How to generate a QR code for a web app

Div-idy documentation Updated

Use See It Live → Make QR Code for the project’s standard Home-page link. If you enabled an app link, Publishing → Install as an app also offers Download QR code for that saved app address. Scan the downloaded image before sharing it.

Prepare the destination first

Open the project and select Home. Use Publishing to make that page live, then open its live link and check the content. The built-in QR download points to Home even when you were editing another page. If only a child page is published, publish Home before using this project QR code, or create a separate code for the exact child-page URL.

Download the QR image

Open the See It Live menu and select Make QR Code. The browser downloads qr_code.png. If no download appears, check the browser’s download controls and try again. Rename the downloaded file descriptively so you can match it to the correct project later.

Place the image and scan a proof

Add the PNG to a flyer, sign, presentation, or other material. Preserve its square shape and keep the pattern clear. Before producing the final material, scan a proof at its intended size using a phone camera. Confirm that the browser opens your project, the text is readable on mobile, and the main action works. A successful image download is not a substitute for this end-to-end check.

Use a different destination when needed

For a contact page, event signup, campaign address, or custom domain, first open and copy that exact live address. The built-in Home-page QR action has no destination selector. Use that exact URL in a QR tool that supports a chosen destination, then repeat the scan test. Give the printed material a clear label, such as “Scan to calculate your quote,” that matches the page people actually receive.

Keep the printed link useful

The QR image stores an address, not a frozen copy of your app. Publishing updated Home-page content can change what existing printed codes show without reprinting the image. Making Home private prevents visitors from opening it. Check the destination again after changing the project’s address or publishing choices. A QR code does not make an unlisted page confidential; anyone who can scan or photograph the code can obtain its link.
