Quick start
Create a link, print its QR code and give it a page of its own.
FlashLink turns a long web address into a short link and a QR code. The link can be switched off, changed or limited at any time, and the QR code printed once keeps working.
# 1. Create a link
- Open the console and press + New link.
- Paste the destination address. Add a custom code (optional) and an end date (optional).
- Press Create link. The short link, its QR code and its statistics are ready.
Details: Create a link.
# 2. Take the QR code
Select the link in the list. The QR code appears with SVG and PNG downloads. Press QR design to pick a look made in the QR designs tab: Customise a QR code.
# 3. Give it a page (optional)
A portal is a page of your own that the QR code can open: a picture, a text, buttons, opening hours, a menu, a Wi-Fi password… You compose it by dragging components in the designer: Portals in short.
# 4. Protect or schedule it (optional)
Put a password on a link, open it on a given date, stop it after a number of clicks, or send phones and countries to different addresses: Link options.
Every component of the designer has a ? button that opens its documentation, and every part of the console has one too.
