These scannable images provide a mechanism for players to share custom designs within the Animal Crossing game series. These designs can be anything from clothing patterns and artwork to entire landscapes. Players create these designs within the game’s design editor and then generate a specific image format that can be shared and scanned by other players, allowing for easy distribution of user-created content.

The ease with which users can share these designs fosters a strong sense of community within the Animal Crossing player base. They enable players to personalize their game world beyond the limitations of the initially available in-game content. The ability to quickly obtain and utilize content created by others has significantly enriched the gaming experience for many, saving time and allowing more focus on other aspects of the game. The feature was initially introduced in earlier Animal Crossing titles on the Nintendo 3DS, and has been a popular method for sharing designs ever since.
