Free URL QR code generator
Create a QR code for any website URL in seconds. When someone scans your QR code, it opens the link directly in their default browser. This makes URL QR codes perfect for business cards, product packaging, restaurant menus, real estate signs, event posters, and marketing flyers.
Our generator works entirely in your browser. The URL you enter never leaves your device and is never stored on any server. You can customize the appearance with different dot patterns (square, rounded, dots), eye styles, colors, and even add your company logo in the center.
How to create a URL QR code
Enter your full URL including https:// in the field above. The QR code generates instantly as you type. Expand the customization panels below to change colors, dot patterns, eye shapes, add a frame with custom text like 'SCAN ME', or upload your logo. Download the result as PNG or JPG.
Frequently asked questions
Do URL QR codes expire?
No. A static QR code is simply an encoded URL. It works as long as the destination website exists and is accessible.
Can I track scans?
Static QR codes don't include tracking. Use a URL shortener like Bitly as your target URL to get scan analytics.
What size should my QR code be?
Follow the 10:1 rule: scanning distance should be max 10x the QR code size. For business cards, 2cm minimum. For posters viewed from 1-2 meters, at least 10cm. Check our QR code size guide for detailed recommendations.
