QR Codes for Web Banners

A web banner has seconds to earn a click, but a QR code lets viewers jump straight from screen to phone without typing a thing. Build a branded code in your browser, color it to match the banner, and drop it into your creative. Everything happens locally, so nothing you enter is ever uploaded.

Design a banner-ready QR code

Why put a QR code on web banners?

Bridges the gap between a banner on one screen and the visitor's own phone, no URL typing required.
Static codes never expire and have no scan limits, so a long-running banner campaign keeps working.
Custom colors and gradients let the code blend into the banner instead of clashing with it.
Add your logo in the center for instant brand recognition at a glance.
Export as SVG so the code stays razor-sharp at any banner size, from a sidebar tile to a full leaderboard.
Completely free with no account, so you can iterate on creatives as often as you like.

What to link your QR code to

Link straight to a landing page or product detail to shorten the path to conversion.
Point to a short promo video that expands on the banner's headline.
Encode a discount-code page so on-the-go viewers can save the offer to their phone.
Send scanners to an app store listing to drive mobile installs.
Drive newsletter or waitlist signups for a launch teaser banner.
Use a WiFi or location code on digital signage banners in a physical space.

Tips for QR codes on web banners

Keep the code at least 15 percent of the banner's shortest side and surround it with quiet space so it scans cleanly.
Export SVG for responsive HTML banners and high-DPI displays; use PNG or WebP where a raster asset is required.
Pick a dark code on a light patch of the banner for maximum contrast, even when the rest of the design is bold.
Run the built-in Debug tool to confirm the code decodes to the right URL before you publish the banner.

Frequently asked questions

Will the QR code on my banner ever stop working?

No. These are static codes, so they never expire and have no scan limit. As long as the destination URL stays live, the code keeps working.

Can I change where the code points after the banner is live?

No. The destination is baked into a static code and cannot be edited later, so double-check the URL and decode it with the Debug tool before you ship the banner.

What export format is best for a web banner?

Use SVG for crisp scaling on any screen, or PNG and WebP when your ad platform needs a raster image.
