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.

To customize your game even further, check out some Animal Crossing New Horizons custom path designs. You can put down custom paths on your island to create some different unique looking areas.
In past iterations of Animal Crossing, quality custom designs were a hot commodity. You could use them for shirts, hats, flags, wallpaper, and more, but making them well required meticulously coloring each pixel. Furthermore, sharing patterns required that you connect with the friend and give them the pattern. Thankfully, New Leaf now allows you to share patterns by QR code. Even better, by reverse engineering the code, there's already been an iOS app made that can convert images to Animal Crossing designs and can generate a corresponding QR code so that all you have to do is scan it.The app is free, so check it out: QR MyDesign Assistant for Animal Crossing 3DS by Bochen Technology co. Ltd.
If you know of any other programs for PC or online that do the same thing, let me know! And feel free to leave any QR codes you've generated using this app in the comments. Here are the ones that I've made.
Update: An online app for making designs that's in Japanese. (Doesn't do QR codes.) (Link)
Update: An Android version. (Link)
Update: An English downloadable version for PC is now available and in development. (Download (v.0.4 7/9/13), On Reddit)
