What is a URL QR code?

A URL QR code encodes a website address. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it automatically opens the URL in the browser, eliminating the need to type the address manually.

Do URL QR codes expire?

Static URL QR codes (like those generated by our tool) never expire. The QR code permanently links to the encoded URL. However, if you change or delete the website, the QR code will lead to a non-working page.

Can I track scans of my URL QR code?

Static QR codes cannot track scans. For tracking, use a URL shortener with analytics (like bit.ly) and encode the shortened URL in the QR code, or use dynamic QR code services that offer tracking.

What URL format should I use?

Always include the full URL with protocol: "https://example.com" not just "example.com". This ensures the QR code scanner opens the link correctly in a browser.

How big should my URL QR code be for printing?

Minimum 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches) for reliable scanning. Larger is better for signs and posters. Test your QR code at the intended print size before mass printing to ensure scannability.

Can I change the URL after creating the QR code?

No, static QR codes permanently encode the URL. If you need to change destinations, use a URL shortener or dynamic QR code service that allows updating the target URL while keeping the same QR code.
