QR Cake generator
Make an event QR code for your invitations, posters, tickets, and signs. One scan opens a mobile page with the date, time, and venue, an "Add to calendar" button for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, and your links to tickets, RSVP, or registration.
Loading the QR code maker
Choose the Event type and enter the event name and the start date and time, the only required fields. Add an end time, the location, a short description, and link buttons for tickets, RSVP, or registration, or leave those blank and add them once they are confirmed.
Match the code to your artwork with colors, dot and corner styles, a logo in the middle, and a frame with a call to action, then pick the event page's colors and font. Save it to a free QR Cake account and download a PNG, JPEG, or WebP (2048 px) or an SVG that scales cleanly from a ticket to a banner.
Put the code on your invitations, posters, tickets, and signs. If the date, venue, or a link changes, log in to QR Cake, edit the event, and save. Every printed copy shows the update on the next scan, right through to post-event follow-up.
Save-the-date cards: print the code once the date is set, then add the venue, schedule, and RSVP link as they are confirmed.
Event posters and flyers: one scan shows the date, time, and venue, and a couple of taps save the event to the reader's calendar.
Conferences and festivals: print the code on posters, badges, and programs, link it to registration, then add the agenda and venue map on the day.
Wedding invitations: share the ceremony time, reception venue, and an RSVP link, and update anything that changes.
Webinars and online events: people save the session to their calendar, and you add the join link to the page once you have it.
Pop-up shops and openings: put the code in a window or on a sandwich board so passers-by save the date on the spot.
Recurring classes and meetups: keep one printed code on the door or bulletin board and update the date after each session.
Post-event follow-up: after the day, edit the same page to link to a feedback survey, photos, or next year's sign-up.
Organizers print one event code on posters, name badges, and signs, with link buttons for the schedule, venue map, and registration. On the day, the page can carry agenda and wayfinding links, and afterward it can point to session recordings and a feedback survey without a single reprint.
Couples add a code to save-the-dates and invitations so guests get the ceremony time, reception venue, and RSVP link in one scan, and save it straight to their calendar. If a detail changes, the printed invites stay correct because the page updates.
Promoters put the code on posters, flyers, and tickets so fans can save the date and reach the lineup, set times, and ticket page. Because the code is dynamic, a poster can move from early-bird to general sale to a sold-out waitlist behind the same printed pattern.
Hosts share a code in slides, emails, and social posts that adds the session to the attendee's calendar and links to the join URL once it is ready. Times are not converted between time zones, so for a global audience put the time zone in the description.
Clubs, churches, and charities print a code on bulletin boards and flyers for fundraisers, meetups, and recurring classes. The same printed code can be updated with the next session's date each time, so a single sign keeps working across a whole season of events.
Shops, bars, and venues promote openings, tastings, and pop-ups with a code in the window or on table tents. Passers-by save the date on the spot, and with a separate code per location, Pro and Business scan analytics show which spot drew the most scans.
When someone scans an event QR code, their phone opens a mobile event page rather than a raw calendar file. The page shows the event name, the date and time, the location (one tap opens it in Google Maps), and your description. The "Add to calendar" button opens a short menu: Google Calendar and Outlook open a pre-filled event ready to save, and Apple Calendar downloads a standard .ics file, the format most calendar apps can import. Below it, your link buttons send people on to buy a ticket, RSVP, or register. The aim is to get the event saved and the next step taken before the person walks away from the poster.
Because every QR Cake event code is dynamic, you can start promoting before every detail is settled. Print a save-the-date once you know the date, then add the venue, description, and ticket or registration link from your dashboard as each one is confirmed. The flyers, banners, and badges already out in the world show the new details on the next scan. If the start time moves, the room changes, or you sell out and open a waitlist, you edit the page once and every printed copy of the code follows.
