A file QR code turns any document into a scannable link. Upload a PDF, image, spreadsheet, or Word doc, and anyone with a smartphone camera can open or download it immediately. No app. No typing a URL. Just scan and done.
It's free with a free account. Your file QR is a dynamic, editable code, so when the document changes you replace the file from your dashboard and the printed code keeps working. Scan counts and download analytics are included, also free. Your file QR counts toward your 5 free editable codes.
