Can I upload my PDF here?

No — we don’t host files. Upload to Google Drive (set to "anyone with the link can view") or Dropbox, then paste the sharing URL here. Takes two minutes and means you can update the PDF without reprinting the QR code.

Can I update the PDF without reprinting the code?

If you replace the file at the same URL — yes. On Google Drive: delete the old file and upload the new one with the same name, or use "Manage Versions" to replace it while keeping the same share link. The QR code keeps working.

What does the user see when they scan?

Their browser opens the PDF. On most phones it either renders inline or prompts a download — depends on their browser settings. Either way they get the document.

Do they need a PDF reader app?

Modern mobile browsers (Safari, Chrome) handle PDFs natively. No extra app needed for most users.

Is there a scan limit?

No. Code points directly to your URL — nothing routes through our servers. Unlimited scans, zero cost.

Where do PDF QR codes work best?

Product packaging (link to a manual), printed brochures (link to the digital version), conference programmes (link to speaker bios or abstracts), office entrance signs (link to a visitor guide). Any situation where you want to share a long document without printing it.

Is my document URL stored?

No. Generated locally in your browser. Nothing sent to our servers.

SVG for packaging and print — scales without blurring. PNG for digital use in emails or presentations.

Paste a Google Drive, Dropbox, or direct PDF link. Make sure it's set to "anyone with the link can view".
