Compile multiple images into an image gallery
The Image Gallery QR Code solution is ideal for displaying multiple images in the form of a gallery, which can be used to inspire users to visit both your website and a landing page from the CTA button. This type of QR Code solution is highly useful for print marketing and streamlining the process for users to access links via their smartphone, instead of having to look them up later.
Useful for portfolios, resumes & other print business documents
Showcasing your work as a graphic designer, photographer, design agency, or even a company such as real estate will find the Image Gallery QR Code worthwhile. You can add these QR Codes to a resume or business card to display a portfolio, business print materials like brochures, print ads in magazines and newspapers, or even large poster ads.

As a result, all of our QR Codes at QR Code Generator comes with displays that optimizes your linked content for all devices, including desktop, mobile, and tablets.
Style the QR Code to match your brand
Both your image gallery page and the QR Code are entirely customizable.

Furthermore, you can also download QR Codes into different image file formats, enabling you to customize your QR Code campaign for all types of designs and marketing platforms.
Functional for digital & print marketing
QR Codes work wonders for multi-channel marketing - particularly when print mediums are involved. Before QR Codes existed, you likely saw print marketing in the form of something like a billboard ad but struggled to connect with that brand later on, because there was no way to save the link. QR Codes remove this problem entirely because users can simply scan the QR Code with their smartphone, and your links are directly there. No more lost customers!

You can view data on your QR Code scans such as location by city and country, time scanned, operating device used, and unique vs. total scans. This makes both campaign optimization and ROI calculations possible - even for print! Furthermore, Dynamic QR Codes can both be edited and changed without having to redesign your QR Code. If you’d like to update a link, add a new image, or even change your type of QR Code solution, it’s possible at any time without disturbing current campaigns.
