A QR code is just a scannable shortcut to a web address. If you can copy a link, you can make one. Here's the quickest free way.
Step by step
- Copy the URL you want people to reach — a page, form, menu, or video.
- Open the link creator and paste it in.
- Get your short link + QR code — lynkily generates both instantly.
- Download the QR and place it on your poster, slide, or packaging.
- Track scans on your dashboard in real time.
Tips for QR codes that actually get scanned
- Keep it big enough. Aim for at least 2 × 2 cm in print; bigger for posters seen from a distance.
- Add a call to action. "Scan for the menu" beats a bare code.
- Use a dynamic QR so you can change the destination later without reprinting.
- Test before printing — scan it with two different phones.
Why track your QR codes?
Scan data tells you which poster, table, or campaign actually worked. lynkily records every scan with device and location, so you can compare placements. Want the bigger picture? Read our free QR code generator guide.
