QR codes for artists
A QR code for every artwork.
Put it on wall labels, price cards and posts. Buyers scan it to open the piece: its story, its size and a view of it on their own wall. Plus one code for your whole page, for booth signs and business cards. Free, and ready to print.

View on your wallIt hangs at its real size, so you can see exactly how it fits. No app needed.
A luminous coastal landscape opens from a flower-strewn hillside toward a broad blue bay, with pale houses and red-roofed buildings perched along the rocky shore. Loose, tactile strokes animate the grasses, foliage, water, and expansive sky, while shifting whites and blues suggest sunlight moving across the clouds and distant coastline.
Where artists use it
Anywhere someone falls for a piece: they scan to learn more, see it on their own wall, and come back to it when they’re ready.
Art fairs and open studios
Hang a wall label beside each piece and leave table cards out to take home. Visitors scan to read about the work there and then, and see it on their own wall at home.
Instagram posts
Captions can’t carry links. Add the listing image as the last slide and followers scan it straight from the screen.
Your website
Paste a small HTML snippet under each work, into any site that accepts HTML. Visitors on a computer scan it; on a phone they tap it.
Business cards and price lists
Your page code goes on business cards, booth banners and the card you tuck in with every order; artwork codes go on price lists and catalogues.
Ready to print, post and paste
Every artwork gets all of these. Scan any of the codes below to see what your buyers will see.
Table card
A 4 × 6 in card to hand out or leave on the table, with your title, size and price. Downloads as a print-ready PDF.
Wall label

Better than a plain QR code
Opens the piece, not your homepage
A plain QR code drops people on a homepage to search. This one opens that exact artwork: its story, its size and a view on their own wall.
Never needs reprinting
The code points to a live link. Change the photo or size later and every printed code shows the update.
Yours to switch off
Sold the piece? Turn the link off and scanners see a polite “no longer available”. Turn it on again and the same codes work.
See who scans
With a Bello artist page, every scan shows up in your visitor stats, so you know which pieces people take home.

QR codes for artists, answered
- How do I make a QR code for my art?
- Upload the artwork to your free Bello library, add its width and height, and choose “Share”. You get the code as PNG or SVG, plus a printable wall label and table card, a listing image and a website button.
- What happens when someone scans it?
- They land on that artwork’s page: the piece with its title, size and story, and a “View on your wall” button that hangs it on their own wall in AR.
- Can I have one QR code for all my work?
- Yes. Once your Bello page is published, you get a page QR code with a printable booth sign and business card. It opens your page with every piece, your links and your shop, and keeps working if you change your Bello address.
- What should the QR code on my artwork link to?
- Somewhere that helps the sale. A link to your homepage makes people search for the piece; a Bello code opens that exact artwork, with its story and size, and lets them see it on their own wall, which answers the question buyers keep asking: will it fit?
- Can I put a QR code next to my art at an exhibition?
- Yes, that is what the wall label is for. It carries the title, size and price next to the code, with three short steps so visitors know what scanning does.
- Can I use it on Etsy?
- Check Etsy’s current Seller Policy first: Etsy does not allow QR codes or links that lead to purchases off Etsy. The wall preview has no checkout, but decide for your own shop.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Artwork codes, wall labels, table cards, listing images, the website button and your page code with its sign and business card are all free.
- Do my buyers need an app?
- No. Their phone camera reads the code, and the AR view is built into iPhone, iPad and most Android phones.
Your first code takes two minutes.
Upload a piece, add its size, and download the label. Curious how the viewing side works? See the wall art visualizer.
