Why do I need to convert an image to QR Code online?

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. The possibilities are endless!

Automatically mobile-optimized

QR Codes focus on directing traffic to mobile in particular, and we know how valuable mobile is for your marketing and business needs. 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. You can add your unique brand colors, your logo to the loading screen and the QR Code, as well as add a CTA to your QR Code frame and on the page. 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!

Updatable, editable, & trackable QR Codes

If QR Codes don’t sound impressive enough already, we’ve got one more added benefit for you: QR Code tracking and editing. The Image Gallery QR Code solution is a type of Dynamic QR Code that enables real-time tracking metrics through the QR Code Generator dashboard. 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.

What should I know before converting my image to QR Code online?

Minimum size

QR Codes have a minimum size of 2 x 2 cm (around 0.8 x 0.8 in). This enables both users to read them, as well as so QR Code scanners can detect them. QR Codes can be adjusted in size according to the particular design, but if you’re wondering whether or not your QR Code is too small, then opt for a larger version so you can avoid QR Code scanning problems. For further information on printing QR Codes, take a look at this overview.

Logo

All our QR Codes have the option to add your logo (or an image) in the middle. We absolutely recommend doing this, because it gives you an extra opportunity for branding, as well as that it ensures users that scanning your QR Code is secure.

Colors

You can add custom brand colors to your QR Code’s frame and edges to match them with any graphic design and give them a more professional appearance. Nonetheless, there are a few details to keep in mind such as always using a darker color for the foreground (the black and square pixels itself), a lighter color for the background, and maintaining the quiet zone to avoid any scanning issues. For a complete guide on custom QR Code design, we’ve got an overview here.

Printing formats

The QR Code file itself can be downloaded in four different image file formats: JPG, PNG, EPS, or even SVG. This enables you to integrate the QR Code image into any design you need, add your own styling elements, and adjust the size. Adding a QR Code to a design can be done with any photo editing tool.

Image display

For a solution like an Image Gallery QR Code, you have the option to display as many images as you need. However, there are two elements to keep in mind regarding images: First off, the more images you add to your QR Code, the larger the amount of data becomes. When you overload QR Code data, the Code tends to load slower. Furthermore, too many images can be distracting to users. It’s best to add just a few purposeful images related to your business or page topic instead.
