How to generate a QR code for a link

The URL QR code is an innovative tool that allows you to quickly and easily share links. Such interactive code is actively used in different spheres. It is in great demand because it allows you to easily access any web page without manually entering the URL in the browser. You only need to scan the QR code to follow the encrypted link in seconds.

Do you want to generate a QR code using a link? To do this, you need a minimum of time and our functional QR code generator, which will help you make a personalized QR code for free. So, to add a link to the interactive code, follow these steps:

  • open the GET-QR QR code generator. This is the main page of our service, where you can learn more about the benefits and options GET-QR provides and ask questions in the chat. If you wish, go to “Your QR codes” page to change or edit the previously generated codes;
  • select the type of QR code "Link". This is the most requested code among our users because it fits for working with any web links. You can add a link to a website, social network page, YouTube video, Google Docs document, etc.;
  • add a link to the appropriate field. Your URL must be in the format https://example.com and can redirect to any active web page. Please note: you can only add one link to one QR code;
  • customize the design of the QR code. At this stage, you can change the code design (the pattern and corners style, pattern and background color), add your logo or select one of the available logos of popular social networks, and choose a frame. Design settings are optional; if you wish, you can leave the default design of your QR code;
  • click the "Create" and then "Download" buttons to save the code in the appropriate format (PNG or SVG) and size (1024, 2048, 4096 px). Also, while customizing your code’s design, you can see changes in the "Preview" window. This way, you can know in advance how users will see your QR code before scanning.

Important! Test the generated code. Do a QR code scanning test on different devices and ensure everything is okay. Then use your interactive code as you see fit. For example, put the code in a prominent place where customers can easily find it or post the code on your social networks.

If you want to see the statistics of your code scans, go to the "Your QR codes" page, select the desired code and click the "Statistics" button. All relevant information will be displayed here: the total number of scans, the number of unique scans, the operating system, and the browser used to view the code.
