How PDFQR works
Three steps from file to printed code
PDFQR turns your PDFs into a mobile-friendly page that opens with one scan. One code can show a single PDF or a whole collection: menus, manuals, brochures, reports, schedules and document kits.
Upload your PDF files
Drag and drop one PDF or many. Reorder them, rename how they’re displayed, and choose whether a single file opens straight away. A live preview updates as you go.
- Drag and drop or browse your files
- Up to 100MB per PDF
- Rename display titles without renaming files
Customize the viewing experience
Give the page your title and an optional subtitle, add a header image or logo and pick a theme color. Your visitors see your brand, not ours.
- Title, subtitle and header image
- Theme color to match your brand
- Live preview of exactly what visitors see
Publish and download your QR code
Style the code with your colors, logo and a frame, then download it as PNG or SVG. After publishing, the code stays the same, even when you replace the PDFs behind it.
- Colors, logo and frames
- Print-ready PNG and SVG
- Manage every code from one dashboard
Smart viewing options
One PDF or a whole library. You choose how it opens.
Every QR code opens a fast, mobile-friendly page. Pick the view that fits the moment.
Direct view
A single PDF opens immediately, full screen. Perfect for a menu, a flyer or a one-page notice.
List view
Several PDFs appear as a clean, branded list. Visitors tap the one they need: drinks, desserts, floor plans or the warranty.
Several PDFs on one branded page. Visitors tap the one they need.
A single PDF opens straight away, full screen, with no extra tap.
Branded viewing pages
A page that looks like your business, not a file server.
Shared-drive links drop people into someone else’s interface. PDFQR gives your documents a clean page with your name on it.
- Page title and optional subtitle or welcome message
- Header image or logo
- Theme color to match your brand
- Reorder and rename PDFs anytime
- No PDFQR branding on your public pages
QR design
A QR code that belongs on your menu, sign or box.
Match the code to your brand before you download it, then export a file your printer will be happy with.
- Custom colors with strong contrast
- Your logo in the center
- Frames with a call to action
- High-resolution PNG and scalable SVG
