Step 4: Click "download"

Clicking"download" will generate your code and create your free account. Pro tip: download your code as a PNG. These look much better on printed products. Now, you can share it with anyone and they will be able to scan it from their smartphone.

Step 5: Be sure to scan it and test that the scan destination is correct

After you've done this, the next step is to test your QR code. Make sure that scanning it leads to the destination that you have in mind. Open your phone camera, scan the code, and tap the link that pops up!

If everything looks good, then you're ready!
