Can I print a QR code in my book or in my marketing materials to lead people to my website?

Learn how to get a QR code for your author website to print in your book or marketing materials.

You can easily create a QR code that leads to your website.


Here are a few simple options:


1. Free online QR code generators
You can use tools like QR Code Generator, QRStuff, or Canva. Just paste your website URL, generate the code, and download it as a high-resolution PNG or SVG for print.
2. Canva (good for design control)
If you’re already designing anything in Canva, it has a built-in QR code app. You can generate the code and position it exactly where you want in your layout.
3. Dynamic QR codes (optional)
Some platforms (like QR Code Generator Pro or Beaconstac) let you create dynamic QR codes, meaning you can change the destination URL later without reprinting the book. These are usually paid but useful if your link might change.
Once you’ve created the QR code, just make sure:

  • It's the correct URL!

  • It’s high resolution (300 dpi for print)

  • It’s at least ~2–3 cm wide so it scans easily

  • There’s good contrast (dark code on light background)
