Free PDF QR code generator

A QR code can’t hold an entire PDF — instead it stores a link to one. Upload your PDF somewhere public (your site, Google Drive, Dropbox), paste the share link above, and download a free PDF QR code. Scanning it opens or downloads the document. The code is generated in your browser and never uploaded.

To create yours:

  1. 1

    Host your PDF

    Put it on your website, or use Google Drive/Dropbox with a “anyone with the link” share URL.

  2. 2

    Paste the link above

    The type is detected as a URL automatically.

  3. 3

    Customise the look (optional)

    Add your logo, brand colours and a frame.

  4. 4

    PNG for screens, or vector SVG/PDF for print — no watermark.

Swap the file without a new code

Choose “Make it editable” to get a dynamic code: keep the same printed QR and re-point it to an updated PDF any time — new price list, new brochure, v2 of the manual — with no reprint, plus scan tracking.

Good for brochures, menus, manuals and flyers

Put it on packaging, posters, product labels or print ads so people reach the document instantly. A static code works forever and offline; an editable (dynamic) code lets you change the file later and see scan stats. Printing it? Export SVG or PDF and check the right print size.

No — QR codes hold a small amount of data, so they store a link to your PDF rather than the file itself. Host the PDF online and encode its URL.
