QR Code Generator PRO: Export QR codes and import into Same-QR

What can and cannot be exported

If you are looking to export QR codes from QR Code Generator PRO, you will find two things in the help centre (as of October 2026): The scan statistics can be downloaded per QR code as CSV, via "Options → Download as CSV". And in the Professional and Enterprise plans, the QR code images can be downloaded together as a ZIP file.

A list of all QR codes with names and destination URLs as CSV is not described there. This does not mean that it cannot exist in your account; check first yourself. If you do not find one, create the list as described below.

• Scan statistics per QR code: CSV, according to the help centre.
• QR code images together: ZIP, according to the help centre in Professional and Enterprise.
• List of all QR codes with destinations: not documented according to the help centre.

Create the list yourself

Open a spreadsheet in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets with three columns: Name, Target URL, Labels. Go through the old account QR code by QR code and copy names and destinations into it. With a handful of QR codes, this is done quickly. Labels are optional, e.g., "Branch North" or "Table tent"; separate multiple ones with a vertical bar (|).

Note the old qrco.de link in a fourth column. It will help you later with the bridge. But delete it before the import so that Same-QR does not read it as a destination.

If you no longer know which printed QR code belongs to which entry: take a photo of the QR code and upload it in Same-QR under “Read a QR image”. Same-QR reads what is in the QR code, i.e. the old short link. Where that short link redirects to, you can see in your old provider’s account.

Prepare the spreadsheet for import

• Header exactly like this: Name, Target URL, Labels.
• Every destination URL completely with https:// at the beginning.
• No additional columns with addresses, so remove the old short link before importing.
• Save as “CSV UTF-8”, then umlauts remain preserved.

Comma or semicolon as separator is recognized by Same-QR automatically. You can download the appropriate template from the dashboard.

Import into Same-QR

In the dashboard, under “Many QR codes at once”, you will find “Import a spreadsheet”. Download the template there, enter your QR codes and upload the file again. The template has three columns: Name, Target URL and Labels. Comma and semicolon both work as separators; separate several labels with a vertical bar (|). Labels that do not exist yet are created during the import. CSV import is part of the Start plan and above.

After uploading, Same-QR shows how many QR codes were created. The number of QR codes is limited by your plan: Marketing Starter 100, Marketing Pro 500, Marketing Expert 2,000.

The easiest way is the migration assistant under Dashboard → “QR codes” → “Move from another provider”: it reads your list as a CSV or Excel file, lets you assign the columns name, destination URL, old short link and labels, and creates the QR codes, as many as your plan allows. Afterwards you download a list “old short link → new Same-QR link”, which is exactly what you need for the bridge. An overview of switching is at sameqr.com/wechseln/en.

Check and next steps

• Sample checks: scan some new QR codes with your mobile phone.
• Bridge: at the old provider, set the destination of each QR code to the new Same-QR link under “Destination”.
• Save scan statistics per QR code at the old provider as CSV.
• New printed materials with Same-QR codes, replacing the old ones gradually.

And if you ever want to switch again: At Same-QR, “Export all” always exports the entire list as CSV, with Name, Destination URL and Labels, in every plan.
