Why convert your PDF instead of rebuilding it
Your menu design stays exactly as it is — it just becomes scannable.
Keep the PDF you already have
No re-typing. Upload the menu file your designer made and it becomes a scannable link.
Swap the file, keep the code
Upload a new PDF whenever prices change — every printed QR code points at the new version.
Reads well on phones
Guests open your menu straight from the camera, no app and no pinch-to-zoom guesswork.
Print-ready downloads
Get your QR code as PNG, SVG or a print-ready PDF for tables, windows and takeaway bags.
See how often it's scanned
Track scans by day so you know whether the table tents are actually being used.

Step-by-step guide
Export your menu as a PDF
Save your menu from Canva, Word or your designer's file as a PDF. Keep it under 10MB.
Tip: Compress image-heavy menus so they open fast on mobile data.
Upload it above
Choose the file — we check it's a genuine PDF and host it securely.
Tip: Multi-page menus work fine; guests can scroll through every page.
Pick a colour and generate
Choose a dark colour that matches your brand, then hit Generate QR Code. Each code is tracked so you can see scans.
Tip: Dark codes on a light background scan most reliably.
Download, test and print
Download the PNG, scan it with your own phone, then print it for tables, counters and windows.
Tip: Print at least 2.5cm (1 inch) wide for easy scanning.
PDF menu QR code FAQ
How do I turn a PDF menu into a QR code?
Upload your PDF on the generator page, pick your colours, and download the QR code. Scanning it opens your menu PDF on any phone. It takes about two minutes.
Can I replace the PDF later without reprinting?
Yes. Upload a new file to the same menu and every QR code already printed will show the updated version instantly.
Is converting a PDF menu to a QR code free?
Yes — free forever, with no signup and no credit card required.
What size should my menu PDF be?
Anything up to a few megabytes works well. Smaller files open faster on mobile data, so compress image-heavy menus if you can.
Do guests need an app?
No. Any modern phone camera opens the menu directly from the QR code.
