Luma event QR codes for venue signage and check-in — free static generator, no subscription

Startup hosts and community organizers print Luma QR codes on venue doors, badge inserts, and slide decks so attendees scan straight to the event page or RSVP flow. Hosted QR SaaS charges ~$49/month for a static link — you can generate the same PNG locally for free.

Get your Luma link

In Luma:

  1. Open your event dashboard → Share or copy the public event URL
  2. Use the full https://lu.ma/... link as the QR payload
  3. For recurring series, link to the series page so future dates stay discoverable

Examples:

https://lu.ma/startup-demo-night
https://lu.ma/ai-hackathon-march
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Encode the full HTTPS URL. Phone cameras open Luma in the browser or app on the event page.

Tip: print the QR on check-in signage and projector slides so late arrivals can RSVP without typing.

Why Luma hosts care

Luma is common for tech meetups, demo days, and founder dinners. A single laminated QR at the venue entrance beats reprinting flyers when you tweak the title — the slug stays stable.

Free browser generator (no account)

Open this page, paste your Luma URL, download PNG or SVG. Everything runs client-side; nothing is uploaded:

Batch for multi-event operators

Printing QR stickers for several events from a spreadsheet:
