/bulk-operations) is where you act on many QR Codes in one pass instead of opening them one at a time. Everything here runs as a background job, so you start it and leave — you get a progress card on the jobs list and an email when it finishes.
It’s a top-level item in the sidebar, with Media Library nested under it.
The jobs list
The landing page is a record of every bulk job the account has run, with four counters across the top: Total (all time), In Progress (now running), Completed (recent), and Failed (needs attention). Each row shows the job name, its type and category, status, a progress bar, when it started, and which user ran it. A finished job that produced a file shows a download control on its own row. A job can take a minute to appear here after you start it, and the page does not refresh itself — reload before concluding that a job failed to queue.Starting a job
New Operation opens a chooser with seven job types, split into the four most used and three further down:
The split matters when you’re deciding which one you want: Update QR Codes changes destinations, Update Details deliberately doesn’t. Renaming a hundred codes won’t touch where any of them point.
Creating QR Codes in bulk
Creation runs as a four-step wizard: Category → Spreadsheet → Settings → Review.1
Pick a category
Bulk creation supports four categories: Website URL, Business Card, Custom Page, and GS1. Every code in a single job shares the category you pick here, so a mixed batch means more than one job.

Download the template, then upload it filled in
Download the sample sheet, fill in one row per QR Code, and upload it back. The uploader accepts CSV or XLSX, up to 10 MB.The template is specific to the category you picked — a Website URL sheet arrives with the columns
name, tags, custom_slug and the destination URL, where a Business Card sheet asks for contact fields. Download it after choosing the category rather than reusing a sheet from an earlier job.3
Choose the settings you want
Everything here is optional — the header says so, and a job runs perfectly well with all five switched off.
4
Name it, check the summary, and start
Job name is optional but worth filling in — it’s what you’ll scan for on the jobs list later, and the default batch names are just a timestamp.Below it, a summary shows the category, the uploaded file, and each of the five settings as On, Off or None, so you can confirm the job before running it. Start generation queues it.
Exporting images in bulk
Download is a three-step wizard — Select codes → Format → Review — and produces a single ZIP. You choose the codes with the same search and filters as the QR Codes list, including selecting everything that matches a filter rather than ticking rows one by one.Media Library
Media Library (/media) is where everything you have uploaded to the account lives, in one place rather than scattered across individual QR Codes.
You can search it, filter by Type and by Source, switch between list and grid, and upload new files directly. The sidebar nests it under Bulk Operations, though it has its own route.
