Recipients scan & download
Any file. Password-protected. One scan.
Simple by design
Drag and drop any file — PDF, ZIP, DOCX, MP4, PSD, or any other format up to 5 GB. BarMake stores it securely and generates a unique download link instantly.
Protect the download with a password so only intended recipients can access it. Optionally set an expiry date after which the link deactivates automatically — no manual cleanup needed.
Download your QR code and share it anywhere — print it, embed it in a slide, or post it on a screen. Anyone who scans it lands on your branded download page and enters the password to get the file.
Everything included
Share PDFs, ZIPs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, images, audio files, videos, design files, and more. No format restrictions — if you can save it, you can share it via QR.
Add a password to any file link so only the intended recipients can download it. Recipients enter the password on the download page — no BarMake account required on their end.
See exactly who downloaded your file, when, and from where. Per-file download counts, timestamped logs, and geographic breakdowns give you full visibility into who accessed your content.
Set an automatic expiry date on any file link. After the deadline, the QR code stops working and the download page shows a friendly expired message — no manual deactivation needed.
Replace BarMake's default download page with your own logo, brand colors, and custom message. Recipients land on a page that looks like it came directly from your organization.
Upload multiple files at once and generate a QR code for each in a single batch. Download all QR codes as a ZIP, or export them on a PDF sheet ready to print and distribute.
Get an instant email alert every time someone downloads your file. Know exactly when your confidential report, course material, or event asset has been accessed — no need to check the dashboard.
Group multiple files into a folder and share the entire collection with a single QR code. Perfect for event media packs, course modules, or project deliverables with multiple attachments.
Why BarMake
Generic file sharing tools were built for link sharing — not QR codes. BarMake gives you password protection, download tracking, and expiry dates with a purpose-built QR workflow.
