What is a URL QR Code?
A URL QR code encodes a link in byte mode; scanning opens it straight in the phone's browser. It is the most common QR type on table cards, business cards, packaging and ad material. CodeBox offers it as one of ten content types in its QR generator.
Encoding structure and tips
- Content looks like
https://www.example.com/page— always include the protocol; - Keep it ≤ ~2,000 characters; longer strings bump the version and slow scanning;
- Shorten long links first if possible — fewer modules, fewer read errors;
- Avoid spaces and unencoded characters in the URL.
How to generate a URL QR code
- Paste the full link (https:// recommended);
- For printed cards, use error correction M or higher;
- Set quiet zone and colors (dark code on light background);
- Download PNG/SVG and test-scan with a real phone before printing.
Typical uses
- Table cards: menu, ordering, payment;
- Packaging: manuals, warranty registration;
- Business cards and flyers: homepage, booking page.
FAQ

Completely free, no sign-up, unlimited use — everything runs locally in your browser.
How much content fits in one code?
A QR code holds up to ~4,296 half-width characters or 2,953 digits (level L). More content means denser modules — print larger.
