URL QR code generator

A URL QR code opens a web address the moment it is scanned. The link is stored in the pattern itself, so the code works forever, needs no account and sends no data anywhere. Choose it when the address will never change; if it might, use a dynamic URL code instead.

Static: stored in the pattern, works offline and forever, cannot be edited or tracked.

What people use it for

  • Send people from a poster, flyer or shop window to your website.
  • Link printed packaging to an instruction or registration page.
  • Put a sign-up or booking link on a business card or table tent.

How to make it

  1. 1Choose “Website” and paste the full address, including https://.
  2. 2Pick colours, a pattern style and, if you like, your logo.
  3. 3Check the scan-safety score turns green.
  4. 4Download PNG for screens or SVG/PDF for print.

Tips for a code that scans every time

  • Shorter addresses make simpler, easier-to-scan patterns.
  • Test the printed code with two different phones before a large print run.
  • If you may ever change the page, make a dynamic URL code so the print stays valid.

Frequently asked questions

Does a URL QR code expire?

No. A static URL code holds the address in its pattern, so it works for as long as the website does.

Can I change the link after printing?

Not with a static code. Use a dynamic URL QR code: it points to a short link whose destination you can change at any time.

Can I track scans of a URL QR code?

Static codes cannot be tracked. Dynamic URL codes record scans by date, country, device and more.
