MaiImg QR Code Sharing Guide

QR codes transform static image sharing into an interactive, trackable experience. Instead of emailing large image files or posting them to uncontrolled platforms, drop a QR code and let recipients scan for instant access.

The Complete QR Sharing Workflow

Phase 1: Prepare

• Select and optimize images (compress if needed for fast mobile loading)
• Organize images by audience or campaign

Phase 2: Upload

Go to maiimg.com and upload your images. Supports batch upload (up to 25 files) of PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF formats.

Phase 3: Configure

Set access controls per image:

Setting	Default	Adjust When
View limit	Unlimited	Restricting to specific audience
Expiration	None	Time-sensitive campaign
Download	Allowed	Protecting copyrighted images

Phase 4: Generate QR

QR codes are auto-generated for every upload. Download the QR code image for use in:

• Print materials (flyers, posters, business cards)
• Digital presentations (slides, emails, social media)
• Physical products (packaging, signage, labels)

Phase 5: Distribute

Place QR codes where your audience will encounter them. The recipient scans with their phone camera — no app needed — and the image opens in their browser.

Phase 6: Track

Monitor engagement through MaiImg’s dashboard:

QR Code Placement Strategies

High-Traffic Print

• Posters in public spaces — large QR, prominent call to action
• Handouts at events — small QR, paired with brief description
• Product packaging — medium QR, explains what the scan reveals

Digital Channels

• Email signatures — link to portfolio or latest product image
• Social media posts — “Scan for the full gallery”
• Presentation slides — audience scans during the talk

Physical Spaces

• Retail displays — QR links to detailed product photos
• Gallery walls — QR links to high-res artwork or artist bio image
• Real estate listings — QR links to property photo tour

Multiple Images, One Strategy

For campaigns with multiple images, consider these approaches:

Individual QR codes per image — maximum tracking granularity, but more codes to manage

Gallery QR code — one QR that links to a page with multiple images (if your platform supports it)

Sequential QR codes — users scan a series of QR codes to reveal a story or product lineup

Advanced: QR Codes with Access Controls

For controlled distribution:

1. Time-limited reveals — set expiration to create urgency (“Scan by Friday for exclusive preview”)
2. Limited-access drops — set view limit to create scarcity (“First 100 scans get access”)
3. Protected content — disable downloads for copyrighted or exclusive images

Measuring QR Campaign Success

Key metrics from MaiImg’s tracking:

Metric	What It Tells You
Total scans	Overall reach
Scans per day	Campaign momentum
Peak scan time	When your audience is most active
Device types	Optimize image sizes accordingly
Geographic distribution	Where your audience is located

Use these metrics to iterate on QR placement, timing, and content for future campaigns.
