Creating QR codes

QR codes on e9e.link are dynamic: the QR code contains an e9e.link/... short link, so you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. Perfect for table menus, product packaging, flyers, event banners, and business cards.

Creating a new QR code

1. Open the QR Code menu and click Create QR (or New QR code on the Dashboard).
2. Enter the Destination URL: the page that opens when the QR code is scanned.
3. Set the back-half (leave it empty for automatic, click Generate, or type your own). The rules are the same as for links, see back-half.
4. (Optional) Add a Title and Tags.
5. Design the QR code in the right-hand panel. The preview shows the real QR code.
6. Click Create QR code.

QR codes have their own monthly quota, separate from the link quota. See Plans & limits.

Always test before printing

Scan the QR code from a phone screen or a test print first, especially if you use light colors or a logo.

Adding a QR code to an existing link

Every short link can have a QR code too:

• When creating a link, turn on the QR code for this link panel.
• For an existing link, open the link’s Detail and click Add a QR code, or open Edit and turn on the QR code in the QR panel.

Designing the QR code

The design options depend on your plan.

Part	Options	Plan
Classic QR	Black and white with a small e9e.link watermark	Free
Templates	Classic, Orange, Rounded, Sunset, Ocean, Noir	Starter and up
Colors	QR color and Background	Starter and up
Dot pattern	Square, Rounded, Dots, Diamond	Starter and up
Corners	Square, Rounded, Circle, plus Different corner color	Starter and up
Gradient	Two-color gradient with an End color, Diagonal or Radial	Starter and up
Frame	None, Line, or Banner, with Frame text (for example “SCAN ME”) and Frame color	Starter and up
Logo in the middle	Upload a PNG/JPG logo	Pro and up

Locked options are marked from Starter or from Pro.

Mind the contrast

If the QR color is too close to the background, you get a “Low contrast: the QR code may be hard to scan.” warning. Use a dark QR color on a light background so it scans easily.

Logo in the middle of the QR code

1. In the Logo in the middle section, click Upload logo.
2. Choose a PNG or JPG file. Square logos look best.
3. To change it, click Replace logo. To remove it, click Delete.

Plan	Max. logo size	Total logo storage
Pro	1,024 KB	100 MB
Business	2,048 KB	1,024 MB
Enterprise	2,048 KB	10,240 MB

The e9e.link watermark

QR codes on the Free plan carry a small “e9e.link” watermark. On paid plans (Starter and up) the watermark is removed.

Downloading the QR code

Below the QR preview, click:

• Download PNG – a regular image, good for sharing in chats or on social media.
• Download SVG – a vector image that stays sharp at any size. Choose this for large prints (banners, posters, packaging).

You can also download PNG/SVG directly from the actions menu in the QR Code list.

Changing a QR code that is already printed

Open Edit on the QR code and change the Destination URL. The QR image stays the same; only the destination changes. Destination changes are limited per month, see Changing a link’s destination.

Don’t change the slug of a printed QR code

Changing the slug changes what the QR code contains. QR codes you have already printed will stop working. To re-point it, just change the Destination URL.

Scan analytics

Scans are counted just like clicks on a link. See Click & scan analytics.
