A QR code for your link in bio that you'll never have to reprint

Your link in bio works great on a phone screen. On a business card, a poster or a candle label, nobody is going to type it. That's what a QR code is for: point a camera, tap, and they're on your page.

The catch is that print is permanent. Choose the wrong kind of code and the day your link changes, every flyer becomes a dead end.

Static or dynamic?

A static QR code stores the address itself. It never expires, and it can never change: if the address moves, the code keeps pointing to the old one.

A dynamic QR code stores a short address that forwards to wherever you choose. You can change where it goes after printing, and because every scan passes through that short address, it can count scans too.

For anything you print in quantity, or anything that stays up for months, use a dynamic code.

Make a dynamic code on fayvi

On fayvi: open QR codes in your dashboard and create a code. Give it a name ("Market stall sign"), point it at your page, one of its tabs or any other link, and style it: colors, dot shape, corner shape and your logo, or a preset in one click. Dynamic QR codes come with every plan, as many as you need.

Change the destination whenever you like. The printed code stays the same.

Or make a quick static one

Need a code for a one-off link? The free QR Code Generator makes styled codes with your colors, dot shapes and logo, no account needed. Just remember it's static: once printed, it can't be changed.

PNG or SVG?

• PNG for things printed at a fixed size: business cards, flyers, stickers, labels.
• SVG for anything that gets scaled: posters, banners, signs. An SVG stays sharp at any size.

You can download every dynamic code from fayvi in both formats.

Make it scan on the first try

• Contrast. A dark code on a light background works best. Light on dark, or pale brand colors, can fail on some phones.
• Breathing room. Leave a clear margin around the code, and don't let text or patterns touch it.
• Size. The farther away people stand, the bigger it needs to be. A poster across a room needs a much bigger code than a card in someone's hand.
• A small logo. A logo in the middle is fine. A huge one hides too much of the code.
• Test it. Scan the printed proof with two or three phones before you print a thousand.

Tell people what they'll get

A bare QR code is a mystery box. Add a short line next to it: "Scan for the menu," "Scan to book," "Scan for tour dates." People scan when they know what's on the other side.

One code per place

Make a separate code for each place you print: one for business cards, one for the shop counter, one for the event poster. Each code counts its own scans, over time and by country and device, so after a month you'll know which placement works.

Where to put it

• business cards and email signatures
• packaging, thank-you cards and product tags
• market stalls and pop-up signs
• menus and table tents
• posters, flyers and event badges
• the last slide of a talk
• the merch table, or your shop window

Show your code from your phone

Meeting someone in person? Open your page, tap the share button, and let them scan the code on your screen. The same share sheet can save your contact card to their phone.

The short version

• Dynamic for anything printed; static only for one-offs.
• PNG for fixed sizes, SVG for big prints.
• Dark on light, a clear margin, a small logo, and a test scan.
• A line that says what people get.
• One code per placement, then compare the scans.
