How it Works
Scansfer is an application that allows you to send all kinds of information using QR (quick reference) bar codes. You can easily create your own QR codes using our website or mobile app for Android. Others can then scan your QR codes using a bar code scanner app on their phone.
Create a QR Code for your website
If you have a website that you own or simply wish to share with others, a great way to get more visitors is by generating a QR code link to your site, and including it on all of your printed materials (signs, fliers, brochures, t-shirts, etc.). Whenever someone with a mobile phone sees the QR code, they can scan it and will be instantly redirected to your website. Often this is much easier than typing in a long address, and can also be a lot of fun.
To create your own website QR code, simply visit Scansfer.com and click on Link to a webpage. Enter your web page address, and download the QR code. You may even customize it to match your media by changing the size and color.
Tracking: if you use Scansfer to create your website QR codes, you will have the option to enable tracking. This means that every time someone scans one of your QR codes, Scansfer will track it, and provide you with detailed reports showing you how your QR codes are being used. Best of all, this service is offered totally for free!
Send Contact Information
Another great use for QR codes is sending contact information. This is great for business cards, resumes or brochures. If someone wants to save your contact information to their phone all they need to do is scan the QR code, and the information is automatically added to their address book.
To create your own contact QR code, simply visit Scansfer.com and click on Send contact info. Enter your contact details, and download the QR code. You may even customize it to match your media by changing the size and color.
