How To Generate CapCut QR Codes

Lee Stanton March 15, 2024

CapCut recently integrated a QR code generator into its subscription, making sharing your videos and other digital content easy. Instead of using a link, your audience only needs to scan the QR code with their smartphones to view your content. You’re in the right place if you’re unfamiliar with CapCut QR codes. This article explains everything you need to know.

Types of CapCut QR Codes

CapCut can generate two types of QR codes: dynamic and static.

CapCut dynamic QR codes allow you to edit and update the content you’ve embedded without creating a new QR code. Although these codes work similarly to static codes, they redirect you to an intermediary link before taking you to the content. However, this happens behind the scenes; you won’t notice anything while scanning.

Besides being editable, dynamic codes can store more data in different forms. They also provide performance tracking for QR codes, including scan count and scan locations.

CapCut static codes have more complex patterns and offer a fixed use case once created. Consequently, you can’t edit the QR code after embedding your content. Additionally, these codes have limited space, and embedding a large file can lead to congested patterns that take a long time to scan.

How to Generate QR Codes on CapCut

If you already have CapCut on your PC, you can follow these steps to generate CapCut QR codes:

On your CapCut home page, navigate to the left side panel and type QR codes in the search bar. This will display all the available QR code templates.
Select the desired QR code template to open it on the dashboard.
Customize your QR code to match your preferences and give it a visual appeal. You can customize the following elements:
- Size: Select the QR code and drag the corners inwards or outwards to reduce or increase the size, respectively.
- Text: Tap the Text icon in the toolbar to the left and select a text box. This will allow you to add text to your CapCut QR code.
- Color: Select the Color option to pick a color that blends well with your content’s theme. If you’re using a mixture of colors, tap the Color picker and enter the hex code or select the colors manually.
- Logo: To add your logo to the QR code, tap the Import button on the left-hand side of the screen. Next, select the logo from your device’s files and drag and drop it into the QR code. Be sure to minimize the logo to a reasonable size so the QR code remains visible.
Download your QR code as a scalable vector file, a high-resolution image, or a PDF.

Uses of CapCut QR Codes

Instead of importing QR codes from third-party tools, you can generate them within CapCut and embed your video link. This is convenient when you want to do the following:

Show more content: If your video is lengthy, you can create a short preview and attach a QR code with the link for the full video. This makes your content easy to share and accessible from any device.
Share educational resources: You can link to supplementary materials using video QR codes, elevating your audience’s learning experience.
Promote products: You can use the QR codes to redirect your viewers to your products. This can help boost conversion and engagement.

You can use one of the best CapCut templates and embed your QR code in it for future use.

Make Your Content More Accessible

Over time, CapCut has evolved to become a versatile tool. You can use it to edit your videos and generate QR codes that are easier to share than links. You can find multiple QR code template designs and customization features to make the codes easily noticeable and scannable.

FAQs

Why can’t I find QR code templates in my CapCut?

CapCut has free and subscription versions. The free version has limited access to some features, including a QR code generator. If you can’t find QR code templates, you can check if your CapCut subscription is up-to-date.

How long will my CapCut QR code remain valid?

Your CapCut QR code will remain valid forever. However, if the link embedded in the QR code becomes invalid, the QR code will become dysfunctional. For instance, if you link the QR code to a promotional offer with an expiration date, the code won’t display the intended content if scanned after the last date.

Do I need an internet connection to scan CapCut QR codes?

Technically, you don’t need an internet connection to scan a QR code that stores data like contact information or Wi-Fi configuration. However, if the QR code embeds a link to online content, such as a URL, you’ll need an internet connection to retrieve and display the content.

What’s the perfect size for my CapCut QR code?

Although there’s no standard size requirement for a CapCut QR code, a size of around 2 cm x 2 cm or 3 cm x 3 cm makes the QR code visible and scannable. However, it would help if you also considered the scanning distance and the medium on which the code will be displayed to determine the perfect size.
