Simply Automated QR
Menu

Make a QR code for a PDF

Paste the public link to your PDF and download a code that opens it. Good for brochures, manuals, price lists and handouts. Free, no sign-up.

Three steps

  1. Put the PDF online where anyone with the link can open it, without signing in.
  2. Paste the link below and download the code as PNG or SVG. SVG stays sharp at any print size.
  3. Test it on a phone that is not signed in to your accounts, so you see what a stranger sees.

Paste your PDF link

Paste a link (https://...) or type any text.

Style

Enter a link or some text to see your QR code.

Static code: the content is inside the image, so it does not expire and we never see its scans.

When the file will change

A code made here holds the link itself. That is the safest choice when the link will not change, because nothing on our side can switch it off. If you expect to swap in new versions with new links, save the code in a Pro account instead and change where it points.

Questions

Do you host my PDF?

No. Upload the file somewhere you control, such as your website, Google Drive or Dropbox, and paste its public link here.

How do I get a public link from Google Drive?

Open the file's sharing settings, set general access to "Anyone with the link", and copy the link. Test it in a private browser window to be sure.

What if I replace the PDF later?

If the new file has the same link, the code keeps working. If the link changes, make a new code, or use a saved Pro code that you can point at the new link.

Is there a file size limit?

Not from us, because the code only holds the link. Keep the file small anyway: people often scan on a phone with a weak signal.
