Before you start #
Availability and permissions
- Permission to use Tools for the selected workspace. A public destination is required for production printing.
Have these ready
- Choose the published page or public HTTP/HTTPS address you want people to reach. Decide where the code will be printed.
What to do #
- Open Tools → QR Code Generator & Analytics. Choose Create QR Code. Use How does this work? for the in-product guide.
- Name the code. Select the published website homepage, a specific published page, or a custom public destination. Unpublished drafts are not live destinations.
- Optionally add campaign, placement, tags and purpose. Use separate codes for a business card and storefront sign so comparisons have useful context.
- Choose a preset or customize colors, supported module/finder styles, logo, padding and optional frame/label. Keep the required clear margin and sufficient contrast; fix any reliability validation message.
- Save and download PNG at the needed size or SVG. Vector QR geometry stays sharp; an embedded raster logo remains raster imagery.
- Scan the actual downloaded/printed result with more than one device before distributing it. Confirm the destination, UTM fields and any fragment.
What to know #
The QR encodes a permanent HIVE scan URL, not the editable destination. Local/staging codes are test codes and should not be printed for production use.
Logos must stay within the tested limits. Error correction does not permit covering an arbitrary percentage of the image.
What success looks like #
Your saved design reopens consistently and the actual downloaded image scans to the intended public page.
If something goes wrong #
- Low contrast or invalid logo? Use a safer preset, reduce logo size or restore padding. Do not crop away the quiet margin.
