You want a QR code that links to your website. Someone scans it on their phone and lands on your page — no typing, no misspelling the URL.
Here's how to generate one in under a minute, free: QR Code Generator — No Signup
Step-by-Step: QR Code for a Website URL
- Go to the QR Code Generator
- Select URL as the content type
- Paste your website URL (e.g.
https://yoursite.com) - The QR code generates instantly in the preview
- Download as PNG (for digital use) or SVG (for print and scaling)
That's it. The QR code is ready to print on a business card, paste on a flyer, or embed on a webpage.
What URL to Use
Homepage: https://yoursite.com/
Point people to your main site from a business card, product packaging, or a sign.
Specific landing page: https://yoursite.com/contact/
Send people directly to a contact form, booking page, or product page — skip the homepage navigation entirely.
Social profile: https://instagram.com/yourbrand
Point customers from a physical location to your social media without them having to search.
Google Maps location: https://maps.google.com/...
Add to your storefront or menu. Customers tap → directions open instantly.
Portfolio or resume: https://yourname.com/
Print on the bottom of a physical resume or business card.
Customise the Appearance
The generator supports several style options — no extra steps, no account needed:
Dot shape — Choose between square (classic), rounded, or circular dots. Rounded dots look more modern on branded materials.
Corner style — Rounded or square corners for the three large corner squares.
Colours — Set any foreground and background colour. Match your brand colours exactly.
Logo in the centre — Upload a small PNG or SVG logo to embed in the middle of the QR code. Keep it under 30% of the code area so it remains scannable.
All customisations update the preview in real time. Download when it looks right.
PNG vs SVG — Which Format to Download?
PNG — Use for digital: email signatures, website embeds, social media posts, presentations.
SVG — Use for print: business cards, banners, flyers, merchandise. SVG scales to any size without pixelating. A business card printer will always prefer SVG.
Will the QR Code Ever Stop Working?
Static QR codes generated here are permanent. The code encodes the URL directly — there is no intermediate redirect or server involved. As long as your website URL stays live, the QR code works forever.
If you plan to change the destination URL later (e.g. a seasonal promotion that ends), use the Bulk QR Code Generator or a dynamic QR service that lets you update the redirect without reprinting the code.
After Generating: Test It
Before printing or publishing, scan your QR code with your phone to confirm:
- Download the PNG from the generator
- Open the QR Code Scanner
- Upload the PNG — the decoded URL appears instantly
- Confirm it matches what you intended
Takes 20 seconds and prevents the embarrassment of distributing a broken QR code on print materials.
