Settings guide
URL format: Always use the full URL with protocol (https://). Omitting the protocol produces a broken QR that apps may not recognize as a web link.
Short URLs for print: Long URLs create denser, harder-to-scan patterns. If your URL is longer than 100 characters, use a URL shortener before encoding. Shorter URL = simpler QR = faster scan and smaller minimum print size.
HTTPS vs HTTP: Always link to the HTTPS version of your URL. Many modern browsers block HTTP pages and scanners may warn users about insecure links.
Landing page tip: QR codes from print campaigns benefit from a dedicated landing page (e.g., yoursite.com/scan) so you can measure traffic from physical materials separately in your analytics.
Test before printing: Scan the QR code with at least two different phones before committing to a print run. Test both the iOS built-in camera and an Android camera app.
Format comparison
Static vs dynamic website QR codes: If you need to change the destination URL after printing (e.g., a seasonal campaign QR on permanent packaging), you need a dynamic QR from a service like Bitly, QR Code Generator PRO, or Flowcode. Dynamic codes cost money because they require a redirect server. If the URL will never change, a static QR generated here is simpler, cheaper (free), and does not depend on a third party staying online.
Print vs digital: A QR code on a web page is redundant — users are already online and can click a hyperlink. QR codes solve the physical-to-digital gap. If your use case is entirely digital, use a regular hyperlink instead.

About this format
A website QR code lets anyone reach your URL with a single camera tap — no typing, no autocorrect errors, no forgotten addresses. It is the most common QR code use case precisely because URLs are the universal link to everything: landing pages, product pages, online menus, social profiles, video content, sign-up forms, and event registrations.
The use cases span physical and digital: print marketing materials with a QR that opens your homepage; a conference booth backdrop with a QR to your portfolio; a product label with a QR to the instruction manual; a packaging insert with a QR to a video tutorial; a business card with a QR to your LinkedIn profile.
Where this matters most is the gap between physical and digital. Any piece of print material — receipt, flyer, banner, sticker, postcard, window cling — becomes interactive the moment it has a QR code on it. Visitors do not need to type a URL. They point their camera at the code and they are there.
This generator creates the QR code in your browser. Your URL stays on your device. The output is a PNG or SVG file you download directly. No account, no watermark, no limit on how many you make.
