QR codes are becoming increasingly popular across various organizations. Although they may seem intimidating at first, they are fundamentally simple to create and use.
A QR code is an image that can be scanned with your phone to take you to a specific website or location. It needs an embedded hyperlink to work correctly. Instead of typing a web address into your phone browser, you can simply scan the QR code and be directed to the desired landing page. This embedded link eliminates the time, effort, and potential typos associated with manually entering a URL.
QR codes are an excellent addition when creating flyers, allowing your audience to take specific actions such as signing up for an event, bringing food, or RSVPing. They are a valuable tool for encouraging your audience to engage with your links.
Creating a QR code in Canva is simple. Follow these step-by-step instructions to insert a QR code with an embedded link into your design:
If you already have a linked QR code:
1. On the editor side panel, select the UPLOADS tab.
2. Click UPLOAD FILES.
