URL QR codes are the most common kind: a single web address encoded into a square pattern. To create a QR code from a URL, just paste the link: Capy QR generates it entirely in your browser, then lets you redesign the result so it looks like a brand asset rather than a system error. No URL shortening, no redirects, no third party in between you and the visitor.

How to create a QR code for a URL

Copy the link from your browser's address bar — on a phone, tap the address bar or use Share → Copy. Paste it into the box above and the QR code appears instantly. Change the colors, dot style and frame if you like, add your logo, then download: SVG or PDF for print, PNG for screens. Before you print, scan it with your phone camera and check it opens the right page.

Static or dynamic: which link QR code do you need?

A static URL QR code stores the link itself. It's free forever, never expires and needs no account — but if the link changes, you need a new code. A dynamic QR code stores a short capyqr.com link that redirects to your URL, so you can change the destination after printing and see how many people scanned, from which countries and devices. Capy QR's free account includes 3 dynamic codes with 7-day analytics.

QR codes for websites, files and profiles

Any web address works: a homepage, a product page, a booking or signup form, a Google Doc, a YouTube video, a file in Google Drive or Dropbox (set to “anyone with the link”), or a link-in-bio page. For a social profile, the social generator builds the right link from just your username; for Wi-Fi, contacts or a phone number, pick the matching type so the phone takes the right action.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste your URL

    Drop in the link — your homepage, a product page, an event signup, anything that lives at a stable URL.

  2. 2

    Make it look like yours

    Pick brand colors or a gradient, choose a dot style, optionally drop in your logo, and add a frame border. Capy QR keeps it scannable as you go.

  3. 3

    Download in the format you need

    Export as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF at up to 3,200 pixels. No signup, no watermark, no limit on downloads.

Pretty by default. Powerful when you need it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a QR code from a URL for free?

Paste the link into the URL box on this page, style the code if you want, and click a download button. Static URL QR codes are free with no signup, no watermark and no expiry.

Should I use a shortened URL?

Sometimes. Shorter links produce simpler QR patterns that scan better at small sizes. But a shortener (Bitly, Dub, your own) adds a redirect, a third party, and a future expiration risk. For stable destinations, encode the real URL directly.

Will the QR break if I change the page?

Only if you change the URL. Static QRs encode the address itself, so as long as that address keeps resolving — even if the underlying content changes — the QR keeps working.

Is it OK to use HTTPS?

Yes, and you should. HTTPS URLs work the same way in QRs as HTTP, and modern browsers will warn or block plain HTTP loads on phones.

Can I track how many people scanned?

Not directly with a static QR. To track scans you'd encode a tracking URL (e.g. UTM-tagged) that logs visits server-side, or use a dynamic QR that redirects through a tracking layer. Capy QR's dynamic URL QRs do exactly this — they redirect through a short capyqr.com link and record scan analytics (country, city, device, and OS). The free plan includes 3 dynamic QRs with 7-day analytics; paid plans add more codes and longer history.

Why does my QR look complicated even though the URL is short?

Adding a center logo or background image forces error-correction up to level H, which adds visual noise. That's the price of being able to lose part of the image to a logo and still scan. Use level L or M for the cleanest look on plain QRs.

What's the right size for print?

Rule of thumb: minimum side length is one tenth the typical scan distance. A QR scanned from 30 cm should be at least 3 cm wide; a QR on a billboard scanned from 5 m needs to be at least 50 cm.
