Documents QR code generator
One code, a whole folder of files. Anyone who scans it sees the list on their phone, opens a PDF in place or saves a spreadsheet, and next month’s version goes behind the same code.
What a Documents code does
A Documents code opens a hosted page with a title, a short introduction and your files in the order you choose. Each file shows its type, its size and an Open or Download button, so a manual, a spec sheet and a price list sit behind one square instead of three.
Upload PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, images and ZIPs. Replace a file, rename it or move it up the list and the printed code shows the new page at once. Turn on Download all and visitors get every file as one ZIP. Put a password on the page and nothing on it, not even the file names, shows until it is entered.
It suits anything that comes as a set: a restaurant’s allergen sheet next to its menu PDF, a conference’s schedule, map and speaker list, a property’s floor plan and energy certificate, or staff handbooks and rotas that only the team should open, behind a password.

QuestionsDocuments QR code questions
- How is a Documents code different from a PDF code?
- A PDF code holds one PDF. A Documents code holds several files on one page, in an order you set, and adds Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images and ZIPs. If you only have one PDF, the PDF code is the simpler choice.
- How many files can I put behind one code?
- 10 on Starter, 20 on Pro and 50 on Business, and up to 100 on Enterprise. Free has no hosted pages. Each file can be up to 25 MB and counts towards your plan’s file storage.
- Which file types work?
- PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), PNG, JPEG and WebP images, and ZIP archives. PDFs and images open in the browser; Office files and ZIPs download. We do not accept programs, scripts, macro-enabled Office files or older .doc, .xls and .ppt files.
- Can I protect the files with a password?
- Yes, on paid plans. The page asks for the password first, and the files, their names and their sizes stay hidden until it is entered. Files are never public links: each one is handed out only after the page lets the visitor in.
- Can visitors download everything at once?
- Yes. Switch on Download all and the page shows one button for a ZIP of every file, in your order. After you change the files it takes a moment to prepare, and the button says so.
- Can I see which files get downloaded?
- Yes. The code’s analytics show downloads by file, split into files opened in the browser and files saved, so you see which manual or price list people actually want.
- Can I swap a file after the code is printed?
- Yes. Upload the new version, move it into place and save. The printed code opens the updated page straight away.
- Do visitors need an app?
- No. The page is a normal web page and the files open or save with the phone’s own tools.
