’ll find it later in your QR Codes list).
  • If Projects are enabled on your account, you can optionally select a Project.
3

Choose a QR type and enter the content

In the creator, choose a QR Type and fill in its required fields.Available types depend on your plan and enabled features, but Linkpod can support:
  • Text
  • URL
  • Phone
  • SMS
  • Email
  • WhatsApp
  • Facetime
  • Location
  • WiFi
  • Event
  • Crypto
  • Vcard
  • PayPal
  • UPI Payment
  • EPC Payment
  • PIX Payment
4

(URL type) Choose between static URL and Dynamic QR Code

If you’re creating a URL QR Code, you have two options:
  • Static (default): enter the URL directly in the URL field.
  • Dynamic QR code: turn on Dynamic QR code and select a Linkpod Link.
When Dynamic QR code is enabled, Linkpod generates a QR Code that points to an internal short link, which can redirect dynamically.
If you use a Dynamic QR code, don’t change the linked Short Link’s alias/slug later — otherwise the QR Code can stop working.
5

Customize the QR design (optional)

Linkpod lets you customize appearance before saving, including:
  • Style (QR shape)
  • Colors (solid color or gradient, background transparency, optional custom eye colors)
  • Frame (frame style + optional frame text and colors)
  • Branding (add a logo, background image, and/or foreground image)
  • Options (size, margin, error correction capability, encoding)
As you make changes, Linkpod regenerates the preview and can show whether the QR Code seems readable.
6

Create the QR Code

Select Create.After creation, Linkpod saves the QR Code and opens it in the edit screen.
If QR Codes are enabled, you can start a QR Code that’s pre-filled from an existing Short Link.
  1. Go to Links.
  2. Find the Short Link you want.
  3. Open the link’s menu (three dots).
  4. Select Create QR.
This opens the QR code creator with:
  • the type set to URL
  • the URL content pre-filled from your Short Link
  • Dynamic QR code enabled

​
Bulk create QR Codes (Text only, optional)

If your plan supports bulk generation, you can generate multiple QR Codes at once.
1

Turn on Bulk generation

  1. Go to QR Codes → Create QR.
  2. Choose the Text type.
  3. Enable Bulk generation.
2

Enter one line per QR Code

  • In the Text content field, enter one value per line.
  • Select Create.
Linkpod generates one QR Code per non-empty line (up to your plan’s bulk limit), and appends numbering to the name (for example My QR - #1).

​
Edit a QR Code

1

Open the QR Code you want to update

  1. Go to QR Codes.
  2. Select the QR Code name to open it, or open the menu (three dots) and choose Edit.
2

Update the embedded content

Depending on the QR type, you can update fields like:
  • URL / Text / Phone number
  • Email or SMS details
  • WiFi settings
  • Payment details
Changes update the preview and embedded data.
3

(Dynamic URL) Update the destination safely

If your QR Code is a Dynamic QR code and is connected to a Short Link:
  • You can update where it ultimately goes by editing the linked Short Link.
  • Avoid changing the Short Link’s domain/slug (alias) — the QR Code relies on that URL.
4

Save the changes

Select Update.

​
Use a QR Code

​
Download formats

You can download saved QR Codes from the QR Codes list or from the QR Code edit screen. Linkpod supports downloading as:
  • SVG
  • PNG
  • JPG
  • WEBP
PNG/JPG/WEBP downloads are generated from the current QR Code preview. If you want a larger output, adjust the Size option before downloading.

​
Print

If PDF export/printing is enabled for your plan, you can use the Print button on the create/edit screen to print the QR Code.

​
Check what’s inside (Embedded data)

On the create/edit screen, you can open Embedded data to view the exact data Linkpod is encoding into the QR Code.

​
Duplicate or delete

From the QR Code menu (three dots), you can:
  • Duplicate a QR Code to reuse the design and content
  • Delete a QR Code when you no longer need it
On the QR Codes list, you can also enable Bulk actions to download or delete multiple QR Codes at once.

​
Troubleshooting

​
The QR Code shows “might not be readable”

Linkpod tests readability locally while generating the preview. If your QR Code is marked as not readable, try:
  • Switching to a simpler Style
  • Increasing Margin
  • Increasing Error correction capability (ECC)
  • Reducing the Logo size
  • Removing background/foreground images or increasing their transparency

​
My Dynamic QR Code stopped working

Common causes:
  • The linked Short Link’s domain or slug (alias) was changed.
  • The linked Short Link was disabled.
If you need to change where a Dynamic QR code redirects, update the Short Link’s destination (Long URL) instead of changing its alias.
