QR code in Word

Add a QR code to a Microsoft Word document, flyer or report that links to anything — and stays editable and trackable after you share it. Completely 100% free with no limits.

Can you add a QR code in Word?

Yes. Adding a QR code in Word is a simple way to send readers of a document, flyer or report from the page to a link — a website, a form, a video or your contact details. The quickest methods, including Word's own add-ins, tend to make static codes that are fixed once the document is shared.

Busalab makes a dynamic code instead: create it here, download it as a PNG or SVG, and insert it into your Word document like any image. Now the QR code in your Word file is editable — repoint it after sharing — and trackable, so you see how many people scanned.

And it's completely 100% free with no limits — unlimited codes, unlimited scans and no expiry. (Busalab isn't affiliated with Microsoft; it simply works alongside Word and Office.)

Why a dynamic code beats a static one in a document

Documents get reused and re-sent for months — the same report, the same flyer, the same template. A static code baked into a Word file can't follow a link that changes, but a dynamic one can: repoint it whenever the destination moves, without re-sharing the document.

You also get analytics, which a basic qr code generator for Word document can't offer — see how many readers scanned your code and acted on it.

How to add a QR code in Microsoft Word

Create your code in Busalab, set your colours and logo, and download it — choose SVG to stay sharp in print, or PNG for quick use. In Word, go to Insert ▸ Pictures, add the file, and position it on the page. That's how to create a QR code in Microsoft Word, with no add-in to install.

It's the same in the rest of Office: drop the image into Excel, Outlook or a Microsoft Word flyer. Whether you're creating QR codes in Word for a report or a handout, the workflow is identical — and the code stays editable from Busalab.

Edit and track after sharing

Once your document is sent round or printed, you can still repoint the code from Busalab and see the scans — how many, when and from where. A Word document you shared last month can keep sending readers to an up-to-date link today.

With no scan limit or expiry, a code you put in a Word file keeps working for as long as the document is in use.

Free, unlimited and on-brand

Every code is free to create, host and update, with unlimited scans and no expiry. Brand each one with your colours and logo so it fits your template. Whether you call it a Word QR code generator, a Microsoft Word QR code generator, or a qr code generator for Word document files, it's the same free tool — a free Microsoft QR generator and a QR code generator Microsoft Word documents can use.

It works the same with Microsoft Forms, OneNote and the rest of Office — design where you like, just insert a smarter code.
