Restaurant Menu QR Code

Paste the address of a menu page, or of a PDF that is already on the open web.

Everything runs in this browser. Text, files and the finished image are not sent to a server.

Style templates

Pick a look — colours, modules, frame and caption. Works with any content type; your fields stay as they are.

What does a style template change?

It applies colours, module style, a decorative frame and a short caption. Your field values stay as you left them. The frame and caption are drawn outside the quiet zone, so they are not part of the encoded data.

Which download formats include the frame and caption?

PNG, SVG and PDF. EPS stays a classic unframed monochrome code, because that format is meant for simple print workflows.

Does the caption get encoded in the QR code?

No. A scanner reads only the QR modules. The caption is a label on the card, fitted in at most two lines, including in Arabic (right to left).

Can I still change colours after picking a template?

Yes. A template is a starting style. You can adjust colours and download again. Switching templates or type pages does not clear the fields you already filled in.

Can I use a style with a different content type?

Yes. Styles are only looks. A review-card look works on a website URL, Wi-Fi, vCard or any other type. Changing the content type keeps the style you picked.

Customise Colours, shapes, size, border and centre mark. Optional — a style template already sets these.

How to use it

1
Publish the menu at a web address you control, or use a PDF that is already publicly hosted.
2
Paste that address here. Optionally type the restaurant name as a label for yourself.
3
Download the image, test a scan at a table, then print the stand.

What it does

Paste the address of a menu page, or of a PDF that is already on the open web. We write that address into a static QR symbol. A restaurant name can sit on this form as a reminder, but it is not encoded, so it does not take up space in the symbol.

The pasted menu or PDF URL is normalised as an ordinary https address and encoded as the payload. The optional restaurant name is not included in the symbol. We do not host menus or accept file uploads.

Why it works this way

Menu signs are only as reliable as the page they open. Host the menu on your site or another host you control, then point the code at that address.

We do not store PDF files for you. If you need to replace the file behind a printed code later, host the file at a stable address, or use a Dynamic URL code and keep the edit key — that redirect is free and best-effort, not a paid guarantee.

Leaving the restaurant name out of the payload keeps the code smaller and avoids a stale name if the sign is reused.

Examples

https://example.com/menu

https://example.com/menu

a hosted menu page is encoded as a normal web address

https://example.com/files/spring-menu.pdf, name “Oak Café”

https://example.com/files/spring-menu.pdf

the PDF URL is the payload; the café name stays on the form only

Inputs and outputs

a menu page URL or a publicly hosted PDF URL
an optional restaurant name, used only as a label on this page
optional design settings

a static QR symbol whose payload is the pasted URL
PNG, SVG, PDF, or a classic EPS

Edge cases

we do not accept menu file uploads
the restaurant name is never part of the payload
if the hosted menu moves, a static code will not follow it

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a PDF here?

No. This site does not host files. Put the PDF or menu page on a host you control, then paste the URL.

How do I change the menu after the signs are printed?

Update the page at the same URL, or use a Dynamic URL code whose destination you can edit. Dynamic redirects on this site are free and not guaranteed to stay online forever.

Do you store what I type on this page?

No. For a static code, encoding happens in your browser. We do not upload or keep the payload.

Will the printed code still work if this site is offline?

Yes for a static code: the content is in the image. A Dynamic URL code is different — a scan needs this site to redirect, and we do not guarantee that it will stay online.

Do style templates change what a scanner reads?

No. The decorative frame and caption sit outside the quiet zone. Only the QR modules are encoded. Framed styles download as PNG, SVG or PDF; EPS stays an unframed monochrome code.
