PRACTICAL GUIDE
How to create a QR code for a link
A QR code lets people open a website quickly from a poster, menu, slide, or business card. The important steps are using the final URL, testing the scan on a phone, and choosing the right download format.
Step-by-step
- Choose URL in the QR Code Generator and paste the complete address beginning with https.
- Scan the generated QR code with a phone camera to confirm that it opens the intended page.
- Download SVG for print or PNG for screens, messaging, and quick sharing.
Check before using the result
A QR code does not update if you later change the destination URL. Check that you use the final address before printing, and leave enough clear space around the code so it remains easy to scan.
