How to

Get your PDF link

The QR code leads to a link: your PDF must be online and open to everyone.

  1. 1

    Google Drive

    Upload the PDF, right-click then "Share". Under "General access", choose "Anyone with the link", then "Copy link".

  2. 2

    Dropbox or OneDrive

    Click "Share" next to the file, then "Copy link". Check that the link is open to everyone, no sign-in needed.

  3. 3

    Check in a private window

    Paste the link in a private browsing window: if the PDF opens without asking you to sign in, your customers will see it too. Then paste it above.

  • The link is written in the QR code: it cannot change once printed
  • No idea how many scans
  • No logo, no frame

Can you host my PDF?
This generator writes a link into the QR code, it does not host files. Put your PDF on Google Drive, Dropbox or your website. With Allinks, from the Premium plan, you can upload the PDF straight to your page.
I update my PDF: does the QR code still work?
On Google Drive, replace the file with "Manage versions" (right-click, then "File information"): the link stays the same. Otherwise the new file has a new link and you need a new QR code, unless you use an editable QR code.
Does the QR code expire?
No. It works as long as the PDF link works.
What size for printing?
At least 2 cm wide on a label or card, 3 to 4 cm on a flyer or table tent. Choose the large image for a poster.
Is it really free?
Yes. No watermark, no scan limit, no sign-up.
