How to convert a PPTX file to QR code for free?

QR Codes
1

You can convert a PowerPoint (PPTX) file to a QR code for free using two methods:

  • by uploading your file directly to a platform like Linko, or
  • by first uploading it to cloud storage like Google Drive, then linking it to a QR code.

The first method is faster and cleaner — no third-party file links required.

This is the easiest way to turn your PPTX into a QR code without using cloud services.

Steps:

  1. Sign up for a free account at Linko.

  2. Go to the Create QR section from your dashboard.

  5. Customize your QR design with colors, logos, and frames if you want.

  6. Click Generate, then download your unique QR code.

When someone scans the code, they’ll be taken to a page where they can view or download the PPTX file directly, no ads, no redirects.

Why this works well:

  • You skip uploading to Google Drive or Dropbox.
  • You get tracking analytics (if enabled).
  • You can edit or replace the file later without changing the QR code.

This is great for teachers, marketers, and business users sharing slides via print or screen.

If your file is large or you’re not ready to sign up, this workaround works too.

Steps:

  1. Upload your PPTX to Google Drive or Dropbox.

  2. Get a shareable public link.

  3. Go to a free QR code generator like Linko, QRCode Monkey, or MeQR.

  4. Choose “URL” QR type.

  5. Paste the share link and generate your QR code.

Anyone who scans the code will be redirected to your cloud-hosted file.

Use case tip:

This method is better when you need to share larger PPTX files (over 5MB) or already use cloud storage regularly.

:brain: Final Thoughts

If you want full control, the ability to update your file later, and a clean user experience, use Linko’s file upload option.

It’s faster and gives you tracking tools most free QR code services don’t include. For occasional use or bigger files, the Google Drive link method also works well.

Both methods let you share your PowerPoint presentations via QR code easily, whether it’s for posters, printouts, slideshows, or classroom handouts.
