## How it works

### A fast URL QR code workflow

1. **Paste a URL or text** -- Use a full URL, a bare domain, or plain text. Domain-like inputs are normalized to HTTPS.
2. **Preview the QR** -- The QR image updates in the browser, so nothing needs to be submitted to create the PNG.
3. **Copy or download** -- Copy the QR image where supported, download the PNG, or copy the encoded content for review.


## FAQ

### Is this QR code generator free?

Yes. You can generate a QR code for a URL or plain text, copy the PNG image, and download it without creating an account.

### Can I make a URL QR code without adding http or https?

Yes. If the input looks like a web address, the generator normalizes it to a full HTTPS URL before creating the QR code.

### Can this track every scan?

A plain QR image cannot report scans by itself. To track campaign QR performance, create a tracked link and use that URL in the QR code.

### When should I use a tracked QR code?

Use a tracked QR code when the QR points to a landing page, booking page, offer, event page, or any campaign link where knowing that someone opened the URL helps your team follow up.
