How to Create a QR Code

1

Enter Your Content

Start by typing or pasting the content you want to encode into the QR code. It can be URLs/websites, plain text, contact information (vCard), WiFi network credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, and SMS messages.

Shorter content usually results in simpler QR codes that are faster and easier to scan.

2

Customize Appearance and Settings

Adjust the QR code size based on where it will be used. You can also customize the foreground and background colors to match your brand, while keeping enough contrast for reliable scanning.

If needed, adjust the error correction level to make the QR code more resilient to damage or printing imperfections.

3

Preview and Test Your QR Code

Your QR code is generated instantly and updates in real time as you make changes.

Before downloading, test it using your phone's camera to make sure it scans correctly and leads to the intended destination.

4

Download Your QR Code

Once everything looks correct, download your QR code in PNG format for web and digital use, or SVG format for print and large-scale displays.

SVG files can be resized to any dimension without losing quality, making them ideal for long-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a QR code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can store information such as URLs/websites, plain text, contact information (vCard), WiFi network credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, and SMS messages. When scanned with a smartphone camera, the information is accessed instantly without typing.
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes. This QR code generator is completely free to use. You can create and download unlimited QR codes without signing up, providing payment details, or agreeing to usage limits.
What types of QR codes can I create?
You can generate QR codes for a wide range of uses, including website URLs, plain text, contact information (vCard), WiFi network credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, and SMS messages. You can use the QR code generator for personal and business use.
What file formats are available for download?
QR codes can be downloaded in PNG format or SVG format. PNG files are best for websites, emails, and digital use. SVG files are vector-based, meaning they can be resized to any dimension without losing quality, which makes them perfect for print and long-term branding.
Do QR codes ever expire?
No. QR codes generated with this tool do not expire. The information is encoded directly into the QR code itself, so it will continue to work as long as the destination content, such as a website or phone number, remains available.
Can I use QR codes for business or commercial purposes?
Yes. QR codes created with this tool can be used for any commercial purpose, including marketing materials, business cards, invoices, product packaging, restaurant menus, posters, event signage, and promotional campaigns.
Can I customize the appearance of my QR code?
Yes. You can customize the size, foreground color, and background color of your QR code. For best scanning results, it is recommended to use dark foreground colors on light backgrounds with sufficient contrast.
What size QR code should I use?
For printed materials, a minimum size of approximately 2 × 2 cm is recommended for reliable scanning. For digital use, a size of at least 200 × 200 pixels is suggested. Larger QR codes are easier to scan, especially from a distance.
What is error correction, and should I change it?
Error correction allows a QR code to remain scannable even if part of it is damaged, dirty, or obscured. Higher error correction levels improve durability but slightly increase visual complexity. For most use cases, the default setting provides a good balance.
Should I test my QR code before using it?
Yes. It is strongly recommended to test your QR code with a smartphone camera before printing or publishing it.
Can I create multiple QR codes?
Yes. You can create and download as many QR codes as needed, which is useful if you want to have different QR codes for multiple links, campaigns, or materials.
Will the QR code work on all smartphones?
Yes. Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly using the built-in camera app, without requiring additional software.
