Design Templates

How to save, apply, rename, and archive reusable QR design templates for your organization.

Design templates let your organization reuse the visual setup from one QR code across other QR codes.

A template stores the QR appearance only. It does not change the QR name, serving domain, default destination, or country-specific destination rules.

What Templates Store

Templates can include:

dot and corner styles
colors and gradients
frame template, frame text, and frame colors
margin and error correction settings
media overlay settings

If a template uses a media overlay, the media file must still be available in the same organization.

Save a Template

Open a QR code in the create or edit flow.

Adjust the QR appearance in the design controls until the preview looks right.

Open Templates and choose Save as template.

Enter a template name that your team can recognize later, then save it.

Use names that describe the campaign, brand system, or placement, such as "Retail shelf talker" or "Event badge".

Apply a Template

Open the QR code you want to design.

Open Templates and choose Apply template.

Pick the saved template and apply it.

Review the QR preview and scan-test the result before publishing or saving live changes.

Applying a template updates only the design fields. Your destination setup stays in place.

Use Templates With Quick Create

Quick create can apply a saved design template while creating a published QR code. This is useful when the destination is simple and the QR should use an established organization design.

Quick create asks for:

default URL
domain
template, or the default look
optional internal name

After GeoQR creates the QR code, it opens the edit screen so you can review the live setup, add country-specific rules if needed, or adjust the design.

Rename or Archive Templates

From Apply template, each saved template includes actions to:

apply it to the current QR code
rename it
archive it

Archiving removes the template from the active template list. It does not change QR codes that already used that design.

Good Template Practices

Keep a small set of approved templates instead of many near-duplicates.
Use high-contrast designs that scan reliably in normal lighting.
Save templates only after a real-device scan test.
Review templates when brand colors, logos, or campaign artwork changes.
Avoid storing temporary experiments as organization templates unless the team needs them again.
