The use of QR codes It is increasingly widespread, especially since the arrival of Covid-19, when they began to replace the traditional menu cards in hospitality businesses and where it does not seem that they are going to leave anytime soon.
Creating a QR code is very easy, but give it a touch of personality Beyond the same black and white style that everyone uses, it is another story. This is where an interesting website called qr.io comes in that takes its creation to another level.
Create QR codes in various styles and with different functions
In QR.io you can not only generate your code but also customize each and every one of its elements. The first thing you have to decide is the function of the code: this can be to open a link, send an email to a specific address, send an SMS, make a call, connect to a WiFi network, or even send a WhatsApp, send money through PayPal or even Bitcoin.
Once this is done you can go on to customize the image of your code. Here the web editor lets you choose shapes and colors. This is the hexadecimal color you want for the background (or it can be transparent), for the color of the code points, the color of the markers and their borders.
You have about fifty shape options as many of the points and the other elements to combine as you prefer. Below you can also add a central logo from among those offered or upload your own image.
In the end you can choose an additional frame between eight options with the color you want, and you can write a phrase to add at the bottom in three different fonts.
Qr.io is not free but, you can generate a functional code without even creating an account or logging in, you just have to save it by taking a screenshot of the window where you edit it.
If you want to download a PNG or a vector image in SVG of your QR, you must register with your email. The premium service also offers tracking of all the times your code is used, and you are offered a trial period of seven days without limitations in all the codes you can create.
