YouTube QR Code

This is a URL code specialised for YouTube addresses, with room to explain what happens when the video is later removed.

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.

What it does

This is a URL code specialised for YouTube addresses, with room to explain what happens when the video is later removed.

The address is normalised and encoded as ordinary text. No identifier is extracted or rewritten, so privacy-preserving or regional URLs are left intact.

Why it works this way

If the video is made private or deleted, the printed code still holds the old address, and YouTube will be the one to show an error.

We are not affiliated with YouTube or Google, and we do not receive view counts.

A playlist or a channel URL works the same way as a watch URL: whatever you paste is what is encoded.

Examples

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
the address is encoded as given, after a scheme check
a non-URL string with no scheme that is not a host
an error or a guessed https URL
the same rules as the URL tool apply

Inputs and outputs

  • a YouTube video, playlist or channel URL
  • a static QR symbol whose payload is that address

Edge cases

  • removed videos still leave the old address in printed codes
  • short youtu.be links are accepted as ordinary URLs

Frequently asked questions

Do you see who watched the video?

No. The scan goes to YouTube. We are not in that path.

Can I swap the video later?

Not on the same print. Encode a new address and print a new code.

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.
