Need a quick QR code for a link — a URL on a slide, a poster, or a lower third? This generator builds one entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded anywhere, and the code updates as soon as you hit generate.
How to use the QR code generator #
- Paste the URL you want to encode into the URL field above — make sure it includes the
https://(orhttp://) prefix, since most scanners won't guess the protocol for you. - Click Generate QR Code. A 300×300px code appears below the buttons.
- Click Download QR Code to save it as a PNG you can drop straight into a slide deck, a print layout, or a lower third.
Tip: generate a fresh code any time you change the URL — the tool replaces the previous code rather than stacking multiple codes on the page.
Where this comes in handy
QR codes are useful anywhere someone needs to get from a physical surface to a URL without typing it in: a slide at the end of a talk, a flyer for an event page, a sticker on a flight case linking to its manual, or a lower third during a broadcast pointing viewers to a sign-up page.
A note on reliability
This tool always encodes with the QR standard's default error correction, which tolerates a reasonable amount of smudging or partial obstruction before a scan fails. If you're printing the code very small or on a low-contrast background, test-scan it with a couple of different phones before committing to print — that's a better check than any setting this tool could expose.
