How to Create a QR Code With Multiple Links (One Code, Many URLs)

Not directly. A QR code encodes one string of text. When a phone scans it, the camera reads that string and, if it looks like a web address, opens it. There is no format that says "here are four URLs, let the user pick one." If you paste several addresses into a static generator, you get one long, broken string that either fails to scan or opens a 404 page.

So the real question is not how to put multiple links in a QR code. It is how to make one QR code lead to multiple links. There are three workable answers, plus a fourth that only makes sense in specific situations:

• A hosted multi-link page: a dynamic code that opens a page listing your links, managed from the same tool that made the code.
• Your own landing page: a page on your website with the links, and a QR code that points to it.
• A link-in-bio page: Linktree or a similar service, with a QR code pointing to your profile URL.
• Several QR codes side by side: one code per destination, printed together.

The first three all follow the same principle: the QR code holds one URL, and that URL opens a page with many links. What differs is who hosts the page, how easy it is to edit, and whether you can change it after printing.

A multi-link QR code, sometimes called a multi-URL QR code, is a dynamic QR code whose destination is a simple mobile page that the QR tool hosts for you. The code itself contains a short redirect link. When someone scans it, the page loads with a list of buttons: website, social profiles, booking, menu, whatever you added. They tap the one they want.

This is the most direct answer to "create a QR code with multiple links" because everything happens in one place. You do not need a website, a separate link-in-bio account, or any design work. You type in the links, give each one a label, and the tool generates both the page and the code.

Because the code is dynamic, the printed pattern never changes. Add a link next month, remove one that no longer matters, or reorder them by priority, and every code already on a card, sticker, or sign reflects the change on the next scan. Most dynamic tools also count scans, so you know whether the code on your packaging is actually being used.

The trade-off is the same as for any dynamic code: the page lives on the provider's service, and it stays online as long as your account is active. If you are choosing between static and dynamic for a project like this, the static vs dynamic comparison walks through when each one fits.

If you already have a website, the cheapest route is a page on your own domain. Create something like yoursite.com/links, add large tappable buttons for each destination, and generate a QR code that points to that page. Any QR generator can do this, static or dynamic.

The advantages are control and branding. The page uses your domain, your fonts, your colors, and nobody else's logo. You can add a headline, a photo, a short intro, or even an email signup form next to the links. You can also drop your own analytics on the page and see which link people tap after scanning.

The downside is maintenance. Someone has to build the page, keep it mobile-friendly, and edit it when links change. On a site builder such as WordPress, Squarespace, or Shopify that is a few minutes of work. On a hand-coded site it depends on who has access.

One important detail: if you print a static QR code pointing to yoursite.com/links, that URL is permanent. If you later move the page or rebuild the site under a new address, the printed code breaks. Either keep the URL stable forever or point a dynamic QR code at it so you can redirect later.

Link-in-bio services (Linktree, Beacons, Bio.site, and dozens of others) exist to solve the same problem on Instagram and TikTok, where you get a single profile link. If you already have one of these pages, you can turn it into a QR code in seconds: copy your profile URL and paste it into any generator.

Most of these services offer a free tier that covers unlimited links and basic themes, with paid plans for custom branding, analytics, and removing the provider's logo. For a creator who lives on social platforms, this is a natural fit. If your links are mostly social profiles, the guide on one QR code for all your social media covers that setup in detail.

The weaknesses show up when you use the page for business rather than personal branding. Your links sit on someone else's domain, the free tier shows their branding, and you are one policy change away from a redesign you did not ask for. For a restaurant, a clinic, or a real estate listing, a hosted multi-link page or your own landing page usually looks more professional.

Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need one code for multiple links. You need two or three codes with clear labels. This works when each destination serves a completely different purpose and the person scanning already knows which one they want.

A conference badge with "Scan for the schedule" and "Scan for the venue map" is faster than a single code that opens a menu. A product box with one code for the manual and another for warranty registration saves the customer a tap. A flyer in two languages can carry one code per language.

