What is a QR code generator for links?

A QR code generator encodes a URL into a square barcode that phones can scan to open the link instantly. Instead of typing a long address, your audience points their camera and lands on the right page.

With LinkShrinks Premium, every short link you create can include a downloadable QR code styled to match your brand palette. Scanning the code follows the same reliable redirect as clicking the short URL — ideal for offline-to-online campaigns.

How it works

  1. 1

    Shorten your destination URL

    Paste the long link you want people to reach — a product page, signup form, menu, or video.

  2. 2

    Generate the QR code

    After shortening, Premium users see a QR preview tied to the short link. The code always points through your LinkShrinks redirect.

  3. 3

    Download and share

    Save the PNG and add it to print materials, slides, storefronts, or packaging. Update the destination later by editing the short link in your dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about QR codes with LinkShrinks.

Is the QR code generator free?
QR code download is a Premium feature. You can still shorten links for free, but generating and downloading QR codes requires a Premium subscription.
What format are QR codes downloaded in?
QR codes download as PNG images, ready to drop into presentations, print layouts, or social posts.
Does the QR code point to my short link or the final URL?
The QR code encodes your LinkShrinks short URL. When scanned, visitors are redirected to your destination through the same HTTP 307 redirect used for regular clicks.
Can I use QR codes on printed materials?
Yes. Download the PNG at a size suitable for your design. Premium links do not expire, so printed QR codes keep working for long-running campaigns.
Can I track scans separately from clicks?
Scans are recorded as clicks on your short link. Premium link analytics show total clicks along with referrer, country, and device breakdowns in your dashboard.
How much does Premium cost?
Premium is $4 per month and includes QR codes, 100 links per month, custom paths, bulk shortening, and full link analytics.
