How to Create a QR Code in Linkkit

Follow these steps to create a QR code for any existing or new Linkkit link:

Step 1 — Open Your Linkkit Dashboard

Log in to your Linkkit account and go to your dashboard.

Step 2 — Select a Link

From your list of links:

  1. Locate the link you want a QR code for

  2. Click the More Options (⋮) icon beside it

You can also create a new link first, then generate a QR code for it.

Step 3 — Click “Generate QR Code”

In the options menu:

  • Select Generate QR Code

  • Linkkit instantly builds a QR code tied to your link

The QR code preview will appear on-screen.

Step 4 — Customize (Optional)

While customizing features vary by plan, you might be able to:

  • Choose QR code style

  • Download in different formats

  • Add logo/branding (on supported plans)

Customize based on your campaign needs.

Step 5 — Download or Share

Click the download button to save your QR code in:

  • PNG format (standard)

Best for:

  • Websites

  • Social media

  • Email campaigns

  • Digital displays

PNG files are optimized for web use and fast sharing.

  • SVG format (vector, high-resolution)

Best for:

  • Professional printing

  • Large banners

  • Posters

  • Packaging

SVG files are vector-based, meaning they can scale infinitely without losing quality.


Or copy and share the QR code directly.

Note : Check your plan for supported export formats.

Understanding Basic QR Code Options

Error Correction Levels

Error correction ensures your QR code remains scannable even if part of it is damaged, smudged, or partially covered.

  • Low error correction – Smaller QR code, best for clean environments

  • Medium error correction – Balanced size and reliability (default)

  • High error correction – Ideal for small prints or challenging conditions

Higher error correction increases durability but slightly increases QR code density.

For posters, outdoor signage, or packaging, medium to high correction is recommended.

Managing Your QR Codes

All generated QR codes appear in your QR Codes list, where you can:

  • View previews

  • See associated links

  • Edit details

  • Download files

  • Track performance

Editing a QR Code

You can update:

  • Destination URL

  • QR code name

  • Styling (if available on your plan)

The key benefit:
When you change a QR code’s destination URL, the image itself does not change. This means you can update where it points without reprinting physical materials.

This makes QR codes in Linkkit dynamic and campaign-flexible.

Tracking QR Code Scans

Every QR code scan is tracked inside your Linkkit analytics dashboard.

You can view:

  • Total number of scans

  • Location data

  • Device types

  • Traffic trends over time

Each scan counts as a tracked click under your subscription plan.

This data helps you:

  • Measure offline marketing ROI

  • Compare performance across campaigns

  • Identify high-performing print placements

  • Optimize future campaigns
