How to make a rick roll QR code
- The YouTube link to Rick Astley's “Never Gonna Give You Up” is already in the box above.
- Change the colour or dot style if you like, or add a ready-made logo so it looks like any other code.
- Download PNG to send or post it, or SVG to print it on a flyer or sticker.
- Scan it once with your phone to check it opens the video.
Where people put them
Keep it harmless. Don't put it where people need a real code, like a parking payment sign or a restaurant table.
- The last slide of a presentation.
- A “scan for the answers” note on a quiz sheet.
- A birthday card or gift tag.
- A group chat, as a picture.
