Generate QR Code for
URL for Free
Why do I need to generate a
QR Code for URL?
First, let’s get the technical mumbo-jumbo out
of the way. URL stands for universal resource
locator, or commonly known as a web address.
A typical URL might look like this:
There are plenty of benefits to generating a QR
Code that opens a URL. Also known as a Static
URL QR Code, it’s the standard way of using a
QR Code as it’s free and easy to implement. It
makes it easier for people to open any page on
the web without manually typing the full
address onto a browser. Plus, most current
mobile phones are equipped with a built-in QR
Code reader which makes it even more
convenient than ever.
What kinds of URL can I use
as QR Code contents?
As long as it has a web address, you can
generate QR Code for any URL. This could be
your website, a contact form, a Youtube video,
social media pages, online PDF, and much
more.
Are there further benefits to
using a QR Code for URL?
Eco-friendliness
There is no doubt that QR Codes make
everything eco-friendly. More and more
companies have now adopted QR Codes to
check guests in whether to board planes or at
events and concerts. Since QR Code can be
scanned from a mobile device, printing
physical passes are no longer necessary, thus
eliminating the need for ink and paper.
Internationally-recognized
They originally made their debut as ugly,
black-and-white square pixels that were used
in supermarkets and factories. Because of their
distinctive look, most people know that these
squares contain information when scanned.
Fully customizable
Yes, they were not the most appealing when
they were first introduced. But let’s not dwell
on the past because now, you can customize
the Codes’ look and feel to match your
personality or brand. You can even change
their shapes and edges to make them uniquely
yours, add a logo and frames to encourage and
attract scans to the QR Codes.
Enhances engagement
Would you rather type a web address manually
to open a web page and risk opening the
wrong one because of a typo, or scan a QR
Code that will open the correct page every
single time? Most Gen Zs and Millennials prefer
QR Codes over URL because it’s more engaging
and convenient.

1. Go to the web page you’d like to create a
QR Code for and copy the web address

2. Then, paste the entire address into the
URL field where your QR Code will be
generated automatically in the preview
on the right side of the screen.
3. Do a test scan with a QR Code reader to
see if it works. If it doesn’t, make sure
the address you copied from the browser
matches the ones you added in the URL
field.

feel of the QR Code to match your
personality or brand colors. Add a frame

Any tips to generate QR Code
for URL?
Test scan
The Static URL QR Code cannot be edited or
changed once it’s generated. Please do
multiple test scans to ensure it’s readable and
scannable before you print it.
Minimum size
We recommend a minimum size of 2 x 2 cm
(0.8 x 0.8 in) for any QR Codes. This ensures
that your QR Codes remain scannable,
especially when you’re about to print a large
batch on flyers or posters. Visit our guide
before you print for more tips.
Logo
If you own a company, include a logo on your
QR Code to increase brand awareness.
Whenever a QR Code with your logo appears
anywhere, your audience or customers will not
hesitate to scan it as it makes them feel secure.
Colors
QR Codes are the perfect place to splash some
colors that match your personality or brand.
One important thing to note: Always use a
darker color for the foreground (the black and
square pixels itself) and a lighter color for the
background. Visit our QR Code design guide for
more tips.
Printing formats
Our generator makes sure that your QR Codes
stay in a high-quality resolution no matter
what. You have the option to choose between
JPG, PNG, EPS, or even SVG image file formats.
It’s easy to integrate the QR Code to any design
using a photo editing tool.

Code use cases?

innovative and unique ways, here are a few
examples from fictional brands to get your

on brochures and flyers. This way, prospective

the Academy for further info.

easiest way to get donations is first to make it
convenient to do so. In all of their marketing
materials, a Static URL QR Code is printed that
opens up their donation page without a hassle.

videographers
When Through the Lens Studio wanted to
show their portfolio to potential customers, all
they did was print the Code on their business
cards that link to their online portfolio. That
way, they no longer have to carry their
portfolio everywhere and, at the same time, no
inks and prints wasted!
For event management
For Verge Event Management, it was easier for
them to add the Static URL QR Code on
invitation cards that lead to their Eventbrite
page. Guests can then look up detailed event
info on the page and purchase tickets directly.
