Free Website QR Code Generator

A website QR code turns any web address into a scannable square, so people can reach your site by pointing a phone camera instead of typing. Paste your link above, download the PNG, and print it on cards, signs, or packaging. Most of the work is choosing the right page, because a web address can lead anywhere from your home page to a booking form.

How to make your QR code

Open the exact page you want visitors to see and copy its address from your browser.
Paste that URL into the box above.
Click Generate to make the code.
Click Download PNG once you are happy with the preview.
Test the saved file before it goes anywhere: scan it, watch the page load, and read it on the phone screen.

Choose a clean, stable address

Start with https, the secure version of the address. Then send people to the page that answers their reason for scanning, which is often a specific page rather than your home page.

Shorter addresses make simpler codes that scan faster and from farther away. Long tracking tags tacked onto the end make the picture denser and harder to read, so use a plain link unless you have a specific reason not to.

Skip pages that need a login or only open on your office network. A scanner is a stranger standing somewhere with a phone, and the page has to open for them without extra steps.

Pick a link that will still work next year

The address is baked into the picture, so you cannot edit the code later. Choose a page that will stay put: /menu or /contact, not a path with a date or version number in it. Avoid temporary or draft addresses.

If you may want the code to go somewhere new in the future, set up a redirect on your website from the printed address to the new page. Redirects are managed where your site is hosted, not in this tool.

For a short-term promotion, point the code at a lasting page that you refresh, such as /offers, instead of a page built for that single campaign.

Test before you print

A short check now saves a reprint later. Once ink is on paper, a wrong address cannot be fixed, so run through this list with the final file.

Scan with two different phones, one iPhone and one Android if you can.
Try it on mobile data as well as your usual connection.
Stand at the distance a real visitor will use.
Make sure the page loads quickly and reads well without zooming.
Print one draft on your own printer and scan that, not the screen.

Frequently asked questions

Which page should my website QR code point to?

The page that answers why someone scanned: a menu, a booking form, a contact page. Your home page is a safe fallback, but it makes the visitor hunt for what they came for.

Should I use http or https in the link?

Use https whenever your site supports it. It is the secure version of the address, and browsers can show a warning for plain http links. Paste the full address, starting with https, to avoid surprises.

Why does my QR code look so crowded?

Long web addresses pack more information into the picture, which makes the squares smaller and denser. Use a shorter link, such as a clean page address without extra tags, and the code will look simpler and scan more easily.

Does the code work without internet?

Your phone can read a printed code without a connection, but opening the page it links to needs internet. The code itself does not expire as long as that page stays online.
