QR Code Generator
Generate QR codes for URLs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code for a website URL?
Enter the full URL including https:// (e.g., https://example.com/page). The tool generates a QR code that, when scanned, opens the URL in the device's default browser. Always test the QR code before printing to verify it links correctly.
Should I use http or https in my QR code URL?
Always use https:// for security. Modern browsers warn users about http:// sites. HTTPS URLs are also slightly longer, making the QR code marginally denser, but the security benefit far outweighs this. The tool defaults to https:// if no protocol is specified.
How do I track QR code scans?
Use a URL shortener with analytics (like Bitly) as the QR code URL. This tracks scan count, location, device type, and time. Alternatively, add UTM parameters: ?utm_source=qr&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=flyer. The tool supports any URL format.
Can I change the URL after printing the QR code?
Not directly, since the URL is encoded in the QR code. However, use a redirect URL or short link that you control. Then change the redirect destination anytime without reprinting. This is called a "dynamic QR code" approach.
What is the best QR code size for a business card?
Minimum 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm, recommended 2-2.5 cm. Use error correction Level M or Q. Keep the URL short (use a URL shortener) to reduce QR density. Test scanning with multiple phones before printing. Place the QR code with adequate white space around it.
