QR codes

A QR code that looks like you

Every page comes with a QR code you can restyle: your foreground and background colors, your avatar in the middle. Download it, put it on a poster or a business card or the back of a package, and the scans land in the same analytics as everything else.

Why most free QR generators are a bad idea

Free generators usually hand you a redirect through their domain. That means a third party sits between your poster and your page, and the code stops working the day they change their pricing or shut down. People have had printed runs go dead this way.

Yours points at your own page — your clicked.bio URL, or your own domain once you have set one. Nobody else is in the path.

A QR code is a link someone can put on a physical object. Treat it like a campaign: give it a UTM tag and you will know what the poster actually did.

Where creators use them

  1. Packaging inserts

    A card in the box, pointing at a review request or a repeat-purchase offer.

  2. Events and merch tables

    One code on a sign beats spelling a URL over music.

  3. Print and press

    Magazine features and posters, where nobody types a link.

  4. On-screen

    In a video or a livestream, for viewers watching on a TV.

QR codes are on every plan, including Free. Branded short links are too. See pricing.

Common questions

Can I change where it points after printing?

The code points at your page, and you control what is on the page. So yes — you change the page, not the code. That is the argument for pointing a printed code at a page rather than at a single destination URL.

Will the avatar in the middle break scanning?

No. QR codes carry error correction specifically so a center logo still scans. Test the printed version once at the size you are actually printing.

Do scans show up separately in analytics?

They arrive as traffic to your page. Add a UTM tag to the URL you encode if you want the scans attributed to a specific poster or campaign.
