Canva is a design tool loaded with user-friendly features that even non-designers can use. Among the many features it offers, one that stands out is its QR code generator. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of creating your own QR code using Canva.
Step 1: Log in to Canva
First things first, log into your Canva account. If you don’t have one, don’t worry! You can sign up for a free account on Canva’s homepage.
Step 2: Open the Canva Design Page
Once you’ve logged in, click on the Create a Design button located at the top right corner of the homepage. A drop-down menu will appear. Select Custom dimensions.
Step 3: Set the Dimensions
For a standard QR code, a 400 x 400 px canvas is usually sufficient. So, input these values into the width and height fields and then select Create a new design.
Step 4: Search for QR Code
On the Canva design page, navigate to the Elements tab on the left side of the screen. In the search bar, type “QR code” and hit enter.
Step 5: Generate Your QR Code
Click on the first QR code option that appears under the Elements tab. A pop-up window will appear. This is where you’ll input the URL that you want your QR code to link to. Once you’ve entered the link, click Apply.
Step 6: Customize Your QR Code
Now it’s time to make your QR code your own! Canva allows you to change the color of your QR code and add elements around it to make it more attractive.
Step 7: Download Your QR Code
Happy with how your QR code looks? Click the Download button at the top right corner of the screen. Your QR code is now ready to be used wherever you’d like!
Creating a QR code in Canva is as simple as that. Now you can easily generate QR codes that link to your website, social media platforms, or any other online resource!
