How to Create a QR Code for a Link (in 30 Seconds)
Step-by-step guide to turning any URL into a QR code for free, plus tips for scannability and testing before you print.
Step by step
Turning a link into a QR code takes less than a minute:
- Open the page you want to share and copy the address from the browser bar
- Paste it into the URL to QR generator
- Choose a style and optional logo
- Download PNG for screens or SVG for print
Keep the link short
Every character adds data. Long links with tracking parameters produce dense codes that are harder to scan from a distance. Remove what you don't need.
Test before printing
Scan with at least two different phones, ideally one iPhone and one Android, and from the distance people will actually use.
