Open the video, channel, or Short, tap Share, and copy the address. Keep the video public.
Paste the full address into the field above.
Press Generate. The preview appears instantly — free, no account.
Scan it with your own phone and confirm the right video plays, not an error page.
Posters, packaging, tables, handouts — anywhere your audience already looks.
Yes. Any public YouTube address — a video, a Short, a channel, or a playlist — works as-is. Paste the exact address you want viewers to land on. Private or unlisted videos will not play for the public, so keep the target public.
The code is permanent as long as the video stays public and its address never changes — static QR codes never expire on their own. If you delete the video or make it private, the code still scans but opens an error page instead.
Yes — print at any size and the code still scans from arm's length. Use high contrast (dark code, light background) and leave quiet space around it. Test one print with your own phone before a full production run. Test one print with your own phone before a full production run.
Yes — any youtube.com or youtu.be address works, including Music, TV, and Kids content. Paste the share address straight from the app and the QR opens exactly that item on the scanner's device. Playlists, episodes, and live streams all work the same way.
Static QR codes have no built-in analytics — that is also why they stay free forever. If you need counts, route the QR through a short link with tracking first, then paste that short address here instead of the raw video address.
The QR still scans but opens an error page, since the address it holds no longer plays. Keep videos public, or generate a fresh QR pointing at the replacement video and swap the printouts. A quick scan-test after reprinting catches dead links early.
Yes — if you check the preview first. Your phone shows the link before opening it. If the address looks wrong, close it. Our codes are static: they hold only text, run nothing, and phone nothing home. The risk never comes from the square itself. It comes from a bad link hiding inside it.
No. A QR code is a picture of text. It cannot run programs or install apps by itself. The worst it can do is open a bad web page — and your phone shows you that address first. Read the preview, skip odd links, and scanning stays safe.
Ours is. Everything runs in your browser: your link never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored. Many free tools upload your data or demand an email first. Ask two questions before any generator: does it need an account, and does my data leave my phone?
Fake codes that point at lookalike login pages to steal passwords. They hide on posters, parking meters, and emails. Defense is simple: read the preview address before tapping, and type important addresses by hand. Our static codes cannot redirect or change after printing, so what you check is what you get.
Ours never do. A static code stores the data inside the pattern itself, so no server exists that could switch it off. Print it on a menu or a van and it scans in ten years. Codes that stop working are dynamic ones whose subscription lapsed — a calendar problem, not a code problem.
