Google Drive QR code generator
Share a folder of event photos, a slide deck or a document with one printed code.
Sample. Fill in to make it yours.
Prints a short link you can change after printing, with scan stats. Free account, 3 codes included.
PNG, JPG or SVG up to 1 MB. Stays in your browser.
A picture behind the code. The fade keeps it light enough to scan. Stays in your browser.
Set to Max because a logo covers part of the code.
A Google Drive QR code opens a file or folder in Drive. People can view, download or, if you allow it, upload. Folders are handy for photos: guests at a wedding scan one code and see every picture as you add them.
The sharing setting matters most. In Drive, choose Share, then General access, then "Anyone with the link", and set the role to Viewer (or Editor if guests should upload). Then copy the link. Without this step, people scanning the code see a "Request access" page.
