QR code

Generates a scannable QR code for a URL (or any text), with an optional caption and the URL printed underneath.

A Confluence page section headed pull in external data, with a QR code centred below the text and its title, install mobile app today
The code sits in the page like any other block, with its title printed underneath it.
Typing qr after a slash in the editor brings up Capable QR Code, described as Embed QR code for a URL
Type /qr in the editor and pick Capable QR Code to add the macro.

Put a QR code on a page so people can jump from a screen or a printout to a link on their phone - a sign-up form, a video, a support portal, a Wi-Fi string. The code is drawn in the reader's browser, so nothing is sent anywhere to make it. You can size it, align it, give it a caption and recolour it to match your brand.

Every example below is a real macro on this page, not a screenshot, and each one is a configuration taken from a page somebody actually built. Open this page in the editor to see how any of them is set up.

#Settings

The settings are split across two tabs. Content decides what the code says, and Style decides how it looks.

QR code macro with the Content tab showing URL, Title and Show url fields beside a live QR code preview
On the Content tab, the URL is what the code encodes. The title and Show url add text underneath, as the preview shows.
QR code macro Style tab with alignment set to Center, size 175 and a blue QR color, previewing a blue QR code
The Style tab holds alignment, size and QR colour. Check the preview to make sure your colour is still dark enough to scan.

Setting

Values

What it changes

URL

Any web address or text. It goes into the code exactly as you type it, and clicking the code opens it.

What the code contains. Required. Leave it empty and you get a placeholder with "Missing URL" in red instead.

Title

Free text

A bold caption directly beneath the code. Leave it empty for no caption.

Options

A single checkbox, Show URL

When ticked, the URL is printed under the code (under the title, if there is one).

Align

Left, Center or Right

Where the code sits across the width of the macro.

Size

In pixels, from 50 to 1000 in steps of 25. A value outside that range is pulled back to the nearest limit when you leave the field.

The width and height of the code, which is always square.

QR color

A background colour from your brand scheme, or a custom colour if custom colours are allowed on your site. The panel reminds you to keep it dark so the code stays scannable.

The colour of the dark squares in the code. The background is always white and can't be changed, because a light background is what keeps the code readable.