Keep it to two or three codes maximum, label each one in plain words, and leave enough space between them so a phone camera does not lock onto the wrong one. Beyond three, the layout gets cluttered and a single multi-link page becomes the better choice.

The steps are the same whichever tool you use. The only real decision is where the link page lives: inside the QR tool, on your site, or on a link-in-bio service.

In MQRG on iPhone or iPad, this is a single content type. Create a new smart QR code, choose Multi-Links, and add each URL with a label. The app hosts a mobile page listing your links, generates the code, and lets you edit the list at any time from the same screen. Scan tracking is included, and you can turn on notifications to know when someone scans the code.

Whatever tool you pick, test the finished code with at least two phones before printing. Scan it, tap every link, and make sure each one opens the right destination. A typo in one URL is much easier to fix on screen than on five hundred business cards.

A multi-link page is a menu, and menus work best when they are short. A few rules that hold up across every tool:

• Keep it to three to six links. Someone who just scanned a code on a table or a poster has a few seconds of attention. Every extra option lowers the chance they tap any of them.
• Order by priority, not alphabet. Put the action you most want first: book, buy, follow, or call. Secondary links go below.
• Use clear labels. "Reserve a table" beats "Website." "Watch the demo" beats "YouTube." The label should describe what happens after the tap.
• Pick one primary call to action. If the tool lets you highlight a button, use it on exactly one link. Two highlighted buttons cancel each other out.
• Match the context. A code on a restaurant table should lead with the menu and reviews. The same business's code on a flyer downtown should lead with directions and hours. If the contexts are that different, make two codes.
• Add a name and a photo or logo. People want confirmation that they scanned the right thing. A recognizable header does that in half a second.

Review the list every few months. Dead links and outdated promotions are the fastest way to make a scanned page feel abandoned.

Partly. Here is what is free and what usually is not:

Static QR codes are free everywhere, but they cannot do multi-link on their own. A static code holds one fixed URL, so it only helps if that URL already leads to a page with your links.

A landing page on your own site is free if you already have a site. Build the page, point a static code at it, and you pay nothing extra. The cost is your time, and you must never change that page's URL after printing.

Link-in-bio services have free tiers with enough features for most personal use. You give up custom branding and, usually, analytics until you pay.

Dynamic QR tools with a hosted multi-link page are typically paid or have a free tier with limits on the number of codes, scans, or how long the code stays active. Read the terms before printing anything: a "free" dynamic code that expires after a trial period will stop working on every card you handed out. The article on whether QR codes expire explains exactly which codes can stop working and why.

The practical rule: if you need editability after printing, budget for a dynamic service. If you are confident the links will never change and you have a site, a static code to your own page costs nothing.

The strongest case for a multi-link code is any printed surface that is expensive or impossible to replace, combined with links that change. A dynamic code covers both: the print stays, the links move. Point the code at a hosted multi-link page, and updates take a minute instead of a reprint. Add scan tracking and you also learn which placements pull their weight.

• Business cards. Replace the row of tiny social icons with one code that opens your portfolio, LinkedIn, calendar, and contact card. If contact details are the main goal, a vCard QR code may be the better format.
• Product packaging. Manual, setup video, warranty registration, support, and a review link, all behind one code printed on thousands of boxes.
• Event badges and signage. Schedule, venue map, speaker list, and feedback form. Swap the feedback form in on the last day without touching a single badge. More placement ideas in the guide to QR codes for events.
• Restaurant tables. Menu, reservations, reviews, and Instagram. Seasonal menus and new booking platforms are just link edits.
• Real estate signs. Listing page, virtual tour, agent contact, and mortgage calculator. When the property sells, load the next listing's links onto the same sign.
• Multi-location businesses. One code on shared marketing material can list every location's page, or the directions, hours, and booking link for each branch, without printing separate collateral per site.

In each case, the code holds one URL and the page behind it does the rest. That is the whole trick behind a QR code with multiple links, and once you have set one up, changing what it opens is the easy part.
