File QR Code Generator

Any downloadable file link.

- Resource packs at training sessions
- Warranty and certificate documents
Before you print
Think about whether a phone can open it
A zip or a spreadsheet is awkward on a phone. If most scans will be mobile, a simple web page is usually kinder than a download.
Keep the link stable
Files get moved and folders get reorganised. Use a dynamic code so you can repoint it when that happens.
Common questions
Will the file download automatically?
It depends on the file type and the phone. PDFs and images usually open in the browser; other formats normally download.
