Create QR Codes from a CSV List in Adobe Illustrator

Prepare destinations before importing

Start with a small list of complete website URLs. For example, https://example.com/item-a and https://example.com/item-b demonstrate the format only; replace them with your own working destinations. Remove accidental spaces and duplicates. Avoid including private access tokens in a public QR code.

Review the batch in the panel

1. Open Batch Layout and provide the URL list or CSV using the supported input.
2. Inspect the parsed values rather than assuming every spreadsheet column is interpreted as intended.
3. Choose the layout and common appearance. The Create and Batch screens share the style and color controls.
4. Generate a small sample first. Inspect its order and size before generating the full batch.

The documented limit is 100 codes per batch. This creates QR artwork; it does not import variable-data artwork templates.

Keep a reliable destination mapping

Keep the source list alongside the Illustrator document. Verify a sample from the beginning, middle and end, and check every destination when correctness is critical. A visually similar set of QR codes is easy to reorder accidentally.

Export without losing the margin

Check artboard boundaries and preserve the complete quiet zone. Inspect the resulting PDF, SVG or raster output at delivery size and scan actual examples. Automation does not remove the need for a print proof or destination checks.
