The characters
Each one is drawn in your frame colour, with its own little details, and holds your text in a label.
- Cat: pointy ears, whiskers, a pink nose and paws. Lovely for cafés, pet shops and flyers.
- Robot: the code is its screen, with an antenna and glowing lights. Great for tech events, kids' clubs and app downloads.
- Peeking bear: a bear peering over the top of your code with its paws on the edge. Perfect for toy shops, gifts and nurseries.
- Monster: googly eyes and horns, with your words in its fanged grin. For games, parties and stickers.
- Ghost: a wavy little ghost with rosy cheeks. Halloween, spooky trails and fun menus.
- Frog: big bulging eyes and a wide smile. Schools, gardens and anything green.
- UFO: a flying saucer, with a tiny alien in the dome, beaming your code down. Launches and "beam me up" moments.
- Hands: two mittens holding your code up like a sign. Show-and-tell, signage and events.
How to make a cute QR code
- Enter your link, Wi-Fi details or text.
- Open Frame, then Playful, and pick a character.
- Choose a colour for it and write what it should say, like "Scan me!" or "Free Wi-Fi".
- In Style and Shape, try rounded dots and circle corners for a softer code.
- Check the badge says it scans, then download PNG, SVG or a print-ready PDF sticker.
Cute, but still scannable
The characters hold, hug or peek over the code, but never cover it or its clear border, so phones read it as easily as a plain one. Every design is test-scanned as you change it.
Pastel colours are fine for the character. Keep the code itself dark on a light background, and print it at least 2 cm wide.
