MaiImg QR Code Generation Guide

Need a QR code for an image? Upload → get QR → share. The entire process takes 30 seconds and requires no account for basic use.

Quick Start: 4 Steps

Step 1 — Open maiimg.com

Step 2 — Upload your image (drag-and-drop or click to browse)

• Supported: PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WebP
• Max size: 50 MB per image
• Batch: up to 25 images at once

Step 3 — Wait 3–5 seconds for processing

Step 4 — Download the QR code (right-click → save, or copy to clipboard)

Done. The QR code links directly to your image.

What the QR Code Does

When someone scans the QR code with their phone camera:

1. Their browser opens automatically
2. The full-resolution image loads
3. They can view, zoom, and (if allowed) download the image

No app installation required. Works on every smartphone with a camera.

Customizing Your QR Code’s Behavior

After upload, adjust settings to control the experience:

Allow or Block Downloads

Toggle the download button. When off, viewers can see the image but can’t save it to their device.

Set a View Limit

Cap how many times the QR code can be scanned. After the limit, scans show an “unavailable” message.

Set an Expiration

The QR code stops working after your chosen date. Perfect for time-limited campaigns or events.
