URL QR code generator
Make a static QR code for any web address. Pick colors, dots, error correction and margin, check it reads back, and download PNG, SVG or PDF. Free.
Where to put it
- Shorter links make smaller, faster codes. Drop tracking tags you do not need.
- Higher error correction (Q or H) survives scratches and a logo on top, but makes the code denser.
- Keep a margin of four modules on every side. Printers love to trim it.
Want scan counts and an editable destination? Make it a free dynamic code. Want it in your own image? Make a picture code.
Enter a web address to see the code.
Static · no expiry · built in your browser
Type or paste the web address.
Set colors, dot shape, error correction and margin; the code reads itself back as you go.
Download PNG, SVG or PDF, and scan it once before you print.
Questions
Does this QR code expire?+
No. A static code holds the link itself, so it works as long as the page does. There is no account and nothing to renew.
What error correction should I pick?+
M suits most print. Pick Q or H if the code may get scratched, dirty or partly covered, knowing it makes the code denser. L gives the smallest code for clean screens.
How much margin does a QR code need?+
Four modules of clear space on every side is the standard. Two is often enough on a plain background; less than that and some phones struggle.
Why is an http link flagged?+
Phones warn before opening plain http pages, and some block them. Use https if the site supports it.
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.

Learn the terms
- QR codeA QR code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode that stores data in a square grid of dark and light modules. DENSO WAVE invented it in 1994, and phone cameras and imaging scanners can read it.
- Static vs dynamic QR codeA static QR code encodes its final data directly, so it cannot change. A dynamic QR code encodes a short redirect link, so the destination can be edited and scans can be counted.
- Deep linkA deep link is a URL that opens a specific screen or item inside an app rather than just the app’s home screen or a website. QR codes often use deep links to jump straight to a profile, product or chat.
- UTM parametersUTM parameters are tags added to a URL, such as utm_source and utm_campaign, that tell web analytics tools where a visit came from. On a QR code they show which print piece brought each visitor.
The next step
Make the code the artwork.
These tools make and check classic codes. AriaQR turns your photo, logo or illustration into the code itself, verified on real decoders before you download, with a link you can edit and track.
