How to Add a QR Code to a Flyer or Poster (Free, Print-Ready)

Quick Answer

Adding a QR code to a flyer bridges the gap between print and digital — readers scan to register, book, order, or learn more without typing a URL. UnlimitedQRCodes.com provides SVG and PNG QR code downloads that import directly into any design tool for flyer production.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Generate your QR code

Enter your URL into UnlimitedQRCodes.com and generate your code. Choose a colour that fits your flyer design — dark colours only.

2

Download as SVG for professional print

Click SVG download. This produces a vector file that your print shop or design tool can scale to any size without quality loss. For home printing, PNG works fine.

3

Import into your design tool

Canva: Upload > Upload files > import SVG > resize freely. Adobe InDesign/Illustrator: File > Place. Microsoft Word/Publisher: Insert > Pictures. Google Slides: Insert > Image > Upload.

4

Place with a clear call to action

Position the QR code with surrounding white space (quiet zone). Add text nearby: 'Scan to register', 'Scan to book', or 'Scan to find out more'. Size: minimum 3cm × 3cm for A5 flyers, 4–5cm for A4 posters.

5

Test before going to print

Print a proof copy and scan at the exact print size with iPhone Camera and Android Camera before approving for the full print run.

Pro Tips

  • →Leave a white border (quiet zone) of at least 4mm around the QR code — never bleed to the edge
  • →Place QR codes in the bottom-right or bottom-centre of the flyer — where the eye naturally finishes reading
  • →For outdoor posters, use minimum 5cm × 5cm — people scan from further away
  • →Add a short URL as text below the QR code as a backup for those who can't or won't scan
