Create a QR code for any link
It's the most universal QR there is: paste a URL and turn it into a code anyone can scan with their phone camera. Menus, flyers, posters, slides, résumés: any piece of paper or screen becomes clickable.
One detail that matters: this is a static QR. The URL is encoded inside the code itself, with no intermediary server in between. That means it never expires, nobody can switch it off or charge you to keep it active, and there's no tracking involved, unlike many generators that insert their own redirect and later ask for a subscription to keep your QR alive.
Any web address. We add https:// for you.

How it works
- 1
Paste or type the URL
If you leave out the https://, we add it for you. The QR is generated instantly as you type.
- 2
Verify the destination
Scan the QR with your own phone before publishing it, especially if it's going to print.

PNG (1024px) covers screens and documents; SVG is vector and scales to any print size without losing definition.
Long addresses make codes that are hard to scan
How much text the code stores decides how many little squares it has. A short address like myshop.com/menu produces a clean code with large blocks that reads instantly and survives being printed small. That same address with three campaign parameters bolted on the end can double the density of the picture and make it fragile: it needs more size, better light and a decent camera.
If you do need tracking parameters, there are two practical ways out. One is shortening the address with a link shortener and putting that version in the code, accepting that you now depend on that service. The other, sturdier one, is creating a short clean address on your own site that redirects internally to the long one with all its parameters. The code stays simple and the tracking still works.
Point it at an address you control
This is the advice that prevents the most reprints. A static QR code cannot be edited, but the page on the other side can. If the code points at myshop.com/menu and next year you switch digital menu providers, you change where that address leads and the printed signs carry on working exactly as before.
The painful case is the opposite one: putting a long autogenerated third-party address in the code, the kind that looks like platform.com/u/48f9a2/menu-v3. The day that platform changes its URL scheme or shuts down, all your signs point at nothing and there is no way to fix it without reprinting. A domain of your own costs very little per year and buys you exactly this freedom.
