How to make a QR code for a PDF or file
- Put the file in your cloud storage or on your website and set sharing to “Anyone with the link”.
- Copy the share link and paste it here.
- Download the code, test it on a phone that isn’t signed in to your account, and print it.
Tips for a code that scans every time
- Testing on a phone that isn’t signed in to your account proves the file is really public.
- Some services, such as Google Drive’s “Manage versions”, let you replace a file without changing its link – handy for menus and price lists.
- For videos, a YouTube or Vimeo link plays best on phones.
- We never ask you to upload files: your document stays where you keep it.
Questions and answers
Why don’t you host my PDF?
Keeping the file in your own storage means you stay in control: you can update or remove it at any time, and the code never depends on our servers.
Will the code stop working?
Not because of us. It works for as long as the file’s link works and stays shared.
Can I use it for a restaurant menu?
Yes – it is one of the most common uses. Keep the PDF small so it opens quickly on mobile data.
