How to Display QR Codes on Android Signage Using PosterBooking

QR codes are one of the fastest ways to connect people from your digital signage to your website, menu, event page, or social media feed. Whether you are a restaurant offering contactless menus, a retail shop running a flash sale, or a campus sharing event check-in links, showing a QR code on your screen makes engagement instant.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to display QR codes on Android signage screens using PosterBooking, the most accessible and free digital signage software in 2025.

What You’ll Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• An Android TV, Fire Stick, or Android media player
• A screen or TV connected to that device
• An internet connection
• A free account on PosterBooking
• A PNG or JPEG file of your QR code (or a link to a QR code you can screenshot)

Step 1: Create or Download Your QR Code

If you don’t already have a QR code:

1. Go to any free QR code generator (such as qr-code-generator.com or qrstuff.com)
2. Paste the link you want to share (menu, offer page, booking form, etc.)
3. Download the QR code as an image file (PNG or JPG)
4. Make sure the image is high resolution and clearly visible

Step 2: Install PosterBooking on Your Android Screen

1. On your Android device (TV, Fire Stick, tablet), open the Google Play Store
2. Search for PosterBooking
3. Download and install the app
4. Open the app, you will see a screen code
5. Leave the app open , you’ll use this code to connect your screen

Step 3: Connect Your Android Screen to PosterBooking

1. Go to posterbooking.com on your browser
2. Sign up for a free account or log in
3. Click Add Screen
4. Enter the screen code shown on your Android device
5. Give your screen a name like “QR Display” or “Storefront Screen”
6. Click Add Screen

Your screen is now connected and ready to display content.

Step 4: Upload the QR Code Image

1. Go to the Content section in the PosterBooking dashboard
2. Click Images / Videos
3. Upload the QR code image file you downloaded earlier
4. Once uploaded, the file will appear in your content library

Tip: You can also combine the QR code with other branding by designing a poster in Canva or Figma and including the QR code as part of that design. Then export it as a single image.

Step 5: Create a Playlist Featuring the QR Code

1. Go to the Playlists section
2. Click Create Playlist and give it a name like “QR Campaign”
3. Click Add Content
4. Select the QR code image

Step 6: Assign the Playlist to Your Android Screen

1. Go to the Screens section
2. Click Add or Edit Playlist next to your connected screen
3. Select your “QR Campaign” playlist
4. Click Save

Your screen will now begin displaying the QR code immediately. Anyone can scan the code directly from their phone and access the link you provided.

Best Practices for QR Code Signage

• Display time: Give each QR code at least 15 to 30 seconds if rotating with other content
• Size: Make sure the QR code is large enough for viewers to scan from a few feet away
• Positioning: Place the code in the center or bottom third of the screen
• Test it: Scan it yourself on screen before going live to ensure it works
