QR Type Guide

How Should You Use Event QR Codes?

Choose static when the encoded information will never change. Choose dynamic when you need to edit the destination after printing, track scans, pause a campaign, or keep a stable short link while the destination changes.

Best For

Campaigns where the scanner expects a focused destination and you may need analytics, design control, or a destination you can update later.

Not Best For

Cases where another QR type is more specific, such as PDF for files, vCard for contact saving, WiFi for network access, or menu QR for restaurant menus.

Before Printing

Test the final QR at real size, confirm the quiet zone, and use the size calculator when the code will appear on signs, packaging, menus, cards, or other printed material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Calendar Event QR codes. Find answers about compatibility, reminders, and event details.

What is a Calendar Event QR code?

A Calendar Event QR code adds an event directly to the scanner's calendar app. It includes all event details - title, date, time, location, and description - and works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and more.

Which calendar apps are supported?

Event QR codes work with all major calendar apps including Google Calendar, Apple Calendar (iCal), Microsoft Outlook, Samsung Calendar, and any app that supports the iCalendar (.ics) format.

Can I include the event location?

Yes! You can include a full address or venue name. When added to their calendar, the location becomes clickable and opens in maps for easy navigation.

Will attendees get reminders?

Once the event is added to their calendar, attendees will receive the default reminders set in their calendar app. They can also customize the reminder timing.

Can I add event descriptions?

Absolutely! Add detailed descriptions, agendas, dress codes, special instructions, or any information attendees need to know about your event.

Does it work with recurring events?

QR codes work best for single events. For recurring events, consider creating separate QR codes for each occurrence or directing users to a registration page.
