URL QR Code

A URL code carries the address itself.

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

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.

The image stays in this browser. It is not uploaded. Adding one switches error correction to H.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste or type the web address.

  2. 2

    Adjust colours, shape or a centre mark if you need them, then create the code.

  3. 3

    Download a PNG or SVG, scan it with a phone, and only then send it to print.

What it does

A URL code carries the address itself. Scanning it should open that page, and nothing on our servers is consulted in between.

The address is normalised if it has no scheme (https is assumed), then encoded as ordinary text in a static QR symbol. Addresses that use javascript or data schemes are refused.

Why it works this way

Because the address sits inside the symbol, a printed code will still open the same URL even if this website is later unreachable. If you later change the page at that URL, the code still points at the same address; we have no way to retarget it.

That is the trade-off of a static code: it cannot expire because we do not host the destination, and it cannot be edited after you print it, for the same reason.

If the typed address has no scheme, the tool prefixes https:// so a scan opens a web page rather than a search. Check the preview’s decoded form if you are unsure.

Examples

example.com/menu
https://example.com/menu
a scheme is added so the scan opens a browser rather than treating the string as a search
https://example.com/hours
https://example.com/hours
an already-complete address is encoded unchanged

Inputs and outputs

  • a web address
  • optional design settings (colours, shape, size, error correction, a centre image)
  • a static QR symbol whose payload is the address
  • PNG, SVG, PDF, or a classic EPS

Edge cases

  • missing scheme — https:// is added
  • javascript: and data: addresses are rejected
  • a very long URL may need a higher error-correction level once a centre mark is added

Frequently asked questions

Will this code stop working if this site goes offline?

No. The address is inside the symbol. The scan does not come back to us.

Can I change the destination later without reprinting?

Not with this static tool: the address is inside the symbol. If you need to retarget a printed code, use the Dynamic URL tool. That redirect is free and best-effort, and it depends on this site staying available.

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.
