QR code generator · Restaurants
Free QR code menu generator
Paste your menu URL. Get a printable QR code with no watermark, no redirect, and no scan tracking on your guests. Or skip the PDF and build a real digital menu you can edit any morning without reprinting a single card.
Style
100% free. Enter your name + email once to download.
Build an editable menu instead
Make the destination editable, track scans, and add menus, forms, or media - without reprinting the code.
What you get, and what you don't
No redirect
Your destination is encoded into the pattern itself. A scan goes straight there, with no hop through NearField in the middle.
No scan tracking
Because there is no redirect, there is nothing for us to count. We never see who scanned your code, when, or from where.
No expiry
Static codes have no switch to flip off. Yours keeps working for as long as the page, network, or contact behind it does.
No forced watermark
The center badge starts as the NearField mark. Swap in your own logo or remove it in one click, then download exactly what you see.
Free, with no account to create and no card to enter. We do ask for a name and email once, before your first download, and then never again on this device.
Upgrade - free
Print it once. Update it forever.
The QR you just downloaded is static - the destination is baked into the pattern. If your menu, link, or campaign ever changes, you reprint. Build a free NearField Experience and the same printed code becomes a dynamic redirect you control: change the destination anytime, see scan analytics, add content blocks - all without a new QR.
Free to build. No credit card. Your first Experience is on us.

QR code menu questions
- How do I make a QR code menu?
- Host your menu as a web page or PDF, paste the URL into the generator above, download the PNG, and print it onto a table card or window decal.
- Does this menu QR code redirect through NearField?
- No. The destination is encoded directly into the pattern, so a scan opens it straight away with nothing in between. That is also why the code keeps working if NearField is not involved at all.
- Do you track scans on the menu QR code I make here?
- No. There is no redirect to count a scan at, so we have no scan data - not a total, not a location, not a timestamp. If you want scan analytics, that is what a dynamic NearField Experience adds, and it is a deliberate, separate choice.
- Does the menu QR code expire?
- No. A static code has nothing to switch off or renew. It stops working only if the page, network, or contact it points at goes away.
- Is there a watermark on the download?
- Nothing is stamped on the file that you cannot control. The center badge starts as the NearField mark, and you can replace it with your own logo or remove it in one click before you download the PNG or SVG.
- Can I update the menu without reprinting the QR code?
- Only if the QR code points to a page you control. With NearField, you edit the menu in your dashboard and every existing code shows the new content immediately.
- What size should a table QR code be?
- For tableside scanning, 2 to 3 cm (about 1 inch) is enough. Larger if it sits in a window for passing customers.
Static PDF menu vs editable NearField menu
A QR pointing at a PDF works - until prices change, a dish goes out of season, or the kitchen 86s a special. Then someone has to re-upload the PDF and hope no one cached the old one. An editable Experience swaps content live: change the price, save, done.
