Download and print your QR code

Open the flow and use the links on its trigger card: Download PNG for slides, or Download SVG for print. Then scan it at the size you'll actually use before the event.

Steps

1. Click Data Capture Flows and open the flow.
2. On the trigger card at the top, under "Have your audience scan this QR code", click Download PNG or Download SVG.
3. Add the file to your slide, sign, or print layout.
4. Scan it with your phone at its final size to check it works.

PNG or SVG?

• PNG is a large image file. Use it in slides (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides), on web pages, and in email.
• SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size. Use it for banners, posters, programs, and anything a printer will produce.

Tips for slides and print

• Make it big. On a slide, give the code a good share of the screen. People in the back row are scanning from far away.
• Keep it black on white. Strong contrast scans most reliably. Don't recolor it, invert it, or put it on a busy photo.
• Leave a clear margin of white space around the code.
• Don't stretch or crop it. Resize it evenly from a corner.
• Say what it does next to it: "Scan to get today's slides." Add the keyword too, for anyone whose camera won't scan. See Keyword or QR code? Use both.
• Avoid glossy laminate under bright lights, which can cause glare.

Will it keep working?

Yes, as long as the flow keeps the QR code as its trigger. The code points to a fixed Textiful link, so you can edit the flow's steps, its pre-written text, or its short code without reprinting. If you switch the flow's trigger to a keyword, that QR code stops working for good. Switching back creates a new code you'd need to download and print again.
