What Is a URL QR Code?

A URL QR code is a QR code that contains a website address. When someone scans the code using a smartphone or QR code reader, the encoded URL can be opened in their web browser.

URL QR codes make it easier for people to access websites without manually typing a web address. They are particularly useful when a URL is displayed on something that people are viewing away from a computer, such as a printed advertisement, product package, business card, menu, poster, or sign.

URL QR Code Best Practices

A well-designed QR code should be easy to scan. Follow these simple recommendations when creating a QR code for a website.

• Use sufficient contrast. Make sure the QR code is clearly distinguishable from its background.
• Choose an appropriate size. A QR code should be large enough to scan comfortably from the intended viewing distance.
• Keep the QR code clear. Do not place text, images, or other graphics over important parts of the QR code.
• Leave space around the QR code. Keep a clear margin around the code so scanners can identify its boundaries.
• Test before printing. Always scan the final QR code before producing printed materials.
• Check the URL. Make sure the website address is correct and the destination page works properly on mobile devices.

Download Your URL QR Code

Download your finished URL QR code in the format that best suits your needs.

• PNG – suitable for websites, social media, presentations, and other digital uses.
• JPG – useful for documents and general image use.
• SVG – useful for printing because it can be scaled without losing image quality.

Before publishing or printing your QR code, scan it with a smartphone to confirm that it opens the intended website.
