How to create a QR code in 3 steps

1. Paste your link

Drop in a URL. ShortPen turns it into a short, branded link with a dynamic QR code attached.

2. Customize the design

Add your logo and change the color. Only the look changes, the encoded link stays the same.

3. Download and track

Export as SVG for print or PNG for digital. Every scan is logged automatically with country, device, and referrer data.

Edit your QR code after it's printed

Static QR codes lock you in. If the destination changes, you reprint everything.

ShortPen QR codes are always dynamic. Swap the destination at any time, and the printed code keeps working.

Track every scan in real time

ShortPen logs QR scans separately from clicks, so offline campaigns get measured properly.

See total scans, unique scans, country, device, OS, and referrer. Filter by folder or tag to compare flyers, posters, packaging, or business cards side by side.

Start tracking scans

See what happens after the scan

Scan counts only tell you half the story.

Install the ShortPen Pixel once, define events like Sign Up or Purchase, and link them to your QR codes. Now you see the scan, the click, and the conversion attributed back to the placement that triggered it.
