Your QR code

Download it, make it yours in the QR studio, and know when it regenerates.

Every Kard carries a QR code from the moment it exists. The code encodes your card's link: point any camera at it and your public page opens. It starts in eKard's own design, and the QR studio lets you make it yours, from one-tap presets to your logo in the middle.

Download it

Open Kards, pick a card, and you land on the Share tab. The "QR code" panel shows the live code with two buttons: "Customize QR", which opens the studio, and "Download", which saves the code as a PNG.

Make it yours in the QR studio

  1. On the Share tab, press "Customize QR".
  2. Start from a preset, if you like: one tap sets the shape, colours and dots, and leaves your logo, label and advanced settings as they are.
  3. Adjust what you want: the "Shape" of the whole code, the "Colours", the "Dots", the "Corner markers" scanners look for, the "Centre" (a logo, or up to 30 characters of text) and a "Label", a caption of up to 60 characters under or over the code. Keep strong contrast between ink and background, so the code stays scannable.
  4. Watch the live preview: it's exactly the code you'll get, and nothing changes until you save.
  5. Press "Save & regenerate". The code is rebuilt and refreshed everywhere it's used.

For your logo in the centre, use the studio's "Your logo file" box: "Add a logo" ("Change logo" once one is set), a square PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF around 512 × 512 pixels, up to 2 MB, then "Save logo". "Remove logo" takes it off. To start over, "Reset to the eKard default" clears every change.

The code you save is the one your printable card and video-call background carry, too (Print your card, A video-call background).

It keeps itself current

You never regenerate the code by hand. If your card's link changes, the stored image is made again with the new link, so whatever you download from the Share tab is up to date. Everyday edits don't touch it: the QR encodes your link, not your content.

Good to know

A printed QR keeps the link it was printed with. After a link change, that old link sends visitors on to your card's new one, as long as no other Kard takes it. Still, download the fresh code before your next print run. The course on your link and your name covers what else a change touches.

Print it everywhere

Scans cost nothing on any plan — the card, the QR, every scan, free — so put the code on signage, packaging, anything that faces the room. And if your card carries documents, each file gets a QR of its own; the course on document links and QRs covers those.
