Review QR code generator
A review QR code turns your review link into something a customer can scan from a receipt, counter card, invoice or vehicle. It removes the typing step entirely, which is where most in-person review requests die.
Generate a review QR code
Codes are generated from the URL you paste and validated first — no shorteners, no redirects, no tracking wrapper inserted.
Where review QR codes actually work
| Placement | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Receipt or invoice | Handed over at the moment the service is fresh. Highest-intent placement for most businesses. |
| Counter or table card | Works for restaurants, salons and retail where the customer is briefly stationary. |
| Service vehicle or job-site sign | Useful for trades — but only with a line of text saying what scanning does. |
| Business card back | Low volume, zero marginal cost. |
| Packaging insert | For ecommerce, pair it with the order number so the customer remembers the purchase. |
Printing rules that stop codes failing
- Minimum 2cm × 2cm on print. Smaller than that and phone cameras struggle in poor light.
- Keep the quiet zone. Do not crop the white margin or place text tight against the code.
- Use SVG, not a screenshot. Vector stays sharp at any size; a scaled-up PNG will not scan.
- Dark code on a light background. Inverted codes fail on many scanners.
- Add a call to action. "Scan to leave us a Google review" outperforms a bare code substantially.
- Test the printed proof with more than one phone before ordering a print run.
Frequently asked questions
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes, and the codes never expire. They encode your URL directly with no redirect service in between, so nothing can break them later.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The code encodes your link directly rather than pointing at a tracking redirect, so it works for as long as the destination URL works.
What size should I print a review QR code?
At least 2cm x 2cm, with the white quiet zone intact. Larger for anything scanned from more than arm's length, such as vehicle or window signage.
Should I use PNG or SVG?
SVG. It is vector, so it stays sharp at any print size. A scaled-up raster image is the most common reason printed codes fail to scan.
