How to Create QR Codes with PhotoBiz

Overview

PhotoBiz makes it easy to create QR codes you can use to share links with clients, leads, and website visitors. QR codes are useful for sending people directly to forms, galleries, pages, blog posts, special offers, booking links, and other online resources.

This guide explains how QR codes work in PhotoBiz and where you can create or use them. You will learn how to generate a QR code from a shareable PhotoBiz link, download it, and use it in your marketing materials.

What Is a QR Code?

QR codes are a simple way to help people open a link from their phone without typing a web address. You can use QR codes for many PhotoBiz workflows, including:

Contact forms
Giveaway or contest entry forms
Mini session signup forms
Client Gallery events
Website pages
Blog posts
Scheduling pages
Pricing or information pages
Special promotions
Printed marketing cards
Flyers, posters, and signage

Prerequisites

Before creating a QR code, make sure the page, form, gallery, or link you want to share is active and ready for visitors.

If you are creating a QR code for a form, review the form first to make sure the questions, confirmation message, and notification settings are correct.

If you are creating a QR code for a Client Gallery event, confirm the event is active and has an expiration date set.

PhotoBiz QR Code Options

PhotoBiz offers multiple QR code tools depending on what you want to share. The best option depends on whether you want to create a QR code for a general link or for a specific item inside your PhotoBiz account.

Which QR Code Option Should You Use?

Use the public PhotoBiz QR Code Generator when you want to create a QR code for any general link. This is the best option for website pages, blog posts, booking links, pricing pages, external links, and other public URLs.

Use the Client Galleries QR code option when you want to share a specific Client Gallery event from your PhotoBiz account.

Use the Forms QR code option when you want someone to open a PhotoBiz form or contract.

Use the Marketing QR code option when you want to share a sent or shareable email marketing campaign.

Best Practices for Using QR Codes

Always test your QR code before sharing it. Scan it with your phone and confirm that it opens the correct page, form, gallery, campaign, or link.

Use a clear call to action near the QR code so people know what they are scanning. For example:

Scan to book your session
Scan to view your gallery
Scan to enter the giveaway
Scan to complete your contract
Scan to read our latest newsletter
Scan to view our pricing guide

Make sure the QR code is large enough to scan easily, especially if you are using it on printed materials. Avoid placing QR codes over busy backgrounds or too close to the edge of a design.

For time-sensitive offers, confirm that the destination link is still active before printing or distributing the QR code.

Helpful Notes

If the destination page or content remains active at the same link, the QR code will continue to work.

If the destination is deleted, unpublished, expired, or moved to a different link, the QR code may stop working or may not show the intended content.

For printed materials, test the final printed version before giving it to clients or displaying it publicly.
