### **What is a QR code?**

A QR or “quick response” code is a type of barcode you can scan with your mobile device’s camera to instantly open up a link on your device's browser. Creating a QR code for an ActBlue contribution form allows you to put a donation link anywhere that you could paste an image: flyers, yard signs, business cards, and more! 

---

### **How do I download a QR code from my Dashboard?**

To download a QR code from your Dashboard, start by navigating to your **Contribution Forms **tab. 

Next, identify the form you'd like to download a QR code for and then click the three grey dots under **Actions**. From the dropdown options provided, click **Download QR Code**:

![A spreadsheet of form links, there is a column labeled actions that shows three dots when hovered over that have been clicked for one row, displaying a drop down menu. On this menu Download QR code is highlighted.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/FormFeatures/QR+Codes/QR1_Dropdown.png)

This will load a new pop-up window which will prompt you to name and save your QR code on your computer. Once you've named the file and saved it where you intended, click the blue **Save **button: 

![A file save pop-up with an arrow pointing to the save button.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/FormFeatures/QR+Codes/QR1_Download.png)

Your downloaded QR Code should look something like this and will automatically save as a .PNG file (making it easier for you to add it to any existing fliers, images, etc):

### **How do I download a QR code from the form editor?**

To download a QR code from the form editor, start by navigating to your **Contribution Forms **tab. 

Next, click to open the form you'd like to download a QR code for. Once the form is open, select the **Download QR Code **button at the top of the page: 

![The header bar on an open form in form builder with the Download QR code option highlighted.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/FormFeatures/QR+Codes/QR3_FormBuild.png)

This will load a new pop-up window which will prompt you to name and save your QR code on your computer. Once you've named the file and saved it where you intended, click the blue **Save **button: 

![A file save pop-up with an arrow pointing to the save button.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/FormFeatures/QR+Codes/QR1_Download.png)

Your downloaded QR Code should look something like this and will automatically save as a .PNG file (making it easier for you to add it to any existing fliers, images, etc): 

![A QR code with an ActBlue chat icon in the middle.](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/FormFeatures/QR+Codes/ATSQRCode.png)

---

### **Where can I use my QR code?**

You should be able to use your QR like any regular image, meaning it can easily be added to a flier, email, website, or any other location that allows you to upload an image. 

To test your QR code, simply open your phone or device's camera and point it at the code. This should automatically trigger a hyperlink to pop up on your camera. Tap on this hyperlink to be automatically redirected to your contribution form.  

---

### **Where can I view my QR code's stats?**

Once you’ve generated a QR code for a contribution form, you'll be able to view how many donors used it to contribute by opening up your form and clicking the **Stats **button at the top of the page.

From the **Stats **page, you'll want to specifically look at numbers generated under the **QR Code **refcode as show in the example below:
