Any short link in linkutm can be rendered as a QR code. The QR encodes the short URL - scanning it triggers the same redirect (and the same UTM tracking) as a click.

​
When to use it

  • Print: flyers, business cards, packaging.
  • Events: trade-show booths, conference signage.
  • TV / video overlays.
  • Restaurants, retail - anywhere the audience holds a phone but can’t type.

Customization

The QR panel has six tabs. Each controls a different visual aspect of the code. Logo — Place a logo or icon in the center. Upload an image, enter text, or pick a social media preset: linkutm, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Telegram, or TikTok.

Real-world example

Coffee shop loyalty stamp card:
Print QR for go.acme-cafe.com/cafe-loyalty on every receipt. Analytics shows scans by region (which store), device (iOS vs Android), time of day.

​
Common mistakes

Bypasses linkutm - no click tracking, no UTM consistency. Always encode the short URL, not the long destination.
A large or complex logo reduces scan reliability. Keep the logo small and set error correction to High. The scan reliability indicator in the panel turns red when the code is at risk.

​
Edge cases

Links with pixels enabled show a brief loading page before the redirect. QR scans inside an in-app browser may show this page. Tracking accuracy is not affected.
