How to use this QR code generator
Select the type of QR code you want — URL, plain text, email, phone, Wi-Fi, or SMS. Fill in the details, customize the colors and size if needed, and click Generate. The QR code is drawn instantly in your browser and you can download it as a PNG at any size. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
When would you use a QR code?
- Sharing a website link — Put a QR code on a flyer, business card, or poster so people can visit your site by scanning with their phone camera instead of typing a URL.
- Restaurant and event menus — Link a QR code to a digital menu or event programme that can be updated without reprinting physical materials.
- Wi-Fi sharing — Generate a Wi-Fi QR code to let guests connect to your network instantly by scanning, without reading out a long password.
- Business cards — Add a QR code linking to your LinkedIn profile, portfolio, or contact page so people can connect immediately after meeting you.
- Product packaging — Link to product pages, manuals, tutorial videos, or warranty registration forms.
- Marketing campaigns — Track offline-to-online conversions by generating a unique QR code URL for each print campaign.
How does this compare to other QR code generators?
QR Code Generator, QRCode Monkey, and similar tools generate QR codes server-side and often require an account for downloads above a certain size. This tool generates QR codes entirely in your browser at any size up to 1000px with no account, no watermark, and no daily limit.
What size should I choose?
For digital use (websites, email, presentations) 300px is sufficient. For print on business cards, use 500px or 1000px — larger sizes keep the QR code sharp when scaled up for printing. Always test that your QR code scans correctly before sending to print.
Can I use a colored QR code?
Yes — use the color pickers to customize the QR code and background colors. Make sure there is sufficient contrast between them for scanners to work reliably. Dark QR on a light background works best. Very light colors or low contrast can cause scanning failures.
How long does a QR code last?
A QR code itself does not expire — it is just an encoded pattern. However, if the URL it points to goes down or changes, the QR code will stop working. For permanent uses, make sure the linked URL will remain stable.
Can I add a logo to the QR code?
This tool generates standard QR codes without a center logo. QR codes are error-correcting, which means a logo overlapping the center is technically possible, but requires careful testing to ensure the code still scans reliably.
