This walkthrough creates the simplest possible QR code — a Quick Code that redirects to a website URL — from a fresh login to a published, scannable code.
1

Log in

Go to your Scanova login page and sign in with your email and password (or Google/SSO). You land on the Overview dashboard at /overview.
2

Open the Create QR Code hub

Click Create QR Code at the top of the sidebar, or navigate to /qr/create. This hub presents three starting points as cards:
Create a new QR code hub page showing three cards: AI Studio (marked Upgrade), Build a Page, and Quick Code, plus a Continue editing section with draft QR codes

The Create QR Code hub with AI Studio, Build a Page, and Quick Code cards

  • AI Studio — describe a page and let AI generate it (see AI QR / AI Studio; this card shows Upgrade rather than Start on plans that don’t include it).
  • Build a Page — the block-based landing page builder, starting from a template or blank canvas.
  • Quick Code — a direct QR code for a URL, phone number, email, Wi-Fi, or plain text, with no landing page.
For this walkthrough, click Start on the Quick Code card.

Pick a Quick Code type

Quick Code opens a grid of direct-action types — Website URL, Google Maps, App Store, App Deep Link, and GS1 support Dynamic QR codes, while Phone Call, Email, Text Message, Wi-Fi, Plain Text, Event Calendar, and Contact Card are Static-only.

The Quick Code type picker

Click Configure under Website URL. This opens the form at /qr/quick/url.

Fill in the URL

Enter the destination address in the URL field (the https:// prefix is fixed, so type just the rest, e.g. example.com).

The Website URL form with the URL field filled in

Leave Dynamic selected (it’s the default and recommended) so the code stays editable and trackable after publishing. A Short URL slug is generated automatically — you can keep it or change it before publishing, since it can’t be edited afterward.
5

Publish

Click Publish in the top-right. A drawer opens with a live preview of the QR code and an editable name — rename it here if you want something more specific than the default. Click Publish again in the drawer to confirm.
A Published confirmation appears with the final QR code, its short URL, and quick actions.

What you get

The published code redirects instantly to the URL you entered — there’s no landing page to design, since Quick Codes are direct-action. From the confirmation drawer you can download the QR image, copy or share its short URL, or open Edit Design to restyle the code’s colors and frame. The code itself now appears in QR Codes in the sidebar, where you can search, tag, or move it into a folder.
If you’d rather build a branded landing page instead of a direct redirect, see Quick Code vs. full Page for how to choose, and the Page Builder overview for the block-based editor.

Creating one via the API

The same Website URL QR code can be created through the API using category ID 1 (labeled Website URL). See Create QR Code for the full request schema.
