How an event QR code works
An event QR code encodes an iCalendar VEVENT block - the title, start and end time, location, and description. On phones that recognize it, scanning offers to add the event straight to the calendar. It saves your audience from typing details into their phone.
A note on device support
Be aware that add-to-calendar support varies by phone and camera app. Some iPhone and Android cameras handle raw VEVENT data and show an add-to-calendar prompt; others do not. Test on the devices your audience actually uses before committing to a print run. If you need guaranteed compatibility, point a dynamic URL QR at a hosted event page or a Google Calendar link instead - that opens reliably in any browser.
Where event QR codes help
- Posters and invites - scan to save the date; pair with our QR poster guide.
- Conferences and workshops - per-session codes; see QR codes for events.
- Store openings and sales - put the date in everyone's calendar from a flyer.
Add your logo and brand colours to this event code
The download above is plain black on white. In your Scanely account the same code gets your branding, and it stays saved:
- Your logo in the middle of the code (any paid plan)
- Rounded or dotted modules and four eye shapes
- A colour gradient and a frame text under the code
- Saved design templates, reused on every code
- A printable sign, sticker or card PDF with your name on it
- Saved in your dashboard: download it again anytime
A static code still has no scan counts and cannot change after printing. Shapes, gradient, frame text and templates are on the Free plan; the logo is on Starter, Pro, Business and Lifetime.
