Step-by-step guide: how to download a QR code after adding content

To transform any file or link into a QR code, you need to complete several key steps. First, you should add content using the appropriate button or field of the QR generator. At the final stage, you need to save QR code to your phone to later share it online or print it as needed.

Here, we will walk you through how to save an interactive QR code to your smartphone or computer. Additionally, we’ll cover which formats and sizes are recommended for downloading QR codes.

Dynamic QR code format options on the GET-QR service

Now we’re going to clarify how to save a QR code as an image. Using our QR code generator, users can convert any files or URLs into QR codes. After adding the desired content, they can choose from the following formats:

– PNG. Downloading a QR code in PNG format is ideal if you need a simple image compatible with any device, with no need to install additional programs;

– PDF. The PDF (Portable Document Format) is suitable when planning to print your dynamic QR code, or when you need to share the QR code image in its original form without the option to make changes;

– SVG. The SVG type is recommended for a QR code with a link or file intended for use in web design or printing in large sizes without losing quality.

In addition to choosing the appropriate format, users can also independently determine the file size. This setting is measured in pixels (px), with options of 1024, 2048, or 4096 px. For example, choosing 1024 px means the QR code’s resolution will be 1024 by 1024 pixels. The higher the resolutions, the larger the image's file size in kilobytes.

Instructions on how to download a QR code

GET-QR allows both registered and unregistered users to generate and save QR codes. If you prefer not to create an account, you can start using the QR generator right away. However, note that as a guest, you can only download QR code on iphone or android once, without the option to make future changes.

To save a QR code, complete the following steps:

1. Visit the GET-QR QR code generator homepage and select your preferred QR code type. For example, if you want to add an Instagram link to the QR code, click on the 'Instagram' button. Select the 'Text' option to generate a QR code for a text message.

2. Upload your file depending on the selected content format. This can be done in several ways: by dragging it to a special area or selecting it on your device, and when adding a link, by pasting it into the appropriate field.

3. Customize the QR code design if you want to style it to fit your vision. To do this, use the available logos or upload your own, and also add a frame, select the appropriate colors, and write a call to action.

4. Click the 'Create' button. Now you can see what your QR code will look like. If you want to make any changes to the content or design, for example, replace the URL in the QR code or choose other cell colors, this is the time to do so.

5. Click the 'Download' button. In the drop-down menu, choose your preferred file format (PNG, PDF, SVG) and drag the slider to select the optimal size (1024, 2048, 4096 pixels).

Once you complete these 5 steps, you can download QR code to android or iphone. Mobile users can find it in the 'Downloads' folder, while PC or laptop users may be prompted to choose a folder for saving.

This instruction is also suitable for registered GET-QR users. However, if you create a QR code after registration, you will have more options. For example, you can edit the QR code content or design at any time, as well as download QR code on an android phone or iphone again. To do this, log in to your account and click the 'Your QR codes' button. All active codes are stored here, and inactive ones are in the 'Basket' and 'Archive' sections. Simply select the desired code and proceed with any updates, saving, deactivation, or other actions as needed.

As you can see, it is extremely simple to download a QR code on the GET-QR service. The main thing is to follow the clear instructions!
