A QR code that opens your PDF
Upload a PDF and print the code. People scan it and read the document on their phone. Replace the PDF when it changes: the printed code keeps working.

What to put behind it
A menu or a price list
Update the PDF when prices change. The codes on the tables stay the same.
A manual in the box
The full manual on the phone, from a small code on the package or the device.
A brochure or a flyer
More pages than the paper has room for, from a code on a poster or a stand.
A form or a certificate
A document people can open, save, and print themselves.

- 3Download the QR code and print it. Scan it with your phone to test.
Price
Hosting one file is $4.99, paid once. Pro is $39 once and hosts up to 10 files.
- Hosted with no time limit
- Replace the file any time, and the printed code keeps working
- No subscription
- No app needed to open it
Anyone with the code can open the file, so put only what you are happy to share on it. The browser gets a link that works for one hour: a link copied from the address bar stops working, while the printed code keeps working.
Questions
- How large can the PDF be?
- Up to 25 MB. On mobile data, smaller opens faster: a text PDF of a few pages is usually under 1 MB, while a scanned brochure can be 20 MB or more. Export scans at a lower resolution before you upload.
- How does the PDF open on a phone?
- In the phone browser's PDF viewer, the same way as a PDF link on a website. People can zoom, scroll, and save or share it from there.
- Is a PDF menu a good idea?
- It works, but an A4 page is small on a phone: guests zoom and scroll sideways. A one-column PDF, or a menu web page, is easier to read. Our restaurant guide compares both.
