Can you track Canva QR code scans?

Select your dynamic QR code in Canva, then choose Insights in the toolbar. Canva currently lists scan analytics for Business, Enterprise and Nonprofit plans. Free and Pro users see an upgrade prompt for new codes. Missing Insights does not, by itself, mean a code is static: plan and design permissions also matter.

Check whether you used Canva's Static QR Codes tool, Dynamic QR codes tool, or a third-party app. Third-party codes use that provider's reporting. Canva's static tool has no scan analytics. Source: Canva's QR code help guide, checked 30 September 2026.

If your printed pattern contains the destination URL directly, QRtracer never receives the scan. Creating a tracked code now cannot change those existing flyers. Replace the QR image before the next print run, or cover the old code with a tested replacement sticker.

Your website analytics may show visits to the destination, but an untagged link shared elsewhere cannot reliably separate QR visits from other traffic. QRtracer cannot reconstruct historical scans from a code it did not manage.

1. Copy the published page URL. For a form, use the link respondents open, not the editing link.
2. Paste it into the generator above and select Create a QR code for Canva.
3. Choose Save & track scans. Sign in or create an account if prompted, then wait for the saved code to appear in your dashboard.
4. Download the PNG from that saved code. Do not use an earlier image downloaded without tracking.
5. Upload the PNG into Canva and place it in your design. Keep its blank border intact.
6. Export a proof, print it at the intended size and scan it on two phones before ordering the full run.

Scans from this QRtracer code appear in QRtracer, not Canva Insights. Review QRtracer plans for Analytics access and download options.

Suppose you are promoting the same booking page on a window poster and a table card. Save two codes named booking-window and booking-table, then upload each image to the matching design. Both can open the same page.

If you reuse one code on both designs, its scan count combines the placements. Copying the same QR image in Canva does not create a separate code in QRtracer. Keep a note of which saved code belongs to each design.

Compare activity over the same dates. More scans do not automatically mean a better design: the poster and table card may reach different numbers of people. The scan tracking guide explains how to interpret the dashboard.

Use a dark code on a light, plain background. Resize it proportionally, leave the blank margin clear and keep text or decorative elements outside that margin. A design that scans from your laptop screen still needs a test on paper.

Add a useful label, such as "Scan to book" or "See the menu". Print your proof at the actual size and test it from the distance your visitor will stand. For large artwork, see our SVG QR code guide.

Scan activity tells you a code was opened; it does not establish a booking, order or donation. Check completed actions in your website or booking service. If that service supports campaign tags, use a distinct campaign link for each placement and test that its redirects preserve the tags.

When the campaign changes, you can update the saved code's destination while keeping the same QR image in your Canva design. Scan a printed copy after the change to verify where it leads.
