How to Make a QR Code for Your Business (Free)
Menus, visiting cards, payments, reviews — where QR codes pay off and how to make them in 30 seconds.
QR codes went from novelty to everyday infrastructure. For a small business, they're the cheapest bridge between the physical and digital world — and they're free to make.
Where businesses actually use them
- Menus & catalogs: one code on the table links to your full menu — update the menu without reprinting.
- Visiting cards: link to your WhatsApp, website or portfolio instead of cramming text.
- Reviews: a "Scan to review us" code at the counter directly boosts Google reviews.
- Payments: link straight to your payment page or account.
How to make one
Type your link into the generator above, hit Generate, download the PNG. That's it — 30 seconds, no account.
Print tips that matter
- Use the largest size (512px) for print — small codes don't scan reliably.
- Keep quiet space (white margin) around the code.
- Always test-scan with your own phone before printing 500 flyers.
- Dark code on light background scans best.
