Scan safety
All clearWhen a URL QR code is the right fit
Use a URL QR code when the scan should open a web destination, like a menu, campaign landing page, appointment form, or app download. It is the fastest way to move someone from print to a live page.
This generator creates static QR codes in your browser. If the destination changes, update the URL and generate a new code for your next print run.
Examples you can encode
Keep the destination clear and specific. A few popular examples include:
- https://yourbrand.com/menu
- https://event.com/rsvp
- https://example.com/offer?utm_source=qr&utm_medium=print
- https://appstore.com/your-app
- https://docs.yourbrand.com/setup
Tracking with UTM parameters
UTMs make QR traffic easy to measure. Add utm_source=qr and utm_medium=print to see how a flyer or poster performs in your analytics.
Keep naming consistent across campaigns and test the final URL after you add parameters to avoid broken redirects.
Best practices for link QR codes
A few small choices improve scan reliability and reduce drop-off.
- Use short, clean URLs when possible.
- Avoid chains of redirects before the final page.
- Print at least 1.5 inches wide for short URLs.
- Use high contrast: dark QR on a light background.
- Test at the expected scan distance.
Make the destination scan-friendly
A successful scan should land on a mobile-friendly page that loads quickly. Slow pages and heavy pop-ups can cause drop-off even when the QR works perfectly.
If your input does not start with http or https, the generator auto-adds https:// to keep links valid.
Troubleshooting scans
If a QR does not scan, increase the size or simplify the URL. Use a sharper print finish, boost contrast, and test with multiple phone cameras before going to production.
URL QR Code FAQ
What is a URL QR code used for?
A URL QR code sends scanners to a web destination like a menu, landing page, form, or app download.
Do I need to include https:// in my link?
Yes. The generator accepts http or https links and will add https:// if you leave it out.
Can I add UTM parameters or query strings?
Yes. Keep your tracking parameters in the URL so scans show up correctly in analytics.
How big should I print a URL QR code?
Start around 1.5 inches wide for short URLs and scale up for longer links or greater scan distance.
Can I change the destination after printing?
Static QR codes do not change. If the URL changes, generate a new QR and update your materials.
