Can I get a QR code for my website?
2 mins read
Yes, you can make a QR code that directs mobile users right to your website for free! Here are two QR generating solutions we recommend:
1. QR Code Monkey
How to make a QR code:
- Visit: https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/
- Click: Enter Content
- Add the website URL you want your QR code to direct people to (many people use their website's homepage or contact page)
- Leave "Statistics & Eligibility" turned off (otherwise, you'll be redirected to another QR code software, where you'll have to pay a subscription fee)
- Click "Set Colors" if you want to use colors other than black and white
- If you want to use more than one color, click "Color Gradient" and choose two colors.
- You can also change the background color if you'd like
- If you want to add your logo to the middle of the QR code, click "Add Logo Image" and upload your logo or any image you'd like.
- If you want to change the look of the QR code design, click "Custom Design" and pick the look you want!
- Then, on the right, click the green button that says: "Create QR Code"
- If you want to change any of your choices, go back to the left side and tweak them.
- Once you've got it where you like it, click the blue button that says, "Download PNG"
You do not need to sign up for any software. You will simply have a downloaded .png file that you can email to a designer to place on a flier, business card, or sign.
2. Hovercode
How to make a QR code:
- Visit: https://hovercode.com/
- Sign up and put in your credentials
- Where it says, "Create QR code" at the top, paste the website page you want to link
- If you want to enable scanning, tracking, and editing on this QR code option, you can. Click "dynamic" to enable it.
- Then, select a template.
- Pick a color, or paste a hex code in the open box
- Upload your logo if you'd like it in the center of the QR code
- You can also choose from more design options or frames
- You'll see your QR code on the right, and you can scan it on your phone to test that it works!
- Then click "Generate QR Code". It's a blue button at the bottom.
- To download it to your computer, click PNG.
