Canva and most design tools generate static QR codes — once printed, the destination is locked. If your offer changes, the promotion ends, or you need to redirect to a new page, the QR is dead and the flyer is wasted.
QRflows generates dynamic QR codes: same printed code, destination you can update anytime from your dashboard. Design the flyer in Canva — generate the QR in QRflows.

Flyers are printed once, but campaigns change. With dynamic QR codes, you can update the destination after printing without replacing the QR.
Rotate the discount or promotion without reprinting.
New date, new venue, new agenda — the QR keeps working.
Move users to a fresh page anytime.
Sign up and create a URL QR code. Paste your destination — offer page, menu, event registration, or any URL. Download as SVG (best for print, stays sharp at any size) or PNG.
Open Canva, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, or any design tool. Insert the QR code image. Place it in a corner or bottom section — visible but not competing with your main message.
Minimum 2×2 cm for a handheld flyer read at arm's length. For wall or window flyers, use at least 4×4 cm. Rule of thumb: scanning distance in cm = QR size in cm × 10. A 3 cm QR scans reliably from up to 30 cm.
Never leave a QR code without a label. Add 3–5 words above or below it: "Scan for today's offer", "Scan to book", "Scan for the menu". Scan rates drop significantly without a CTA.
Print a proof at actual size and scan it with at least two phones — iPhone camera app and an Android. If it scans reliably from 20–30 cm, you're ready to print.
Campaign changed? New offer? Log into QRflows, update the URL, done. The printed flyer keeps working — no reprint needed.
See which flyer design, neighborhood, or distribution channel actually drives scans — same QRflows dashboard.
Read the QR Analytics guideCanva's built-in QR generates a static code — the destination is fixed at the moment of creation. If your landing page URL changes, the promotion ends, or you want to redirect to something new, the printed QR stops working as intended and you'd need to reprint.
The better workflow: design the flyer in Canva, generate the QR code in QRflows. Download the QR as PNG or SVG, place it in your Canva design. You get a dynamic QR you can update after printing, plus scan analytics Canva doesn't provide.
Keep it to 3–5 words that tell people exactly what they get: "Scan for the offer", "Scan to book a table", "Scan to download the menu". Avoid generic labels like "Scan me" — specific CTAs get significantly more scans than vague ones.
Create your QR code in QRflows and download it as PNG. In Canva, click Uploads → upload the PNG → drag it onto your flyer. Resize to at least 2×2 cm in the final print size. Add a short text label next to it — "Scan to learn more" or whatever matches your offer.
Yes — if you use a dynamic QR. The QR image stays the same; you change the destination URL inside QRflows and every scan goes to the new page.
Dynamic, almost always. Flyers are a campaign asset — offers, dates, and landing pages change. Dynamic QR codes let you keep printed flyers useful long after the first run and give you scan analytics.
A general rule: at least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 × 0.8 inch) for handouts read at arm's length. Add a short caption like 'Scan for the offer' to lift scan rates.
Yes. Generate a separate QR per design, neighborhood, or distribution channel and compare scans, devices, and peak hours per campaign in QRflows analytics.
Yes. Point the QR at a WhatsApp link, signup form, hosted landing page, PDF, event registration, or any URL — and switch destinations later if needed.
Yes. We recommend it. One QR per design or distribution channel makes performance comparison clean and lets you retire underperforming creatives.
