Adobe Express can make a QR if you have an Adobe account. A free Adobe QR code maker alternative is the QR generator. No Adobe login. Paste the URL, click Generate, print or download PNG.

Good to know: We are not Adobe. Express is fine for a graphic in a flyer. This is for a scannable sticker, WiFi, vCard, and Excel.

How to make a QR without Adobe

Paste the link.
Click Generate.

When to use Adobe

Use Express when the QR sits inside a designed poster. Use this when you need the QR on thermal stock or a 2x2 sticker that must scan.

Print or save

Zebra thermal: print from the browser with Browser Print at the printer’s DPI. Everyone else: download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON keeps the editable master.
