What Is an Excel QR Code Generator?

An Excel QR code generator reads a native Excel workbook (.xlsx or .xls) directly and creates one QR code per row, using whichever column you choose. This tool parses the real spreadsheet file format in your browser — you don't need to export it to CSV first, and multi-sheet workbooks are fully supported with a sheet picker.

If you'd rather work from a CSV file (or your spreadsheet software only exports CSV), the CSV to QR Code Generator does the same job for that format. If you'd rather type or paste a plain list, the Bulk QR Code Generator skips file upload entirely.

How to Generate QR Codes From Excel

  1. Upload your .xlsx or .xls file — it's parsed entirely in your browser.
  2. Choose a sheet if your workbook has more than one.
  3. Check the preview table and pick which column to encode, and optionally a label column.
  4. Generate and download each code individually, or grab them all as a ZIP file.

Where to Use Excel-Generated QR Codes

  • Inventory or asset spreadsheets maintained directly in Excel.
  • HR or membership rosters exported from an internal system.
  • Multi-sheet workbooks where different sheets need different batches of codes.
  • Any Excel-based workflow where re-exporting to CSV each time is a hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Excel QR code generator free?

Yes. Uploading a workbook and generating QR codes with this tool is completely free, with no account required.

Does it work with old .xls files, or just .xlsx?

Both. The parser supports the modern .xlsx format as well as the older .xls binary format.

What if my workbook has multiple sheets?

A sheet picker appears automatically once your file loads — choose the sheet you want, and the preview and column list update to match it.

How many rows can I process?

Up to 300 rows per sheet. If your sheet has more, only the first 300 data rows are used.

Is my Excel file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read and parsed entirely in your browser using JavaScript, and every QR code (plus the ZIP file) is generated locally. Nothing is sent anywhere.
