FAQ

Is this URL QR code generator free?

Yes. QRFlow is free to use and generates QR codes locally in your browser.

Do you upload my data?

No. Inputs stay in your browser. “Share this QR” stores data in the URL hash only (not sent to the server).

Which format should I download for printing?

Use SVG for crisp, print-ready output at any size. Use PNG for quick sharing.

How do I convert link to QR code?

Paste your website link, click generate, then download SVG/PNG. If you need editable targets later, use Redirect QR.

How do I create a URL QR code?

Paste your link, generate the QR, and download SVG/PNG. Short URLs scan faster.

Is a URL QR code the same as a website QR code?

Yes. A URL QR code is simply a QR code that opens a website link (URL).

Should I include https:// in my URL?

Yes. Use a full https:// URL for the most reliable scans across phones and apps.

Do short URLs scan better?

Usually yes—short links create less dense QR codes, which scan faster and print cleaner.

How do I create a URL QR code step by step?

1) Paste a short, stable URL. 2) Generate the QR and scan-test. 3) Download SVG for print or PNG for sharing.

Can I use a long URL?

Yes, but longer links create denser QR codes. Consider a shorter link for print.

Can I add UTM tracking to a QR code?

Yes. Add UTM parameters to your destination URL (or use the UTM builder). Keep the URL reasonable so the QR stays easy to scan.

Why doesn’t my URL QR code open in some apps?

Some in-app browsers struggle with redirect chains. Use a direct destination, avoid multiple redirects, and scan-test on real devices before printing.

Can I change the destination later without reprinting?

Use Dynamic QR (redirect) to create a short link you can update later.

What is a redirect QR code?

A redirect QR code points to a short link you can update later. Use Dynamic QR when you need to change destinations without reprinting.

Should I use a static URL QR or a redirect QR code?

Use static URL QR for permanent links. Use redirect/dynamic QR if the destination may change after printing.
