Fill in the Details

Name

Label your QR code so you can find it later in your dashboard. Think of this as your QR code's nickname.

Organize your QR codes by assigning them to a project. You can also create a new project here.

Content

According to your selection (text, vCard, Event, etc.), input relevant details.

Style Your QR Code

Now let’s bring your QR to life!

Style

Choose a general shape style for your QR modules (the little blocks that make up the code). From minimalist dots to playful patterns, select one that fits your brand or personality.

Inner Eye Style

This controls the style of the small boxes inside the three large positioning squares.

Outer Eye Style

This adjusts the borders of the same three corner boxes. Customize the look for maximum visual appeal.

Customize with More Flair

Below the style options, you’ll find a set of advanced customization tools:

Colors

Add your brand colors or match your aesthetic. Customize:

  • Background color

  • Foreground (QR block) color

  • Eye color (inner and outer)

Frame

Add a stylish frame or border around your QR code with optional call-to-action text like “Scan Me.”

Branding

Insert your logo or icon into the center of the QR code for instant recognition. Keep it simple to maintain scanability.

Options

Fine-tune technical settings such as:

  • Margin spacing

  • Quiet zone

  • Error correction levels (helps QR codes remain scannable even when slightly damaged)

Generate & Export

Once you’re happy with how your QR code looks:

Print: Send it directly to your printer. Perfect for flyers, posters, packaging, or name tags.

Download: Choose your preferred file format (PNG, SVG, etc.) and resolution for digital use, embedding, or large print.

Create: Click the Create button at the bottom to save your QR code to your Heyy account.

Embedded Data

This section shows what your QR code contains. Always test your QR code with a scanner before using it live to make sure everything works as expected.

Green status = Good to go!

Pro Tips for Better QR Codes

  • Keep it simple: Overly complex QR designs may look cool but risk being unreadable.

  • High contrast = High success: Use dark codes on light backgrounds.

  • Test before launching: Always scan your QR using multiple devices and apps.

  • Stay on brand: Use logos, brand colors, and frames to keep everything cohesive.

  • Use short links: If linking to URLs, use shortened links for quicker loading and more reliable scanning.

With the Heyy QR Code Generator, you're not just making codes—you’re designing interactive brand assets. Whether you're leading a marketing campaign, personalizing an invite, or organizing digital menus, your QR code can now do more than ever, and look fantastic doing it.

Have fun with it. Stay creative. Stay readable.
