QR Codes on Ebooks & Ezines

Readers often view an ebook or ezine on one device while their phone sits beside them, perfect for a QR scan. A code links a static page to live downloads, sign-ups, and bonus content without breaking the reading flow. Make them free in your browser, fully private and signup-free.

Make codes large enough to scan even when the ebook is viewed on a small screen.
Add a short caption explaining what each scan unlocks, like 'Scan for the free workbook'.
Keep strong contrast against the page background for reliable scanning.
Use SVG for any printed edition and PNG or WebP for the on-screen version.
Verify each code with the Debug tool before you publish or distribute the file.

Frequently asked questions

Can readers scan a QR code shown on a screen?

Yes. A second device, like a phone, reads codes off a tablet or monitor easily as long as the code is reasonably large and high-contrast.

Will the codes still work in an evergreen ebook years from now?

Yes. These are static codes with no expiry and no scan limits, so they keep working as long as the destination page stays online.

Is the generator free for commercial publications?

Yes. It is free with no signup, and codes are generated in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or tracked.

Free, private and made entirely in your browser — no signup, nothing uploaded.
