URL QR Code Generator
Turn any website link into a scannable QR code.
What is a URL QR code?
A URL QR code encodes a web address so that scanning it opens the page in a phone's browser. It's the most common type of QR code — used on posters, packaging, menus, business cards and signage to bridge print and web without typing.
How to create one
Paste your link into the Website URL field. If you omit http:// or https://, we add https:// for you and show you the result before generating. Optionally add a caption that appears when you print. Then download a PNG for screens or an SVG for print.
Only safe links are allowed
For safety, this tool accepts only http and https links. Scripting or file schemes such as javascript:, data: and file: are blocked, because those can be abused to run code or open local resources. Special schemes like email, phone and SMS have their own dedicated tools.
Scanning and printing tips
Shorter URLs create simpler, more reliable codes — consider a clean, readable link rather than a long tracking string. Keep the printed code at least 2 cm square, preserve the white quiet zone, and use SVG when you need to scale without blurring.
Privacy and security
The link is encoded on your device and never sent anywhere. Because the code is static, nobody can silently change its destination after you publish it — what you encode is what people get.
Limitations
A URL QR code can't track scans or be edited later. If the destination page moves, the printed code becomes a dead link, so point it at a stable address you control.
Frequently asked questions
Does the URL need https?
We recommend https for security. If you type a bare domain, we add https:// automatically and show you the final link.
Why was my link blocked?
Links using javascript:, data:, file: and similar schemes are blocked because they can be unsafe. Use a normal http or https address.
Can I add my logo?
Yes — use the QR Code With Logo tool, which raises error correction so the code stays scannable.
