How to create a digital signage QR Code

choose your QR Code type

Step 1

Sign up to TQRCG and choose QR Code type

Log in to The QR Code Generator and select your QR Code type. Use URL QR Codes for landing pages and product information, multi-URL QR Codes to share multiple touchpoints, or PDF QR Codes for downloadable content.

Step 2

Enter your destination URL

Add the URL where you want viewers to go, such as product pages, registration forms, promotional offers, video content, or app download pages.

Step 3

Customize for screen visibility

Design your QR Code with high contrast colors that stand out on digital displays. Add your brand logo and QR Code frames with clear CTAs like “Scan for exclusive offer” or “Scan to learn more.” Ensure the design remains scannable even at a distance.

Step 4

Download in screen-optimized format

Download your QR Code in your preferred format, sized appropriately for your digital display resolution. For large-format screens, export at higher resolutions (at least 1,000 × 1,000 pixels). Name your QR Code by location and campaign for easy tracking.

Frequently asked questions

QR Code size depends on viewing distance. For screens 6-10 feet away, use a minimum of 4 × 4 inches. For large-format displays or billboards, calculate approximately 1 inch of QR Code size for every foot of viewing distance. Always test scannability at the actual location before finalizing.

Yes, QR Codes work on most digital displays. However, some screens with very high refresh rates or certain LED configurations may cause scanning issues. Always test your QR Code on the actual screen where it will appear to ensure consistent scannability.

Always use dynamic QR Codes for digital signage. They let you update the destination URL anytime without changing the QR Code on screen. This flexibility is essential for rotating campaigns, fixing broken links, or updating seasonal content across multiple display locations.

Create separate QR Codes for each display location or use URL parameters to track different screens. The QR Code Generator’s analytics show scan counts by date, time, and location so you can identify which displays generate the most engagement and optimize accordingly.
