Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about making a QR code for your PDF.
Yes. Every plan, including the free one, gives each PDF a QR code you can download as a PNG or SVG. The Pro plan adds custom colors, shapes and your logo.
No. The code points to your PDF's permanent link, so it keeps working for as long as the PDF is public on your account, even if you change its custom URL.
Yes. Replace the file from your dashboard and the QR code keeps working, so every printed copy opens the new version. No need to reprint.
No. Most phone cameras scan QR codes on their own. Your PDF opens in the browser, so there's nothing to download or install.
Yes. Download the SVG for print, as it stays sharp at any size. Keep the code at least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide, with a dark code on a light background.
