Make a QR that doesn't look like 2009

Colour, gradient, logo, dot shape, error correction. Five presets that get you 90% of the way, plus an editor when you want the last 10%.

Every BlinkLink comes with a QR. The default is plain black squares because that scans on every device on the planet. If you want it to match your brand, the QR Designer is right there.

Open the designer

Dashboard → QR codes → ⋯ on any card → Design.
OR from the homepage flow: hit Blink it, then Customise on the result card.

Designer opens in a modal on desktop and a full-screen sheet on mobile. The preview updates live as you tweak.

Pick a preset, then tweak

Clean: black squares, white background. Boring on purpose. Best for print where contrast wins.
Brand: rounded dots, your accent colour. Most-used preset.
Sticker: chunky dots on a sunny background. Pairs well with the BlinkLink visual language.
Pixel: sharp grid, indie-zine energy.
Pro: gradient + classy rounded corners. The fanciest default we ship.

The four knobs that actually matter

Dot shape: Square / Rounded / Dots / Classy. Pick one, eye-ball the preview.
Foreground: the dots' colour. High contrast against the background is what makes a QR scan reliably.
Logo: drop a transparent PNG into the centre. Triggers an automatic ECC bump so the logo's hole doesn't kill scanability.
Error correction (ECC): L < M < Q < H. Higher tolerates more damage / a bigger logo, at the cost of slightly denser code.

Save & share

Hit Save in the designer footer. Your changes persist with the link; anyone who scans it from now on gets the new style.
Tap Export PNG / SVG to download the QR for posters, stickers, business cards.
QR scans show up alongside link clicks in your analytics, separately tagged, never lumped together.

Things to avoid

Low contrast (light grey on white): phones can't read it.
Very large logos with ECC=L: half the QR pixels are gone, so the scanner gives up.
Inverted colours (white dots on black): works in theory, fails on cheap scanners. Stick to dark-on-light.
