Make a QR Code for a Website Link
The short answer
Paste the full web address, starting with https://, and the code appears at once. Download it as an image and print it or put it in a slide. This is a plain code that points straight to your link, with no middle service, so it never expires.
Anyone who scans the code will see this.
Higher levels still scan if the code is dirty or covered a little.
Your QR code appears here as you type.
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Does it track who scans my code?
No. The code only holds your address, so nobody counts scans. If you need statistics, you would need a separate link-tracking service.
How large should I print it?
At least 2 cm square for a poster seen from close, and larger if it will be scanned from far away. Leave a blank border around it so phones can find it.
