How do I turn a PDF into a QR code?

Create a free QR Enterprise account, choose the PDF QR type, upload your document, style the code, then download print-ready PNG and SVG files. The code points to a permanent link that serves your PDF from private storage.

Can I replace the PDF without changing the QR code?

Yes. PDF QR codes are Dynamic — the printed code encodes a permanent link, not the file itself. Upload a new PDF and the same code keeps working, so you never need to reprint.

What size PDF can I use?

Free accounts can upload PDF documents up to 10 MB each. Memberships raise the per-file limit to 15 MB, and storage add-ons go up to 100 MB per file.

Is a PDF QR code free?

Every new QR Enterprise account includes 2 free PDF QR codes with documents up to 10 MB each, full colour and logo customization, and PNG and SVG downloads. No payment details are required.

Turn any PDF into a QR code you can update later

Upload a document, generate a scannable code, and share it anywhere. Replace the file whenever you need to — the printed QR never changes.

2 free PDF QR codes. The free allowance is once per account and does not reset. Free PDF documents are limited to 10 MB each with 20 MB of storage in total, and analytics show scan totals rather than the full breakdowns.

Why a Dynamic PDF QR code beats a static link

One code opens your document

A phone camera scans the code and your PDF opens instantly in the browser — no app, no download page, no email attachment required.

Replace the file, keep the code

A Dynamic PDF QR code points to a permanent link you control. Upload a new version of your brochure or menu and the same printed code keeps working.

Hosted in secure private storage

Your document is served from encrypted private storage behind an opaque token. The file URL is never exposed in the QR code itself.

See how many people actually read it

Dynamic PDF codes record scans, opens and downloads over time, so you can measure engagement without guessing.

Branded to match your identity

Set the foreground and background colours, add your logo in the centre, and pick a module shape — with contrast checks so it still scans.

Print-ready output

Download high-resolution PNG and true vector SVG files for signage, packaging, flyers, table tents and exhibition stands.

Where a PDF QR code earns its place

Restaurant menus

Print one code on the table or menu card. Swap the menu for lunch, dinner or seasonal specials without reprinting.

Brochures and catalogues

Hand a single printed card at a trade show. Attendees scan it and your full catalogue opens on their phone.

Real estate listings

Put a code on a property sign or window card. Replace the property PDF when the listing changes — the sign stays.

Event handouts

Share schedules, speaker bios or slide decks from a badge or lanyard. Update the deck after the event and the code still works.

Product packaging

Link a box or label to instructions, safety data or warranty documents. Update the PDF when regulations change.

Healthcare and compliance

Distribute approved public documents — patient leaflets, policies or inspection reports — behind a single scannable code.

Tips for printing a PDF QR code

Print the code at least 2.5 cm wide on a flyer or table tent so phones lock on quickly.
Leave clear space around the code equal to the width of one module — the preview flags a tight quiet zone.
Use a dark code on a light background; the contrast check warns you when a colour pair won't scan.
Keep the logo under 20% of the code area so error correction can still recover the data.
Test the printed proof with more than one phone model before a full print run.
If the document is large, keep it under the per-file limit or upgrade storage for bigger files.
