How to make a QR code for a link

- Pick your colors and module style, and add a logo if you like.
- Download the code and test it on a phone before printing.
What a URL QR code contains
A URL QR code stores the web address itself. Shorter links make simpler codes that scan faster, so drop tracking strings you don't need, or use a dynamic code that stores a short link.

Tips for codes that scan
- Use https links; some phones warn before opening plain http.
- Add utm_source=qr to the link so your analytics shows QR visits separately.
- Send people to a mobile-friendly page. Everyone who scans is on a phone.
- If the page might move, use a dynamic code so you can update the link.
Where people use them
- Menus and price lists
- Product pages on packaging
- Event registration forms
- Portfolio and social links
Need to edit it later or count scans?

Common questions
Still curious? Drop us a line and a human will get back to you.
Does a URL QR code expire?
No. A static QR code works as long as the link it points to works.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Not with a static code, because the phone opens your link directly. Use a dynamic QRius code, or add UTM tags so your web analytics counts the visits.
How long can the link be?
QR codes can hold long links, but shorter ones make simpler codes that scan more easily, especially when printed small.
Can I use it for a Google Form or YouTube video?
Yes. Paste the share link of any page and the code opens it.
