Generate a QR code for your flipbook in Flipsnack
- Select the flipbook you want to generate a QR code for and click on Overview.
- Then select the QR code option. Keep in mind that you’ll be able to generate a QR code only for your published flipbook.
- Add your brand’s logo. And you can download your flipbook’s QR code as a JPG, PNG, or SVG image.
- Make sure to print it at your trusty print studio and you’re all set.
How long do QR codes and links stay active?
Your flipbook’s QR code and links point to your published flipbook. They remain active and will open the flipbook for as long as the flipbook is published and available in your Flipsnack account. If you unpublish or remove the flipbook, its QR code and links will stop working.
An active premium subscription is required to keep flipbooks available online. Maintaining your subscription keeps your published flipbooks accessible via their QR codes and links.
Tip: If you need a permanent copy of your flipbook that works without an active Flipsnack account, you can download your flipbook in HTML5 format (available with the Business plan). An HTML5 export will continue to work indefinitely, so export your flipbook in HTML5 before unpublishing or removing it if your readers still need access.
If scanning a QR code or opening a link fails, verify that the flipbook is still published in your account.
Other contexts when QR codes come in handy:
- In their stores, people can just browse information about the products they want and buy while being in there, or add those products to wishlists directly connected to shop assistants, to personalize the shopping experience.
- In their offices so employees have instant access to training materials,
- In their hotel rooms, they put it in a display holder, and the guests can scan it.
As you can see, there are many ways to use your flipbook's QR code engagingly and easily.
