Make PDFs, menus or manuals available by scan – optionally password-protected.

Create free account

A file upload QR code links to a file you upload directly to QRown — a PDF, menu or instruction manual, for example. The code itself stays the same even if you update the underlying file later.

Upload a file

Upload a PDF, image or document directly to QRown.

2

Configure access

Optionally set password protection and an expiry date.

Frequently asked questions

Which file formats are supported?

PDF, images and the most common document formats can be uploaded.

Can I swap the file later?

Yes, that's the advantage of this type: the QR code stays identical while you can replace the underlying file anytime.

Do I need an account for this?

Yes, file uploads are a dynamic feature and require a free account.

How large can the file be?

The maximum file size depends on your plan — see the pricing page for details.

What happens after the access date expires?

After expiry, the QR code shows a notice page instead of the file — the file itself stays in your account and can be reactivated.
