Why use this Video QR code generator
-
Skip typing a link on a phone
A scan is faster and more reliable than typing a long video URL on a small keyboard.
-
Works with any video host
YouTube, Vimeo, or a link to a video hosted anywhere else — if it has a URL, it works.
-
Free, unlimited
Generate as many video QR codes as you need, for as many videos or campaigns as you like.
-
Private by design
The code is built entirely in your browser — the link you paste never touches a server.
-
Print-ready
Download a sharp PNG for packaging, posters, table tents, or printed guides.
-
No re-uploading required
Point straight to a video that already exists online — nothing to re-upload or re-host.

Frequently asked questions
- How does a video QR code work?
- It encodes the exact video link you paste in. Scanning it opens that video directly in a browser or the relevant app (like YouTube).
- Does this work with any video platform?
- Yes — YouTube, Vimeo, or a direct link to a video file hosted anywhere else. If it opens as a URL, it works here.
- Can I link to a specific point in the video?
- Yes — paste a link that already includes a timestamp (most platforms add one when you use their 'share at this time' option), and the QR code will open the video at that point.
- Is my video link sent to a server?
- No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
- Does the code stop working if I delete or unlist the video?
- The code is static and always points to the link you entered — if the video is removed or made private, the code itself keeps working but the link will no longer play.
- Can I track how many people scanned it?
- Not with this tool — it produces a static code with no built-in scan tracking. Some video platforms provide their own view analytics separately.
- Can I use this for a private or unlisted video?
- Yes — paste the private or unlisted link exactly as your video platform gives it to you. Anyone who scans still needs whatever access that link normally requires.
