QR sharing guide
How to Create QR Codes
QR codes are useful when people need to open a link or short piece of information from a phone. This guide shows a simple browser-based workflow for creating downloadable QR codes.
Quick workflow
A simple way to do it
-
1
Prepare the link or short text you want people to scan.
-
2
Generate and preview the QR code in Bizzon.
-
3
Download the PNG and test it before printing or sharing.
Worked example: a public tool link
Enter https://bizzon.app/tools, select 384 pixels and Medium error correction, and keep a dark foreground on a white background. The preview encodes that exact URL after trimming leading and trailing whitespace. Download the PNG and scan it with a phone: the decoded address should match the input and open the tool library. Generating the code does not visit or validate the destination.
Decide what the scan should do
Use a full https URL when the goal is opening a page. Plain text is encoded as text; entering a phone number or contact details does not automatically create a structured contact card. For a menu or booking page, visit the public URL in a signed-out browser first. A preview link that works only for you will still fail for visitors after scanning.
Checklist before printing
Confirm the final URL, remove unintended private tokens, add a visible destination label, and scan the downloaded image at its final size. Keep the square proportions and strong contrast. The generator uses a two-module margin; add ample blank space around the image in the print layout and check it on multiple phones. Test under the lighting and distance your visitors will actually use.
Limitations: static codes and dense payloads
This is a static QR code, not a managed redirect. You cannot change the encoded destination after distributing the PNG. A destination you control can keep the same URL while its content changes. Longer input and higher error correction can produce a denser grid; a larger image alone does not rescue a crowded or low-contrast print. Shorten unnecessary content if generation fails.
Keep the destination and label in sync
A code labelled Menu should open the menu, not a homepage that requires searching. Keep a readable URL beside the image as an alternative for people who cannot scan it. Do not rename an already published destination just to make it look cleaner: preserve the working address or arrange a permanent redirect before printing.
