How to Make a QR Code for Your Business (WiFi, WhatsApp, Links)

QR codes are everywhere — restaurant menus, shop counters, visiting cards. They save customers from typing long links and phone numbers. Here's how to make one for free.

Create your QR code

1. Open the QR Code Generator.
2. Choose a type:
   • Link / text — your website, Instagram, Google Maps location or menu.
   • WiFi network — guests scan and connect without asking for the password.
   • WhatsApp chat — opens a chat with your number, with an optional pre-written message.
   • Phone number — calls you in one tap.
3. Pick colours that match your brand (keep the code dark on a light background).
4. Download the PNG and print it or add it to your designs.

Ideas for shops and restaurants

• A WhatsApp QR on the counter: "Scan to order on WhatsApp".
• A WiFi QR on each table.
• A Google review link QR on receipts.
• A menu link QR on the door.

Printing tips

• Minimum size: 2 × 2 cm for cards, 10 × 10 cm for posters.
• Contrast matters: dark code, light background. Avoid light-on-dark.
• Leave a white border around the code.
• Always test with two different phones before printing 500 copies.

Do they expire?

No. DoraPDF creates static QR codes — the information is stored inside the code itself, so it works forever and there's no subscription.
