Every QR Code Type You’ll Ever Need

Start from what you want the scan to do. Sending people to a website? Use a Link QR. Sharing contact details? vCard. Opening a restaurant menu? Menu. Connecting to Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi. Each type on this page shows a short description of its ideal use case to help you pick.

Most of them can, but not all. Many types can be generated as either a static or dynamic QR code — static locks the content in at creation, while dynamic lets you edit the destination and track scans later. Some types are dynamic-only because they rely on Enqode QR to host or route the scan (like Multi-URL and Landing Page), and a few simple types are static by nature.

The type is set when you create the code, so you can’t convert a Link QR into a vCard QR, for example. With a dynamic QR you can still change the destination within the same type — just generate a new code if you need a different type.

Yes. Every type produces a standard QR code that any modern smartphone camera or QR scanning app can read — no special app required for your audience.

A Link QR code sends anyone straight to a web page, product listing, booking form, or any URL when scanned. It’s the most versatile type — ideal for posters, packaging, ads, and business cards.

A vCard QR code stores your contact details — name, phone, email, company, website and address — so a single scan lets someone save you straight to their phone contacts. Perfect for business cards, email signatures and networking events.

A Menu QR code turns your existing menu into a scannable code — upload your menu as a PDF, JPG or PNG and it opens instantly when scanned. Great for restaurants, cafés and bars, and with a dynamic Menu QR you can swap in an updated file anytime without reprinting.

A Wi-Fi QR code lets guests join your network by scanning — no typing passwords. Just encode the network name and password and print it wherever people need access, like a café, office or rental.

A Payment QR code points customers to your payment link — UPI, PayPal, Stripe or any checkout URL — so they can pay in a tap. It’s contactless and works for any online payment link.

A Social Media QR code links to one or all of your social profiles, making it easy for people to follow you across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and more from a single scan.

A Multi-URL QR code bundles several links behind one code and shows them as a simple menu of buttons — website, booking page, socials, downloads. Scanners choose where to go, and you can add, remove or reorder links anytime without reprinting.

An App Store QR code sends users to your app’s download page. It can point to a single store link or route iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play automatically.

A Coupon QR code delivers a discount or promo offer on scan to drive sales, while a Review QR code takes customers straight to your Google, Yelp or Trustpilot review page to collect more feedback.

A Landing Page QR code opens a no-code mini business page you build in minutes — add your business name, tagline, opening hours, contact info, address, a call-to-action, additional links and social media links. Perfect for launches, promos and campaigns without needing a developer.

A Product QR code links any physical product to its page using a GTIN or a product link, sending shoppers straight to the right page. Ideal for retail, catalogs and in-store displays.

A File QR code lets people open or download a document — PDF, PPT, DOC or XLS — on scan. Useful for menus, brochures, manuals, price lists and event handouts.

An Image QR code lets you share up to 10 photos on a single scan — great for portfolios, product shots, real-estate listings, posters and event photos.

A Video QR code plays a video when scanned — a product demo, tutorial, event highlight or promo. Host it once and let anyone watch straight from their phone.

An Audio QR code plays a sound file on scan — perfect for music previews, audio guides, language samples or podcast clips.

These types pre-fill an action so scanning is effortless: an Email QR opens a new message to your address (optionally with subject and body), an SMS QR starts a text to your number, and a Call QR dials your phone number directly.

A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with your business number, optionally pre-filled with a message — a fast way to start conversations from packaging, ads or storefronts.

A Location QR code opens your exact spot in the scanner’s maps app, making it easy for customers to navigate to a store, venue or event.

An Event QR code adds your event to the scanner’s calendar with date, time and location in one tap, while a Google Form QR code opens a survey or registration form to collect responses quickly.

Yes. Every one of the 27 types can be customised with brand colours, gradients, custom eye patterns, frames and a centre logo — all while keeping the code fully scannable.

Any type generated as a dynamic QR code can be edited after it’s printed — change the destination URL, menu, links or file without creating a new code or reprinting.

Yes. When you create any type as a dynamic QR code, you get real-time analytics — total scans, unique scans, locations, devices and timestamps — from a single dashboard.

No. Every type supports unlimited scans, whether it’s static or dynamic.

All types can be downloaded as SVG, PNG, PDF or EPS at multiple resolutions, so they stay crisp on everything from business cards to billboards.
