QR Code templates help you stick to your company’s brand guidelines for every campaign. It lets you ensure that every QR Code has the same design attributes representing your brand in the best way possible.

While you’re creating your QR Code, during the customization step, you’ll notice a default template under Templates. This template is editable and can be customized.

Similarly, you can create your own templates and apply them to your QR Codes.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Save the QR Code design

Once you’ve finished creating your QR Code and it’s ready for download, you can save its design as a template. Click ‘Save as template’ under ‘Show advanced options’.

Step 2: Edit the template

To access your saved template(s), select Templates on the left navigation bar.

You can click the three dots on the top right corner of the template to duplicate or rename it.

To edit the template, click on it. Once you’ve made changes to the design, click 'Save'.

Once you edit a QR Code template, the changes apply to QR Codes currently using it. You can duplicate the template to avoid affecting those QR Codes.

However, when you delete a template, its design attributes will still be present on the QR Code.

Step 1: Navigate to the QR Template menu