One code can also carry an event from announcement to follow-up. Before the day, it sits on invitations and drives registrations. On the day, you can add link buttons for the agenda, the floor plan, or the live stream. Afterward, edit the page to thank people and link to a feedback survey, photos, or next year's sign-up. Scans pass through a short QR Cake link, so on the Pro and Business plans you can see how many people scanned each code, when, from which country, and on what device. That shows which printed pieces drew the most interest.
| Event QR (QR Cake) | Static QR | |
|---|---|---|
| Shows date, time, and venue on a page | Yes, on a hosted mobile event page | Only if you hand-build and host the page yourself |
| Add to calendar from the scan | Yes: Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook | Only if calendar data is encoded, and phone support varies |
| Update the date, venue, or ticket link after printing | Yes, edit once and every printed code updates | No, the destination is locked into the pattern forever |
| Scan analytics | On Pro and Business: scans, time, country, device | No, the phone opens the URL directly, nothing to count |
| Best suited to | An event whose details evolve from save-the-date to follow-up | A permanent link that will never change |
An event QR code is a QR code that opens a mobile event page when scanned. The page shows the event name, date and time, and venue, with an "Add to calendar" button and link buttons for tickets, RSVP, or registration. QR Cake event codes are dynamic, so you can print yours before every detail is settled and change the date, venue, or links later without reprinting a single flyer.
The QR type is already selected. Add your content, style the code, then save it to a free account to get a dynamic QR code you can update anytime.
Make an event QR codeTheir phone opens a QR Cake event page that shows the event name, date and time, and venue. An "Add to calendar" button saves it to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, and your link buttons take people to tickets, RSVP, or registration, so nobody has to type anything in. On the free plan, a short QR Cake page with a brief ad appears for a few seconds first.
Choose the Event type in QR Cake, enter the event name and start date and time, style the code, and save it to a free account. The end time, location, description, and link buttons are optional and can be added later. Then download the code as PNG, SVG, JPEG, or WebP and put it on your invitations, posters, or tickets. It works as soon as it is saved, and you can edit the event from your dashboard at any time.
Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Tapping "Add to calendar" opens a menu with all three: Google Calendar and Outlook open a pre-filled event ready to save, and Apple Calendar downloads a standard .ics file, the format most calendar apps can import. The event name, date and time, location, and description carry over, and reminders follow the visitor's own calendar settings.
Yes. Add a link button to the event page and point it at your registration, RSVP, or ticketing page, such as Eventbrite, a Google Form, Ticket Tailor, or your own site. QR Cake does not sell tickets or collect RSVPs itself; it sends people to the service you already use. You can change that link later, for example from early-bird to general sale to a waitlist, without touching the printed code.
Yes, it is free, and no, it does not expire. QR Cake's free plan includes up to 5 dynamic QR codes with unlimited scans and no credit card, and a saved code keeps working as long as your account exists. Editing the date, venue, or links is included. On the free plan, each scan shows a short QR Cake page with a brief ad before the event page opens; any paid plan, from $2.99 a month, removes it.
Yes. Log in to QR Cake, edit the event, and save: every printed flyer, poster, and ticket shows the new details on the next scan. That also means you can print a save-the-date before the venue or ticket link is confirmed and fill them in later. One catch: anyone who already added the event to their calendar keeps the old entry, so tell registered guests about the change directly.
No, not automatically. QR Cake shows the date and time exactly as you enter them, without converting between time zones, and the calendar entry is saved at that same clock time in the visitor's own zone. That works for an in-person event, where most people scanning are in the same time zone as the venue. For a webinar or online event with a global audience, write the time zone in the description (for example, "7 pm London / 2 pm New York") so people in other zones can adjust the entry.
Yes, on the Pro and Business plans. QR Cake's scan analytics show total scans, scans over time, country, device type, operating system, browser, and busiest hours for each code. If you make a separate code for each channel, such as one for posters and one for the email invite, you can compare two codes side by side and see which one drew more scans. The free and Basic plans do not include analytics.
