Animal Crossing New Horizons QR codes allow you to customize your game with new designs. Import your favorite paintings, album covers, memes, and other designs by learning how to scan QR codes and using custom codes at the Able Sisters’ Shop.
With the 3DS’s superior online capabilities, the use of QR codes in the Animal Crossing community saw a dramatic increase with the addition of New Leaf. Many talented artists create their own designs and upload them to game forums to share with the public. You don't know how to scan a QR code into New Leaf? Well, that's the tricky part, as it requires a little bit of effort to unlock the feature. To do so, you'll have to talk to Sable - the brown.
We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite Animal Crossing New Horizons QR codes from around and put them all in one place. Feel free to use any of these to add some flavor to your island or spice up your room. Click the images with the QR codes to make them larger.
Feel free to bookmark this page and check back for updates. We do try and keep this list fresh and up-to-date every week with new QR codes and designs.
How To Scan Animal Crossing New Horizons QR Codes
Before proceeding, we should explain what QR codes are and what they do. Custom designs can be created in New Horizons that can be shared with players via Design IDs or Creator IDs. These IDs are entered on the kiosk in the Able Sister’s shop.
Custom designs made on older Animal Crossing games like New Leaf can be imported into New Horizons via QR Codes. To scan QR codes in the game, you need a few things. First, you will need the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app to access NookLink. You can download it here:
You will need to purchase Nintendo Switch Online service, which is $20/year to use NookLink. Consider this a small investment to make your island look amazing. Sign in to the Nintendo Switch Online app with the same account you use to play Animal Crossing New Horizons.
You will see Animal Crossing New Horizons under Game-Specific Services on the bottom of the screen. Now, go to your Switch and press the minus button on the title screen of New Horizons to open the settings menu.
Enable NookLink from the settings, and you will be able to import custom designs into the game by scanning them on your phone through the Nintendo Switch Online app. Open up New Horizons, and you can use the Custom Designs app on your Nookphone, which costs 800 Nook Miles at the Resident Services building to be unlocked.
Import Custom Designs in Able Sisters’ Shop
For alphanumeric codes, you will need to enter creator codes at the Able Sisters’ shop. There is a kiosk located in the back to do this, but you will again need internet access and a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
After choosing to access the kiosk, a screen will pop up where you can search custom designs by Design ID or by Creator ID. Search through a bunch of creations from one person or search specific Design IDs like the ones listed below with this method.

How To Get The Qr Code Scanner In Animal Crossing New Leaf
|In the Animal Crossing games, you've always been allowed to design your own clothes, signs, carpets, and posters.
In the 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf, however, there's even an option for those of us without any artistic talent.
With the new QR code reader, found in The Able Sisters shop, you can immediately import textures and textiles from other, more talented villagers.
The creator of iOS app QR MyDesign Assistant has borrowed this handy new feature to help you turn any photograph or image into an Animal Crossing-compatible code. Here's how to use it in a few easy steps.
Hat tip to Tiny Cartridge for finding the app.
| Download the free iPhone app QR MyDesign Assistant. You can get it on the App Store here. It isn't made for the iPad, but it still works as intended on a tablet. |
| Choose the 'Convert' tab at the bottom of the screen, then hit the 'Pick' button in the top-right corner.You can choose 'MyDesign' to make a floor, sign, or item of clothing. Or you can choose 'Board' to make a custom face cutout standee. |
| Choose a picture from your iOS photo library. Simple and clear images with not many colours work best. You can then crop the image to import just a specific part of the picture. |
| Here's what it will look like in the game. You can give it a name, and then hit 'to QR' to see your code.Get the code up on the screen of your phone, and then dig out your 3DS. |
| Load up Animal Crossing: New Leaf, head to Main Street, and enter the Able Sisters clothes shop.Now, to gain access to the QR code reader (a.k.a. the sewing machine), you'll need to have befriended Sable. This means talking to her every day for about a week or two (to finally coax her out of her shyness).Once Sable becomes your pal, you'll see a big old machine in the back of the room (like in the screenshot above). |
| Done that? Okay, cool. Use the machine and choose 'Read a QR Code'. You'll also need to choose a spot in your texture library to save the custom design.Then, point the 3DS camera at your phone, and line the QR code up with the frame. |
| And you're done. You'll now have your photo in your design library, and can use it wherever you want.Here, I've stuck a photo of Mario on my town flag. Because why the bloody hell not. |
