How to make a QR code for a link
Paste the full web address into the box, choose your colours and download the PNG (for screens and documents) or SVG (for print shops and designers). Test it with two different phones before you print anything.
Static or editable?
The code you download here is static: the link is baked into the pattern, so it can never be changed. If the page might move (a seasonal menu, a property listing, an event page), create a free editable code instead. It points to a short link you can change at any time, and it shows how many people scanned it.
Printing tips
Print the code at least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 × 0.8 in) for flyers and bigger for posters: roughly 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of scanning distance. Keep a quiet margin around it, use a dark code on a light background, and avoid glossy surfaces that reflect light.
Frequently asked questions
- Do these QR codes expire?
- No. Static codes from this page contain your link directly and work for as long as the link works. There is no subscription behind them.
- Can I change the link after printing?
- Not with a static code. Use a free editable code if you might need to change the destination later.
- Can I track scans?
- Only editable codes can count scans, because the scan passes through our short link first.
