Frames & Labels

Frames and labels turn a plain QR code into a branded, actionable element. A frame adds a decorative border, and a label tells people what to do (“Scan Me”, “Learn More”, “Download the App”).

Adding a Frame

1. Open the Customize panel (right-side tabs).
2. Click the Frame tab (the border/frame icon).
3. Click “Choose Frame” to see available frame styles.
4. Select a frame design from the quick-pick gallery.

Available frame styles include:

• None - Just the QR code, no frame.
• Simple Border - Clean rectangular outline.
• Rounded Border - Soft, modern look.
• Solid Fill - Colored background behind the QR code.
• Gradient Fill - Gradient background (optional).
• Fancy Decorative - Ornamental borders with visual flair.

Each frame updates your preview in real-time, so you can see how it looks with your QR code colors and logo.

Frame Label

Add a call-to-action label inside or below your frame:

1. Enable the label by typing text in the “Label Text” field.
   • Examples: “Scan Me”, “Download the App”, “Learn More”, “Visit Our Site”
2. Pick a label frame (where the text sits):
   • Top - Label appears above the QR code.
   • Bottom - Label appears below the QR code.
   • Inside - Label sits inside the frame border (if your frame style supports it).
3. Customize text:
   • Font - Choose from available typefaces (sans-serif, serif, monospace).
   • Size - Auto-scales to fit; you can adjust the slider for fine-tuning.
   • Color - Pick a text color that contrasts with the frame background.

Quick-Pick Label Frames

Qrius offers pre-configured label frames for common actions:

• “Scan Me” - Simple, bold, attention-grabbing.
• “Learn More” - Professional, call-to-action style.
• “Download” - Tech-forward, app-store friendly.
• “Get Started” - Onboarding-friendly.
• “Custom” - Use the Label Text field to type anything.

Click a quick-pick option and it auto-fills the text and styling.

Label Placement Examples

Editing Frames & Labels

All frame and label settings are saved with your QR code. To change them later:

1. Open the QR code in Qrius for editing.
2. Return to the Frame tab.
3. Update the frame style, label text, or label position.
4. Click Save to apply changes.

Frame Color Coordination

If your frame has a background color:

• Ensure contrast between the frame color and QR code dots.
• Test labels: Make sure label text is readable against the frame background.
• Consider printing: Colored frames look great on digital, but test print samples to ensure colors stay vibrant.

Template Storage

When you save a frame + label combo as a brand template, all these settings are preserved:

• Frame style
• Label text
• Label position
• Font, size, and color
• Frame background color

Apply the template to new QR codes and the frame and label appear instantly—no redesign needed.

Pro Tips

• Keep labels short: 1–3 words scan faster and look cleaner.
• Match your brand: Use brand colors for frames and labels.
• Test visibility: At small sizes (e.g., stickers), frames and labels should still be legible.
• Combine with logos: A frame + logo + label creates a complete branded unit that commands attention.

Your frames and labels are rendered directly into the QR code image when you download it, so they travel wherever the QR code goes—print, email, social media, or digital signage.
