Can I edit the URL after printing?

No — these are static codes. If you expect the destination to change, point the code at a URL you control (such as a redirect on your own domain) and change the redirect later.

No. The link is encoded in the pattern and keeps resolving as long as the page exists.

Should I include https://?

Yes. It makes the code unambiguous for every scanner app.

How to make a link QR code

1Paste the full address including https:// — a bare domain can be misread by some scanners.
2Keep the URL short; long links produce denser patterns that need a larger print size.
3Style the code, then download the format your layout needs.
4Scan it yourself before publishing to confirm it lands on the right page.

Common link QR uses

Landing pages and campaign URLs on print ads
App store listings on packaging
Review or feedback forms on receipts
Video tutorials printed on assembly instructions

Add tracking the right way

Because a static code cannot be edited later, append UTM parameters to the URL before generating if you want analytics in your own tool. Shorter destination paths keep the pattern lighter and easier to scan at small sizes.

Formats for links

PNG for slides and social posts, SVG or PDF for anything that gets printed larger than a business card.

Links stay in your browser

Your QR code is rendered in your browser with JavaScript — the text, URL, password or contact details you type are never sent to our servers. We only record anonymous usage counts (the QR type and how many characters it contained) so we can keep the tool healthy. Content is only stored if you sign in and explicitly save a code to your history.
