A QR code generator for PDFs

If you want to share a PDF, QR codes make it super convenient.

Instead of uploading your PDF to a file sharing service then sharing it via email or trying to get people to type in a long link, just share it as a QR code that people can easily scan.

How to share a PDF with a QR code

Upload your PDF

It can be a menu, certificate, instructions, or relevant PDF

Design your QR code

Use the standard black and white square, or go for a round QR code with your brand logo - it's up to you

Share your QR code

That's all there is to it. When people scan your QR code, they will see your PDF. If you choose to create a dynamic code, you'll be able to see how many times your QR code was scanned.

Circle QR codes tend to look better on packaging, posters, and other promo materials, so we let you use frames that make your QR codes look round
