Brands & QR codes
QR codes turn any physical surface into a clickable link: videos, presentations, packaging, business cards, displays, and livestream slides. AffProf generates a QR code for every short link automatically.
On Pro, you can apply a brand, which is a saved combination of logo and colors, so every QR looks like part of your design system instead of a generic shortener artifact.
Automatic QR codes
Every short link gets a QR code automatically, including on the Free plan.
Reusable brands
Save logo, foreground color, background color, and default selection once.
Scan analytics
QR scans are tracked separately from regular clicks in link analytics.
One link, multiple QR variations
You do not need separate links for separate QR styles. Download multiple QR codes from the same link by switching the brand each time.
- Instagram stories: branded with your YouTube logo and channel colors.
- Printed business cards: black and white, smaller, no logo for low-quality printing.
- Trade show banner: main logo and high-impact colors.
- All variations redirect to the same destination and contribute to the same link analytics.
Tracking QR scans
QR scans count as a separate metric in analytics. AffProf detects when a click came from a QR code and tags it accordingly.
- QR scans: total scans of QR codes for this link.
- Recent clicks: entries tagged as QR.
- Dashboard: total QR-driven traffic across all links.
- Useful for measuring ROI of physical placements and print campaigns.
Common questions
Can I use the same brand for multiple links?
Yes. Brands are reusable. Set them up once, then apply them to any link.
Can I have a brand without a logo?
Yes. Logo upload is optional. You can use colors only.
Why does my logo look blurry?
The logo may be low resolution, or the QR may be displayed too small. Use at least 500 x 500 px for best results.
Will adding a logo make my QR fail to scan?
QR codes have built-in error correction. Branded QRs scan reliably as long as you maintain strong contrast.
Can I use a transparent logo?
Yes, but solid-background PNGs are usually safer, especially with colored QR backgrounds.
My downloaded PNG has a watermark or wrong colors
That should not happen. Contact hello@affprof.com with the link slug and selected brand.
Can I generate QR codes in bulk?
Not yet. QR codes are downloaded one at a time. Bulk QR export is being considered for a future update.
