Event QR Code: RSVP, Tickets & Check-In
Create an event QR code so attendees scan to RSVP, add the event to their calendar, or check in at the door. Free, branded, SVG & PNG export for tickets and signs.
How to make a event qr code
1. Pick what the code should do
Decide whether your event QR adds the event to the scanner’s calendar (VEVENT), opens a registration page (URL), or checks attendees in. Each is a different content type — QRForge generates all of them.
2. Enter the event details
For a calendar add, fill in the title, start/end time, location and description. For a registration or check-in link, paste the URL. Keep the payload short for a cleaner code.
3. Brand, export and distribute
Add your colors and logo, choose error-correction level H if you add a logo, then export SVG for print or PNG for screens. Put the code on invitations, tickets, badges and door signs.
Tips for reliable event qr codes
- Use level H when you add a logo so the code stays scannable on printed tickets.
- For calendar adds, include the end time and location so the event shows correctly in the scanner’s calendar.
- Print the code large enough (min 2×2 cm / 0.8 in) and place it at eye level at the check-in desk.
- Test the printed code with both iPhone and Android before the event — don’t discover a broken link on the day.
Frequently asked questions
What does an event QR code do?
It can add the event to the scanner’s calendar (VEVENT format), open a registration/RSVP page, or open a check-in URL — depending on which content type you generate.
Can I track RSVPs or check-ins with a static QR?
A static QR encodes the data directly and can’t count scans. Point it at a registration page that does the counting, or wait for the future paid dynamic tier with built-in scan analytics.
Does the calendar event sync across time zones?
QRForge encodes the start/end as UTC, so the event appears at the correct local time on the scanner’s phone regardless of their time zone.
What size should an event QR be?
At least 2×2 cm (0.8 in) on tickets; 5×5 cm (2×2 in) or larger for door signs so staff can scan it quickly in a crowd.
