About URL QR Generator
Paste a website address, pick a size, and this tool turns your URL into a scannable QR code the moment you stop typing. It works with any web link — a homepage, a product page, a booking form, a maps listing, or a short link you already made with a URL shortener like TinyURL or Bit.ly. Forget the https:// prefix and it fills it in for you; include http://, https://, or another scheme yourself and it's left exactly as you typed it.
Once your code appears you can download it as a clean PNG on a white background at 256, 512, or 1024 pixels — small for slides and email signatures, large for flyers, posters, business cards, menus, and packaging that need to stay sharp in print. Because it's a static QR code that encodes the link directly, there's no tracking redirect and nothing to expire: the code keeps working for as long as the destination page stays online.
Want one QR code that leads to several links? Point it at a single landing page that lists them, then turn that one address into a code here. There's no account, no watermark, and no cap on how many you generate. Everything happens in your browser using JavaScript, so the URLs you enter are never uploaded to a server or saved anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this URL QR code generator free?
- Yes, it is completely free with no account, no sign-up, and no limits. Generate and download as many QR codes as you want.
- How do I turn a website URL into a QR code?
- Paste or type the website address into the box and choose 256, 512, or 1024 pixels — the QR code appears instantly. Click download to save it as a PNG, then drop it into your flyer, slide, or print file. Test it with your phone camera before printing to confirm it opens the right page.
- Is my URL uploaded or stored anywhere?
- No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your URL never leaves your device and is not sent to any server or saved anywhere.
- Do I need to type https:// before my URL?
- No. If you leave off the scheme, the tool automatically adds https:// for you. If you include http://, https://, or another scheme yourself, it is kept as-is.
- Can I make one QR code that links to multiple URLs?
- A single static QR code encodes one destination, so it can't hold several separate links at once. The usual workaround is to build one landing page that lists all your links, then paste that page's URL here to get a code that opens the whole list. That page can be a Linktree, a Notion doc, or any web page you control.
- Can I make a QR code from a TinyURL or other short link?
- Yes. Paste any already-shortened link — from TinyURL, Bit.ly, or your own short domain — and it is encoded exactly like any other URL. Shorter links produce simpler QR codes with fewer squares, though the code scans the same either way.
- Does this tool shorten my URL or work as a URL shortener?
- No, it doesn't shorten links; it turns whatever URL you paste into a QR code exactly as-is. If you want a shorter link inside the code, run your URL through a separate shortener first, then paste the short version here.
- Can I make a QR code with both a URL and text?
- This tool is built for web links and adds https:// to anything that looks like a bare address, so it works best with URLs rather than plain sentences. Paste a full URL and it is encoded as a clickable link; for encoding free-form text or notes, a dedicated text-to-QR tool is a better fit.
- How is this different from making a QR code in Google Chrome?
- You don't need Google or Chrome's built-in feature — this works in any browser on any device with no Google account or extension. Chrome's share option only makes a code for the page you're currently viewing, while this lets you encode any URL you type or paste.
- What size should I choose for printing?
- For print materials like flyers, posters, or packaging, choose 512 or 1024 pixels so the code stays sharp at larger sizes. For on-screen use, 256 pixels is usually plenty.
- What format is the downloaded QR code?
- The download is a standard PNG image on a solid white background, which scans reliably and works in any design tool, document, or print workflow.
- Will the QR code expire or stop working?
- No. These are static QR codes that encode your URL directly, so there is no tracking link or expiration. As long as the destination website stays online, the code keeps working forever.
