How to Create a QR Code for a Website (Step-by-Step)

To create a QR code for a website, copy your site's address, paste it into a QR code generator, style it and download it. Use your homepage or a dedicated landing page — not a long, temporary link.

How to do it with Linkly

1. Open your website and copy the address from the browser bar.
2. Go to /qr-code-generator and paste it.
3. Add your logo and brand colours (keep strong contrast).
4. Download SVG for print, PNG for digital.
5. Test it with two different phones.

Send people to the right page

A homepage is fine, but a focused page converts better: a booking page, an offer, or a contact page. If you don't have a website yet, a free Linkly mini page works as a simple one-page site — see /local-business-website.

Static or never-change code?

A static code holds the link itself and is free forever, but it can't be changed after printing — a new link means a new code. A never-change code (Pro, $5/month or $49/year) points to a permanent getlinkly.app address, so you can change where it goes anytime, see how many people scanned it, and it keeps working even if you cancel. If you might redesign your website or move domains, choose never-change so printed codes keep working.

Where website QR codes work best

• Business cards and email signatures.
• Shop windows and counters.
• Flyers, brochures and posters.
• Vehicle signs and packaging.

Frequently asked questions

How big should a website QR code be?

At least 2 cm (0.8 in) for close reading; for posters, about 1 cm for every 10 cm of scanning distance.

Can I see how many people visited from the QR code?

Yes, with a never-change code — scans are counted in your Linkly analytics.

Will a QR code work if my website changes?

A static code points at the exact address. If that page moves, it breaks. A never-change code can be pointed at the new address.

Do I need an app to scan it?

No. Modern iPhone and Android cameras scan QR codes directly.
