Event QR codes for posters

Event QR codes for posters

An event QR code on a poster takes someone from “that looks good” to your ticket page in one scan — no typing a long URL off a wall. It's the difference between a passer-by who buys and one who forgets the name by the time they're home. Paste your ticket or event-info link below to make one free.

Posters and flyers are great at sparking interest and terrible at converting it: nobody types a clunky ticketing URL standing at a bus stop. A QR code carries that intent straight to checkout. Point it at your ticket page, your lineup, or an info landing page, and the scan opens it instantly. Because the code encodes a link, a dynamic code lets you repoint it when a set time shifts or the venue changes — every poster already printed stays correct.

Where an event code goes on print

  • The poster, bottom third — large enough to scan from a metre or two, with “Scan for tickets” beside it.
  • Flyers and handbills — close-range scanning, so the code can be smaller.
  • Tickets and wristbands — link to the running order or set times for people already attending.
  • Social and digital screens — the same code works on a story or a foyer display.

Make and size your event code

From ticket link to a scannable poster:

  1. 1

    Copy your ticket or info URL

    The page where people buy or read the full details.

  2. 2

    Paste it above

    The generator builds the code instantly in your browser.

  3. 3

    Download as SVG or PDF

    Vector scales from a flyer up to an A1 poster with no blur.

  4. 4

    Size for scanning distance

    On a poster read from two metres, make the code at least 5cm across.

Print big enough for the distance

Posters are read from further away than flyers, so the code must be bigger. As a rule, the scan distance is about ten times the code's width — see the print-size guide for the full table.

Yes — the static code is completely free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
