How to Make a QR Code for Your Business (Free)

Menus, visiting cards, payments, reviews โ€” 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 โ€” and they're free to make.

Where businesses actually use them

  1. Menus & catalogs: one code on the table links to your full menu โ€” update the menu without reprinting.
  2. Visiting cards: link to your WhatsApp, website or portfolio instead of cramming text.
  3. Reviews: a "Scan to review us" code at the counter directly boosts Google reviews.
  4. 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 โ€” 30 seconds, no account.

Print tips that matter

  1. Use the largest size (512px) for print โ€” small codes don't scan reliably.
  2. Keep quiet space (white margin) around the code.
  3. Always test-scan with your own phone before printing 500 flyers.
  4. Dark code on light background scans best.
