Zoom QR Code Generator (Free)

1. 1

   Copy the meeting link

   In Zoom, open the meeting and copy its invite link. For a code you’ll print, use a recurring meeting or your personal meeting room, which keep the same link.

2. 2

   Paste it above

   The generator warns you if the link includes the passcode.

3. 3

   Style it (optional)

   Pick colors and add your logo.

4. 4

   Download it

   Download a PNG for slides and screens, or an SVG for print.

5. 5

   Test it

   Scan it with your phone: it should open the meeting in the Zoom app.

The code holds the meeting link. Scanning it opens the Zoom app, or the browser, ready to join.

/j/12345678901

The meeting ID.

?pwd=…

The passcode, so people join without typing it. Anyone with the code can join.

Zoom meeting links don’t last forever: links to one-off meetings expire 30 days after the scheduled date, and links to recurring meetings a year after the meeting was last started. Your personal meeting room keeps the same link.

For Zoom QR codes

• If the passcode is in the link, anyone who scans can join. Turn on the waiting room for meetings that shouldn’t be open to everyone.
• Put the meeting’s name, day and time next to the code.
• On a slide, make the code big: people scan it from their seats.

For any printed QR code

• Size: print the code at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide for something held in the hand. For signs and posters, make it about a tenth of the scanning distance: roughly 10 cm (4 in) wide to scan from 1 m (3 ft).
• Contrast: use a dark code on a light background. Light-on-dark codes and pale brand colors fail on some phones.
• Quiet zone: keep a blank border of at least 4 modules (the code’s small squares) around it. Don’t crop it or put text and graphics right up against the code.
• File type: use the SVG for print, since it stays sharp at any size. The 2048 px PNG is enough for print up to about 17 cm (6.8 in) wide at 300 dpi.
• Surface: avoid glare from glossy laminate, tight curves (bottles, cups) and folds that cut through the code.
• Test: scan a printed proof with an iPhone and an Android phone, at the real distance and in the real lighting, before you print in bulk.

Dynamic codes suit meetings well: when the link changes or a one-off meeting expires, you point the code at the new link instead of reprinting, and you can see how many people scanned.

Dynamic codes need a free CirculateQR account. On the free plan a dynamic code stays live for 14 days after you publish it; on a paid plan your codes stay live with no time limit, or you can keep a single code for a one-time $5.

The code you make on this page is static: free, permanent and private, but fixed once printed. Static and dynamic codes compared.
