QR code for your email signature
Paste a link, pick a size, and get a QR code sized for a signature, plus the HTML to put it there. No account. It all happens in your browser, so the link you type is not sent to LinkZae.
Your QR code
Made in your browser. The link you type is not uploaded, and it is gone when you close this tab. Scan the code from a second screen before you roll the signature out.
How to add the code to your signature
- Paste the link above and choose a size. 128 pixels is a sensible start.
- Download the PNG and upload it somewhere with a public web address, such as your website's image folder.
- Copy the HTML, replace YOUR-IMAGE-ADDRESS with the address of the uploaded image, and paste it into the signature editor of your email program. Programs that only take plain pictures let you insert the image from its address instead.
- Email yourself, open the message on a laptop, and scan the code from your phone.
Why the image has to be hosted
A signature image is loaded from a web address each time someone opens your email. That is why the HTML above has a placeholder instead of the picture itself: the picture has to live at an address you control. If you do not have a website to hold it, any file host that gives you a stable public link will do, as long as you keep the file there.
What to point the code at
- One clear action. A booking page, a menu, a portfolio. A signature with five links gives people nothing to do first.
- A page you can change. The code holds the link itself, so a new link means a new code and a new signature for everyone on the team. Pointing it at a page whose content you can edit avoids that.
- Contact details instead of a link. If you want people to save you to their phone, use the free vCard QR code generator and put that code in the signature.
Common mistakes
- Shrinking the code below about 96 pixels to save space. Small codes scan badly from a screen.
- Using a long address with tracking tags. The longer the link, the denser the code. Shorten it first.
- Forgetting the alt text. Some programs block images by default, and the description is what people see.
- Never testing it. Scan the code from a second screen, not from the same device that shows it.
Questions
How do I add a QR code to my email signature?
Make the code here, download the PNG, and upload it to a place with a public web address. Then paste the HTML snippet into your email program's signature editor and replace the placeholder address with the address of your uploaded image.
What size should the QR code be in a signature?
Pick the 128 pixel size to start. The PNG is exported at twice that, so it stays sharp on high-density screens. Send yourself a test email and scan it from another screen before you roll it out.
Is what I type uploaded?
No. The code is drawn in your browser and nothing you type is sent to LinkZae. You choose where to host the downloaded image.
What if my link changes later?
A QR code holds the link itself, so a new link needs a new code. If you point the code at a LinkZae page instead, you can change what the page shows without changing the code.
Want a page the code can point to?
A LinkZae link page gives the code something you can keep editing: your phone number, a booking link, your latest work. The Free plan includes one link page with your logo, a QR code and unlimited links. A small LinkZae badge stays on Free pages; Minimal removes it.
