How to create QR codes for short links

Short links are simple to enter into a browser's address bar. However, using a QR code to pass a URL is even more convenient.

You can create QR codes for every shortened link and then download them in three different formats: PNG, SVG and PDF.

Note

QR code generation is available in every price plan.
