Color and contrast controls
Choose foreground and background colors while receiving a warning when contrast may be unreliable for scanning.
Create QR files that survive real printing workflows
Style a QR code, check its contrast, add a frame or call to action, and export the right format for screen or print.
Design a QR code All features
What you can do
Each capability below is available in the current GoTo.now application.
Frames and calls to action
Add a simple or badge frame and a short instruction such as Scan to view.
PNG, SVG, and PDF
Use PNG for everyday digital work, SVG for scalable artwork, or a 300 DPI PDF for print handoff.
Batch QR packages
Generate up to 50 owned links as a ZIP with print-ready codes and a manifest.
Packaging that stays useful after the seasonal offer ends
A food brand prints a high-contrast code at its final physical size, uses SVG for the packaging artwork, and encodes an editable short link. After the promotion, the same printed code is repointed from a coupon to recipe ideas.
What this changes: The production file stays sharp and scannable, and existing packages remain useful without a reprint.
Is this the right tool?
Use it when
- A code will be printed on packaging, signage, or menus
- The destination may change after printing
- A printer needs vector or fixed 300 DPI artwork
Choose another approach when
- Foreground and background colors have weak contrast
- You cannot test a proof at the final physical size
How it works
1
Choose a destination
Use an existing GoTo.now link or shorten a public destination first.
2
Style without harming readability
Select colors, frame, label, dimensions, and optional logo, then test the displayed preview.
3
Download for the medium
Choose PNG, SVG, or PDF and test a proof at the final physical size before a large print run.
Behavior worth knowing
- A QR code does not expire independently; it continues to work while its encoded short link remains active.
- Logos and decorative frames reduce available scanning tolerance, so final-size testing remains important.
- PDF output is rendered from a high-resolution RGB QR image at 300 DPI.
QR Design & Export FAQs
Which file type should a printer receive?
Use SVG when the printer accepts vector artwork. Use the 300 DPI PDF when their workflow expects a fixed print document.
Can I update where a printed QR code goes?
Yes. The QR contains the short URL, so changing that link's destination updates every existing print placement.
How many QR codes fit in one batch?
The dashboard batch tool creates up to 50 codes per ZIP package.
