Once you have an approved University URL, you are able to add ".qr" to the end of any go.txstate.edu/ URL to get a default 128x128 size QR code. That's a bit small if you're intending to use it in print or on a digital sign. To get larger file size QR codes, just add these to the end of your URL:

  • .qr?size=1024
  • .qr?size=512
  • .qr?size=256
