How to Download and Share Your Chivent QR Code

Every Chivent event comes with a unique QR code. When guests scan it with their phone camera, they go straight to your event page — no app needed, no typing a URL. This guide covers how to download, customize, and share your QR code.

Downloading Your QR Code

Open your event dashboard
Click the QR Code button in the top section of your event page
A popup will appear showing your QR code
Click Download to save it as a PNG image

The downloaded file is named after your event (e.g., qrcode-Sarahs-Wedding.png ) and includes a white border around the code for reliable scanning.

Customizing Your QR Code Design

Want a QR code that matches your event's style? Chivent includes a built-in QR code designer.

In the QR code popup, click Customize Design
This opens the QR code generator where you can:
- Change the dot style (squares, rounded, dots)
- Change the corner style
- Pick custom colors for the code and background
- Add your own logo in the center
- Switch between PNG and SVG download formats
Preview your design in real-time
Click Download when you're happy with the result

SVG format is recommended for print materials — it stays sharp at any size.

Choosing the Right Language

Your QR code links to your event page, which automatically displays in the guest's preferred language. Chivent supports 10+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, and Korean.

Each language comes with a unique URL and page is not limited to a single language. Guests using a different language on their phone will see the page in their own language when available.

At the Venue

Table cards — print the QR code on small cards placed at each table
Welcome sign — display it on a poster or frame at the entrance
Screen display — show it on a TV or projector during the event
Menu or program — include it in printed materials guests already have
Photo booth — place it next to a photo booth so guests upload instantly

Before the Event

Invitations — add the QR code to digital or printed invites
WhatsApp / group chat — share the image directly in your event group
Email — attach the QR code image or paste your event link
Social media — post it in a private group or story

Using the Direct Link

Every event also has a shareable link you can copy from your dashboard. This is useful for:

Sending to guests who aren't physically at the venue
Sharing in messaging apps where scanning a QR code isn't practical
Including in emails or digital invitations as a clickable link

Tips for Better Scanning

Print large enough — the QR code should be at least 3cm x 3cm (about 1 inch) for reliable scanning
Ensure contrast — dark code on a light background works best. Avoid placing it on busy or colorful backgrounds
Test before printing — scan your downloaded QR code with your own phone to make sure it works
Keep the quiet zone — don't crop the white border around the QR code. Scanners need that space

Canva Templates

Chivent provides +20 ready-made Canva templates you can use to create beautiful QR code displays, table cards, and signage. Access these from your event dashboard to quickly design professional-looking print materials with your QR code.
