Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a QR code for a website URL?
Paste your website URL into the generator and the QR code is created instantly. Download it as PNG or SVG and add it to your materials. When scanned, it opens the URL in a browser.
Should I include https:// in the URL?
Yes. Always include the full URL with https:// (or http://) to ensure the QR code opens correctly in all browsers and devices.
Can I use a shortened URL?
Yes. Shorter URLs create less dense QR codes that are easier to scan. Services like bit.ly also let you track scan counts. However, the URL shortener must stay active for the QR code to work.
What happens if the URL changes?
The QR code always points to the exact URL you encoded. If the page moves, the QR code will lead to a 404 error. Use a URL shortener or redirect service if you need to change the destination later.
Is there a limit on URL length?
QR codes can encode URLs up to about 4,000 characters long. However, shorter URLs create smaller, more reliable QR codes. Keep URLs under 200 characters when possible.
Can I track how many people scan my URL QR code?
The QR code itself does not track scans. To track scans, use a URL shortener with analytics (like bit.ly) or add UTM parameters to your URL for Google Analytics tracking.
