The most common QR code is a URL QR code: scan it, and the phone opens a website. It is ideal for menus, forms, portfolios, offers, videos, product pages, and app links.
01
Step-by-step link to QR workflow
You only need the URL you want people to open.
- Choose Website URL
- Paste the full https:// link
- Preview the QR code
- Customize colors or add a logo
- Download PNG or SVG
02
Use a mobile-friendly destination
Most QR scans happen on phones. The landing page should load quickly, match the promise near the QR code, and have one clear next step.
03
Keep the QR pattern simple for long URLs
Long URLs make denser QR patterns. If the code becomes too dense for small print, use a cleaner landing URL or a trusted short link.
Quick takeaway
A URL QR code is best when it takes people exactly where they expected to go, quickly and without typing.
