Greetings! This is a tutorial on making a QR code in Figma. Figma has quickly become a top choice for User Interface (UI) designers worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. Its seamless, stylish, and user-friendly interface has simplified the design process. In this guide, we’ll be examining how to utilize Figma to generate a QR code.
What is a QR Code?
A Quick Response code, or QR code, is a type of barcode that can be read quickly by a cell phone. These are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it into your cell phone.
Let’s Get Started
Before we start, it’s important to note that Figma does not natively support QR code generation. We will have to use a plugin for this. The plugin we will be using is called ‘QR Code Generator’.
Installing the QR Code Generator Plugin
Firstly, you need to install the plugin. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Open Figma.
- Go to the ‘Plugins’ tab on the left menu.
- Click on the ‘+’ icon.
- Search for ‘QR Code Generator’.
- Click ‘Install’.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed the QR Code Generator plugin.
Generating the QR Code
Now, let’s move on to generating the QR code. Here’s how to do it:
- Select the ‘Plugins’ tab on the left menu.
- Click on ‘QR Code Generator’.
- A dialog box will pop up. Input your desired text or URL.
- Click ‘Generate’.
A QR code will be created based on your input. You can now save, share, or print this QR code as you wish.
Customizing the QR Code
You can also customize the generated QR code by changing its color, adding a logo, etc. Simply select the QR code and apply changes as you would any other layer in Figma.
That’s all there is to it! Creating and customizing QR codes in Figma is straightforward, thanks to the QR Code Generator plugin. It’s a simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes.
