How to use
- Type or paste your content — a URL, Wi-Fi details, plain text, or contact card.
- Choose the QR type (link, text, Wi-Fi, vCard) so scanners interpret it correctly.
- Watch the QR code update live; adjust error-correction level if it will be printed small.
- Click Download PNG to save a high-resolution image for print or sharing.
FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes — every tool on this site is 100% free with no limits, no signup and no watermarks.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
Do the QR codes expire?
No. The QR codes generated here encode your data directly — there is no tracking server and no expiry. They work forever, offline, as long as the encoded link itself stays valid.
What can I put in a QR code?
URLs, plain text, Wi-Fi network credentials (SSID + password), contact cards (vCard), email addresses, phone numbers, and SMS messages. Keep content under ~300 characters for the most reliable scanning.
Will it scan if printed very small?
Use a high error-correction level and test with your phone before mass printing. As a rule, keep the code at least 2 × 2 cm, with quiet-zone (white margin) intact and good contrast — never invert to white-on-black.
Is my data tracked or stored?
No. The QR is generated with a JavaScript library entirely in your browser. We never see, log, or store what you encode — unlike many online generators that monetize your data.
QR Code Generator — Complete Guide
QR codes bridge the physical and digital worlds: one scan connects a poster to a website, a business card to a contact, or a café table to the Wi-Fi. This QR Code Generator creates them instantly, privately, and free — with no accounts, watermarks, or tracking.
What QR codes can hold
- URLs: link to websites, menus, videos, or app downloads. Use short URLs for denser, easier-to-scan codes.
- Wi-Fi: encode SSID, password, and encryption type so guests join with one scan — no more dictating passwords.
- vCard contacts: share your name, phone, and email; scanners offer to save you directly to the address book.
- Plain text & more: event details, discount codes, email drafts, or SMS messages.
Design tips that actually matter
- Contrast is king: black on white scans best. Fancy colors look nice but fail in poor lighting.
- Keep the quiet zone: the white margin around the code is part of the standard — don't crop it.
- Size for distance: a code scanned from 1 meter away should be at least 10 cm wide. Test with a real phone.
- Error correction: higher levels survive damage and logos, but make the code denser. Medium is the sweet spot for print.
Smart use cases
Restaurants put menu QR codes on tables; real-estate agents link yard signs to virtual tours; teachers share assignment links on handouts; freelancers add portfolio QR codes to invoices. Because these codes are static and offline, they keep working for years — perfect for anything printed.
Security note
Only scan QR codes you trust — attackers stick malicious codes over legitimate ones (a practice called "quishing"). Preview the URL your camera shows before opening it, and never enter sensitive data on a page you reached via a random sticker.
Dynamic vs. static codes
The codes made here are static: the data lives inside the code itself, so they never expire and need no internet. Dynamic codes (offered by paid services) point to a redirect server you can update later — handy for campaigns, but they stop working if you stop paying. For permanent uses like business cards and signage, static is the right choice.
