Create a QR Code for a URL
A URL QR code opens a website, landing page, file, menu, social profile, or app link when scanned. It is the most common QR code format for marketing and everyday sharing.
MakeQRCode.io creates static URL QR codes in your browser. The encoded link is stored directly in the QR image and does not depend on a redirect service.
How to Make a URL QR Code
- Paste the website link - Enter the full URL you want people to open after scanning.
- Customize the QR code - Choose colors, size, and error correction, then add a logo if you need one.
- Generate the code - Create a static QR code that stores the destination URL directly in the image.
- Download and scan-test - Save PNG or SVG and test the code with a phone before sharing it.
URL QR Code Uses
- Menus and signage: Send visitors to a digital menu, booking page, map, or instruction page.
- Marketing campaigns: Link print ads, flyers, packaging, and mailers to a landing page.
- Profiles and portfolios: Share a website, social profile, resume, portfolio, or link-in-bio page.
- Files and forms: Point people to PDFs, signup forms, surveys, order pages, or support pages.
