How the PDF QR code works
This tool doesn't upload your PDF anywhere: the file needs to already be published at a URL (your website, Google Drive, Dropbox...).
The QR code encodes that URL; when scanned, the phone's browser opens or downloads the PDF directly.
Worked example
If your restaurant menu is at 'mysite.com/menu.pdf', the generated QR code opens that PDF when scanned.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I upload the PDF directly here?
- No, this tool doesn't host files. First upload the PDF to your website or a service like Google Drive, then use that URL here.
- What happens if I change the PDF's content later?
- As long as you keep the same URL, the same QR code keeps working and shows the updated file.
