Turn a 3D model into an AR QR code
Upload a GLB, GLTF or USDZ file and get a QR code that opens your model in augmented reality. People scan it with their normal phone camera and see the product in their own space, at real size. No app to install.
Free account: 3 models, live 24 hours, plain QR code. Pro, $5 a month: 20 models that never expire, your logo and colours on the code.
Make an AR QR code in four steps
Upload your 3D model
Drop a GLB, GLTF or USDZ file (up to 60MB) on the upload page. GLB works best on both iPhone and Android.
Get your link and QR code
ARView creates a shareable AR link and a QR code for the model straight away.
Design the code
With Pro, add your logo, change colours and dot style, add a frame and a call to action like "Scan to view in AR".
Download and print
Download PNG or SVG, up to print size. Test it on two phones, then put it on packaging, menus, posters or cards.
Put AR on anything printed
Product packaging
A code on the box lets buyers see the product assembled, at real size, before they open it or when they decide to buy another.
Catalogues and brochures
Furniture, lighting and decor catalogues can link every item to a 3D model customers place in their own room.
Restaurant menus
Diners scan a code and see the dish on their table before ordering. See 3D menus for restaurants.
Trade shows and showrooms
Show the full range without shipping every product. Each stand card opens a different model.
Business cards and flyers
Designers, architects and 3D artists can put a piece of their work on a card that people can see in AR.
3D on the printed page
Want the product to appear standing on the printed image itself? Use 3D on Print. For a video on the image, use Video AR.

Printing a code? Use Pro, so the model does not expire after 24 hours while the code is still out in the world.
Make sure every scan works
- Print at least 2 x 2 cm on small items, larger on posters people scan from a distance.
- Keep dark dots on a light background and leave a clear margin around the code.
- Add a short line next to it, such as "Scan to see it in your room".
- Keep the 3D file light, ideally under 10MB, so it opens quickly on mobile data.
- Test the printed proof on an iPhone and an Android phone before the full print run.
AR QR code FAQ
What is an AR QR code?
An AR QR code is a normal QR code that links to a 3D model or AR experience. When someone scans it with their phone camera, the model opens in augmented reality, so they can place it in their own space and walk around it.
Do people need an app to scan an AR QR code?
No. The built-in camera on iPhone and Android reads the code, and the model opens in the phone browser using Apple Quick Look or Google Scene Viewer.
Which 3D file formats can I use?
GLB, GLTF and USDZ, up to 60MB. GLB is the best choice because it works on both iPhone and Android.
Is the AR QR code generator free?
You can make an AR QR code free with a free account (3 models, each live for 24 hours, plain black and white code). For anything you print, use Pro at $5 a month: 20 models that never expire, and your logo, colours and a frame on the code.
How big should I print an AR QR code?
At least 2 x 2 cm on packaging and business cards, and larger on posters that people scan from a distance. Keep strong contrast, leave a clear margin around the code, and test it on an iPhone and an Android phone before printing.
Can I change the 3D model after printing the QR code?
The QR code points to the model's ARView link. Keep that model in your account (Pro models never expire) and the printed code keeps working.
