Paste the link to your menu and download a QR code for your tables. It is free, needs no account, and the code points straight at your link, so it never expires and never shows anyone else’s ads.

The generator on the page turns any menu link into a QR code (PNG or SVG) in the browser. Nothing is uploaded. The code encodes the link directly, with no redirect, so it does not expire.

## Before you print

- Scan the downloaded code with two different phones before printing a batch.
- Print it dark on a light background. Inverted or low-contrast codes fail on some phones.
- Keep the white border around the code. Scanners need it to find the edges.
- As a rule of thumb, make the code at least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide on a table card, and larger for anything read from a distance.
- Add a line of text beside it, such as "Scan for the menu with photos", so guests know what it opens.

## The code is only as good as the menu behind it

A QR code that opens a PDF makes guests pinch and zoom on a page designed for paper. If you change prices often, a PDF also means re-uploading a new file each time. A menu built for phones, with a photo on every dish, is what makes the scan worth it.
