Where to use a QR code
Menus and flyers
Point a printed QR code to your menu, price list or event page so people can open it on their phone.
Packaging and labels
Link a product box to the manual, a setup video or the page where customers register their purchase.
Slides and business cards
Let an audience scan your slides, your profile or a sign-up form instead of typing a URL.
How it works
Make a QR code for a link in four steps
- 01Paste the link you want people to open
- 02Pick the size and colors, and check the preview
- 03Shorten it to count scans and edit the destination later (optional)
- 04Download the QR code as PNG for screens or SVG for print
Static or dynamic
Put a short link in your QR code
A QR code that holds the full URL is static: once printed, it can only ever open that page, and you cannot tell how many people scanned it.
Shorten the URL first and encode the short link instead. The code stays the same, while you can change the destination, pause the link or set an expiration date from your dashboard, and see every scan by day, country, city and device.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static QR code holds the final URL, so it can never change. A dynamic QR code holds a short link, so you can change the destination and count the scans after it is printed. Shorten your link on this page to get a dynamic QR code.
Is the QR code QR code generator free?
Yes. Make as many QR codes as you like and download them as PNG or SVG. There is no sign-up, watermark or scan limit on the code itself.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. A QR code is just the link drawn as a pattern, so it works as long as the link it points to works. If you encode a short link, it keeps working as long as the short link is enabled.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Only if it encodes a short link. Shorten the URL with the form on this page, download the QR code of the short link, and you can later change the destination or see the scans in your dashboard without reprinting.
PNG or SVG, which should I download?
Use PNG for websites, slides and messages. Use SVG for print, such as flyers, packaging and banners, because it stays sharp at any size.
