QR codes bridge the physical and digital world, one scan opens a link, menu, or contact card. You can create a QR code for free, download it, and use it well.
How to make a QR code (step by step)
- Open the QR Code Generator.
- Paste your URL or text.
- Choose a size with the slider.
- Generate, then download the PNG.
Static vs dynamic: these codes are static, they encode your link directly, so they never expire and there's no tracking middleman. The trade-off is you can't change the destination later, so double-check the URL first.
Where to use QR codes
- Restaurant menus and table cards.
- Business cards linking to your site or LinkedIn.
- Flyers & posters driving people to a page.
- Packaging for instructions or reviews.
Tips for reliable scanning
- Print big enough, at least 2 × 2 cm; bigger for distance.
- Keep good contrast and quiet space around the code.
- Test it with a couple of phones before printing hundreds.
