Open the Link / URL tab and enter the address, for example https://example.com. We add https:// if you leave it out.
Pick a dark code colour and a light background. Keep the contrast high so every phone can scan it.
Choose SVG for print or PNG for screens and social posts.
Scan the code with at least two phones and make sure the page opens as expected.
The shorter the web address, the simpler and easier to scan the QR code is. Use a link that won't change; if you later move the page, the printed code will point to the old address.
At least 2 cm × 2 cm for close-range scanning. A rule of thumb: the scanning distance divided by ten gives the minimum code width, so a code viewed from 1 metre should be about 10 cm wide.
The link is stored directly in the image, so the code works for as long as the page stays online. There are no scan limits and no subscription.
Yes. Any http or https address works, including social profiles, Google Maps links, forms and PDFs hosted online.
Long links create dense codes. Use a shorter URL, or lower the error-correction level to make the pattern simpler.
