Upload a PDF and generate a QR code in seconds. Scanners open the PDF directly in their browser or PDF viewer — no app download required.

Upload your logo, pick brand colors, and choose a dot style. Your PDF QR code looks like a polished marketing asset — not a plain black-and-white code. Stand out on every flyer, card, and package.
Track how many people scanned your QR code, when they scanned it, and from which device or country. Use this data to measure the reach of every campaign, brochure, and printed piece.
iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac — every modern smartphone camera scans the QR code and opens the PDF in the native browser or PDF viewer. No app download, no account, no friction for the reader.
Your PDF is hosted on a secure server with HTTPS encryption. Access can be restricted with a password or scan limit, giving you full control over who views your document and for how long.
