Why put a QR code on tv commercials?

Captures intent in the moment, while the viewer is watching and most engaged.
Removes the friction of memorizing or typing a web address from a screen.
Static codes never expire, so a commercial can keep running in reruns and on streaming.
Branded colors, shapes, and a logo make the code feel like part of the creative, not an afterthought.
Everything generates in your browser, keeping campaign links private until launch.

What to link your QR code to

Link to a product page, special landing page, or limited-time offer.
Drive app downloads with a code pointing to the app store.
Promote a contest, giveaway, or signup tied to the broadcast.
Send viewers to a longer video, behind-the-scenes content, or a full product demo.
Offer a scannable discount code redeemable online or in store.

Tips for QR codes on tv commercials

Hold the code on screen long enough, several seconds at minimum, for viewers to grab a phone and scan.
Make the code large and high-contrast so it reads across a living room from a TV.
Place it on a clean, still background, not over motion or busy footage.
Add a short on-screen prompt like 'Scan now' so viewers know to act.
Test on an actual TV and use the Debug tool to confirm it decodes from screen distance.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a QR code stay on screen in a TV ad?

Long enough for a viewer to notice it, pick up their phone, open the camera, and scan, ideally several seconds and on a still frame.

Can people scan a QR code from their television?

Yes, if the code is large, high-contrast, and held steady. Test it on a real TV at couch distance before airing.

Do I need a paid account for a broadcast QR code?

No. The generator is free with no signup, and the static code never expires or limits scans.
