How it works
Four simple steps from idea to a scannable, print-ready code.
STEP 1
Choose a type
Website, DOI, article, survey, ORCID, reference page, and more.
STEP 2
Customize & preview
Colors, style, logo, and resolution with a live preview.
STEP 3
We verify readability
Contrast is checked and the code is decoded before download.
STEP 4
Download & use
PNG, SVG, or high-resolution files ready for posters.
Make your poster interactive
Link your audience to full reference lists, datasets, surveys, and supplemental materials. Download high-resolution codes sized for large-format printing with a proper quiet zone.
