Event QR Code — scan a poster to register, scan on-site to check in
Paste your registration form, event schedule, e-ticket or check-in link below to generate an event QR code. Match the event's key color, add the event logo, and use PNG for posters or SVG for banners and big screens. Built locally, the link never uploaded, the code never expires.
An event QR code is a URL QR code for an event link — a registration form, schedule page, e-ticket or check-in page — printed on posters, banners, badges or tickets. Prepare the page, paste the link into the generator below, and use it to collect sign-ups before, and to handle check-in and hand out the agenda on the day.

How to make it
- 1Match the code to the stage: teaser posters point to the registration form; confirmations / tickets point to the e-ticket or schedule; the on-site desk points to a check-in link — make a different code per stage rather than one code for everything.
- 2Paste the matching link into the generator below; registration and check-in form links are often long, so shorten them first for faster, more reliable scans.
- 3Switch to the event's key color and add its logo so the code matches the rest of the collateral; on posters, make the code large with margin around it so it scans from a distance.
- 4Use PNG for posters and social graphics; use vector SVG for banners, check-in backdrops and big-screen displays so it stays sharp at any size.
- 5Before registration opens or you set up the venue, test-scan from a realistic distance on several phones (posters often hang high or far) to confirm the link is right and the form submits, then roll it out.
Frequently asked questions
What's the simplest way to do on-site check-in with a QR code?
The easiest: make an online check-in form (name / ID / phone), turn the form link into a code, place it at the desk, and guests scan and fill it in while you watch the list update live. For something more polished, a dedicated event/ticketing system can issue per-person check-in codes, but for small and mid-size events a single form-based check-in code is plenty.
Is the event code on a poster still useful after the event?
The code itself never expires (it's static), but whether its page still exists or registration is still open depends on your link. After the event you can repoint the page to an 'event ended / recap' (if you used a redirect you control) or simply close registration. The code won't break; you control the content.
An event needs lots of codes (register / check-in / schedule) — any tips?
Point them at different sections of your event landing page, or give them all the same brand color and event logo for a consistent set that's easy to manage and looks professional. Test-scan each one individually after creating it — don't batch-generate and print without checking.
