📖 How to Create an Excel QR Code

Upload to Cloud Storage
Upload your Excel file to OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, or Dropbox. This creates a permanent online version that can be accessed via URL.
Get the Share Link
Right-click the file and select Share. Set the access level (View or Edit), then copy the link. For OneDrive: ensure "Anyone with the link" is selected for public QR codes.
Choose Your Platform
Select OneDrive, SharePoint, or Drive/Other depending on where the file is hosted. Paste your share link and add an optional file label.
Generate & Customise
Click Generate — your QR code appears instantly. Apply Excel Green or your brand colours. Add a company logo for branded codes.
Download & Test
Download SVG for print or PNG for digital. Test the scan on both iPhone and Android to confirm the Excel file opens correctly before distribution.
Display & Share
Print on reports, conference materials, whiteboards, or office signage. The QR always opens the latest version of the file — no need to reprint when data changes.

📖 Complete Guide to Excel QR Codes

Excel spreadsheets are at the heart of business operations worldwide — from financial modelling and inventory tracking to project management and HR reporting. Yet sharing Excel files remains cumbersome: email attachments create version conflicts, and long OneDrive URLs are impossible to type or remember. An Excel QR code solves this by encoding your file link into a scannable image that anyone can open in seconds from any device.

OneDrive vs SharePoint vs Google Drive

OneDrive is ideal for personal or team files shared with a broad audience. Use it for reports, templates, and dashboards you share outside your organisation. SharePoint is the enterprise standard — use it for internal files with controlled access tiers. Google Drive allows sharing .xlsx files without conversion, useful when your audience may not have Microsoft 365.

View-Only vs Edit Access

For printed QR codes on reports, conference materials, or office signage, always use View-only links. This prevents accidental edits by anyone who scans. Reserve Edit-access QR codes for internal whiteboards and collaborative team spaces where updates are expected and tracked.

Pro Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

For OneDrive: right-click the file → Share → set "Anyone with the link" → Copy. For SharePoint: open the file → Share in the toolbar → configure access → Copy link. For Google Drive: right-click → Share → change to "Anyone with the link" → Copy link.
Only if you shared the file with Edit permission. If you want read-only access, set the permission to View when generating the share link in OneDrive or SharePoint.
Yes. The QR encodes a live link — any updates you make to the Excel file in OneDrive or SharePoint are immediately visible to anyone who scans the QR. No need to regenerate the QR code.
The QR image never expires. However, the sharing link it encodes may expire if your organisation has set link expiry in OneDrive/SharePoint policies. Use a permanent sharing link for printed QR codes.
No. All QR code generation happens entirely in your browser. Your file URL never leaves your device and is never stored on our servers.
Yes. Expand the Customise section, upload your logo (PNG, JPG, or SVG up to 500 KB), and it will be placed in the centre of the QR. We automatically switch to Level H error correction to keep the code scannable with the logo overlay.
Yes. Use the Drive/Other tab and paste any file share link — Google Sheets, CSV on Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or any publicly accessible spreadsheet URL will work perfectly.
