How to create and use your link to QR code
Copy the public address
Open the page you want a visitor to see and copy the full address. Paste it into the Link field. Use a public website address, rather than a local file path or an editor preview.
Choose a readable design
Keep a dark pattern on a light background. Add a logo only if it remains clear at your intended print size. The code updates as you change the link or styling.
Download and check the destination
Use PNG for a document, SVG for a design workflow or PDF for a ready-to-print sheet. Scan the downloaded version and check the entire journey, including any sign-in or payment screen.
Choose a durable destination
Use an address you expect to keep, such as your homepage, booking page or a short path on your own domain. This tool checks the address format, but it cannot confirm that a website is online or safe. Open the destination yourself before printing.
Keep the address short
Long links create more densely packed codes. Remove unnecessary tracking parameters where you control the link. Do not shorten a link by deleting parameters that the destination needs, such as a booking reference or access token.
Check the real customer journey
Scan with a different phone and open the page while signed out. A link that works for an administrator may ask a customer to log in. If you control the destination, keep that address stable when you redesign the website.
Example: a booking link on a business card
A sole trader can print one code that opens a booking page, with “Book an appointment” underneath. A general homepage adds another step if the visitor must then search for bookings. Choose the useful page directly, but consider who will keep that address working when the booking system changes. If the provider supplies a temporary preview link, replace it with the published link before downloading.

- The code opens the intended public page, including on mobile data.
- The written website address on the sign matches the destination people should expect.
- Someone owns responsibility for the domain and any redirects over the life of the print.
