Generation is client-side, so student-facing links stay on your device.
Brand codes for your school with colors, shapes, and a logo.
Export SVG for printed handouts and classroom displays.

What to link your QR code to

Link to an assignment, reading, or video on each handout.
Point a code to a Google Form quiz, survey, or permission slip.
Add a WiFi code in labs or libraries for quick guest access.
Link to the class website, syllabus, or learning portal.
Create a code per station for a museum-style gallery walk.
Put a code on the door linking to office hours or contact details.

Tips for QR codes on education

Point codes at stable resource URLs; static codes can't be re-pointed after printing.
Link to a class page you can update so one code covers changing materials.
Use SVG for crisp printing on worksheets and posters.
Verify each code with the Debug tool before handing them out.
Keep strong contrast and a clear margin for fast scanning on student devices.

Frequently asked questions

Is it appropriate to use for free in schools?

Yes. The generator is free with no signup, and codes are created privately in your browser, which suits classroom and district use.

Can I update an assignment without reprinting?

Yes, if the code points to a stable page or folder you control. Update the content behind that link and the same code shows the new material.

Does it track which students scan?

No. This is a static generator with no analytics or tracking. The code simply opens its destination when scanned.
