You can’t directly convert a .html file into a QR code, but you can upload that file online and then convert the URL into a QR code for free.
Use any HTML code or file hosting site or your web server, then use a free QR code generator to create either a static or dynamic QR code.
How to Convert an HTML File to QR Code Online
To convert your .html file into a scannable QR code, you first need to make the file accessible on the internet.
The QR code itself doesn’t store full HTML files. Instead, it holds a URL that links to your content.
Here’s how to make that work:
-
Upload your HTML file to a public server or file host like GitHub Pages, Google Drive (with public sharing), Dropbox, or any hosting service that gives you a shareable link.
-
Copy the public URL of your uploaded HTML file.
-
Go to Linko’s link to QR code creator, it’s 100% free and doesn’t ask for signups if you just want a basic QR code.
-
Paste your link, generate, and download the QR in your preferred format (PNG, SVG, or WEBP).
If you want to track scans or edit the link later, you’ll need a dynamic QR code instead.

-
Go to the QR code tool, and select “Link/URL” as the type.
-
Paste your hosted file link and give it a name.

-
Download your QR in high quality.
You can edit the link or disable the QR anytime from your dashboard.
Why Use a QR Code for an HTML File?
- Share test web pages or landing pages easily.
- Let users scan and view your hosted portfolio or resume.
- Use it in printed materials like flyers or packaging.
Using Linko’s free QR code tool, you get a fast, no-login option for static QR codes and a free dynamic solution if you want tracking.
Just remember: the QR code can’t store your file directly; it only points to where it lives online.
