How to make a GIF QR code

Make a moving QR code that still opens a link, for video covers, menu screens, and campaign pages.

How to make a GIF QR code
On this page

A GIF QR code moves, and the scan still opens the link you entered. It belongs on a screen, not as the only file you send to a printer.

Where to publish it

Video covers, in-store displays, digital menus, and campaign headers. For a printed poster, use an AI QR code or a themed artistic QR code.

How to make one

  1. Decide the address first and keep the link short.
  2. Choose the motion. The finder patterns should stay readable, without a very fast flicker.
  3. Scan the on-screen preview with your phone. Export the GIF only after it opens.

This is not a flash-text GIF. Flash text only animates lettering. This page makes a moving code that opens a link.
