URL QR Codes
URL QR codes are the most common type — they redirect users to any web link when scanned. Perfect for driving traffic to landing pages, product pages, or social profiles.
What You Can Link To
Section titled “What You Can Link To”- Websites & landing pages — market a specific URL or campaign
- Social media profiles — link to Instagram, LinkedIn, or TikTok
- Video links — direct to YouTube or Vimeo
- Forms & sign-ups — collect emails or feedback
- Product pages — sell items or promote services
- PDFs & documents — share files without email
- Shortened URLs — use custom short links for tracking
The Form
Section titled “The Form”Just enter a URL in the text field. It must start with http:// or https://. If you paste a URL without the protocol, Qrius auto-adds it for you.
Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”Dynamic tracking — Every time someone scans your QR code, Qrius logs the scan with location, device, and browser data. You can see:
- Total scans over time
- Geographic breakdown (country, region, city)
- Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
- Browser and OS breakdown
- Referrer source (how people found the QR code)
This data updates in real-time on your analytics dashboard.
Pro Tips
Section titled “Pro Tips”- Campaign names — Give each QR code a label like “Email Campaign Q1” or “Trade Show Booth A” to track them on your dashboard.
- UTM parameters — Add
?utm_source=qr&utm_medium=printto your URL to track QR traffic in Google Analytics separately. - Change URLs later — With Qrius, you can edit the destination URL anytime without regenerating the QR code (dynamic QR feature).
- Test before printing — Scan your QR code on a few devices to confirm it works before ordering printed materials.
- Readable fonts — QR codes work at any size, but smaller codes (below 1 inch) are harder to scan. Print at least 2x2 inches for best results.
