Dropbox QR code generator
Make a QR code for a Dropbox file or folder. Paste the share link and choose preview or direct download. Free, no account, PNG, SVG or PDF.
Make the file public first
In Dropbox, choose Share, check the link is set so anyone with the link can view, then Copy link. Paste the whole link, including everything after the question mark.
Where to put it
- Press kits, portfolios and price sheets for trade shows.
- Audio and video files for listening booths and gallery labels.
- Replace the file with a new version from the same link (Dropbox keeps the link), and the printed code still works.
Want scan counts and an editable destination? Make it a free dynamic code. Want it in your own image? Make a picture code.

Questions
What are dl=0 and dl=1?+
The end of a Dropbox link. dl=0 opens the Dropbox preview page; dl=1 downloads the file straight away. The generator sets it for you.
Why keep the rlkey part?+
Newer Dropbox links carry rlkey, a key that unlocks the file. Without it the link does not open, so the generator keeps it.
Can I update the file without a new code?+
Yes. Replace the file in Dropbox with one of the same name in the same folder, and the shared link stays the same.
Do people need a Dropbox account?+
No. Anyone with the link can view or download it, unless the link is set to only people you invite.
Can I change the link or count scans later?+
No. A static code holds the destination itself, so it cannot be edited or counted after printing. For a code you can change and track, make a free dynamic code at ariaqr.com/free-qr-code-generator.
