Bookletty

Publishing & QR codes

Bookletty lets you publish any booklet to a public URL. Customers can then scan a QR code to view the live booklet on their phone, in their own language.

How to publish

  1. Open a booklet in the editor
  2. Click Share in the header
  3. Choose:
  4. Public URL — anyone with the link can view
  5. QR code — generated automatically, linked to the URL above

The URL looks like bookletty.com/share/your-booklet-slug. You can change the slug to something memorable.

Languages on the public page

The share page auto-detects the visitor's browser language and shows the matching translation. A language switcher lets them pick any other translation you've published.

This means a single QR code works for a German tourist, a Japanese business traveler, and a Spanish-speaking family — each sees the booklet in their language without you doing anything extra.

Printed QR codes

When you download a PDF of your booklet, a small QR code is printed in the footer automatically. Scanning it opens the same public URL, letting customers continue in their phone after picking up a physical copy.

The footer also includes a multilingual "scan to read in your language" hint in 20 languages, rotating through them as a visual cue.

Privacy of shared content

Share pages have <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> set — they won't appear in Google search results. This is intentional: your booklet is visible to anyone with the link, but it won't be discoverable by strangers through search engines.

If you want your booklet findable in search — that's a different product, and we'd love to hear your use case.

Unpublishing

To take down a published booklet, open it and click Share → Unpublish. The public URL immediately stops working, and the QR code in any already-printed PDF will land on a "not found" page.

WiFi QR codes

Separately from publish QR codes, you can embed a Wi-Fi QR on many templates. Guests scan and their phones auto-connect to your Wi-Fi — no more typing long passwords.

This is independent of publishing: the Wi-Fi QR works inside PDF output regardless of whether the booklet is published online.
