Frequently asked questions
The URL tab is selected by default. Enter your full website URL (including https://) and your QR code generates instantly. Download it free as PNG or SVG — no account needed.
Yes — any valid web URL works, including websites, YouTube videos, Google Maps links, social media profiles, online documents, PDF files hosted online, and app store links. Always include https:// for best compatibility.
Yes — open Google Maps, find your location, click Share and copy the link, then paste it into the URL field. When scanned, the QR code opens Google Maps directly to that location.
A shorter URL produces a simpler, less dense QR code that is easier to scan at small print sizes. If your URL is very long, consider using a URL shortener first. However, for permanent materials, avoid shorteners that may expire.
No — the URL is encoded permanently in the image. However, if the destination webpage is deleted or moved, the QR code will lead to a broken link. Always use stable, long-term URLs.
PNG 512px works well for digital use and standard print at 5 cm × 5 cm or larger. PNG 1024px for A5 / A4 print. SVG for large-format printing like posters and banners where any size may be needed.
How Does a URL QR Code Work?
A URL QR code encodes a web address into a scannable pattern. When a smartphone camera scans the code, the browser opens that URL automatically. No app is required — the native camera app on iOS and Android handles QR scanning built-in.
Best Uses for a Website URL QR Code
URL QR codes are used on product packaging (to link to instruction pages or warranty registration), print adverts (to link to landing pages), event flyers (to link to ticket registration), restaurant menus (to link to online ordering), business cards (to link to portfolios or LinkedIn), and email footers.
Tips for Printing a URL QR Code
Keep high contrast — dark QR dots on a white background scan most reliably. Leave a quiet zone (white border) around the code. Minimum size: 2 cm × 2 cm for standard print, larger for outdoor signage viewed from a distance. Always test scanning on multiple phones before printing at scale.
Short URL vs Full URL in QR Codes
A shorter URL produces a simpler QR pattern with fewer modules, making it easier to scan — especially when printed small. If your URL is long and complex, paste it into a URL shortener before encoding. For permanent materials like packaging, use a URL you fully control to avoid broken links if the shortener is discontinued.
