About the QR code generator
A QR code encodes a URL, text, or other information as a square pattern that a phone camera can scan. Originally designed for industrial tracking, QR codes now appear on posters, business cards, packaging, menus, event check-ins, and mobile payments. This tool creates one from any text or link without an account or upload.
QR codes include error correction, allowing them to scan even when part of the pattern is damaged, covered, or replaced by a logo. Levels L, M, Q, and H trade capacity for resilience. Medium (M) is a good everyday balance; choose Q or H for print, outdoor use, or a logo.
Common uses
- Web links: put a scannable URL on posters, cards, and packaging.
- Wi-Fi sharing: let guests scan the network name and password.
- Contact details: share a vCard or text that is easy to save.
- Events and displays: link to check-ins, surveys, menus, and exhibit notes.
Tips for reliable scanning
- Use strong contrast: dark modules on a light background.
- Leave a clear quiet zone around every edge.
- Use SVG for sharp printing and choose a size appropriate to the scanning distance.
- Keep content short; simpler codes are easier to scan.
The entire code is generated in your browser. Your content is never uploaded, keeping the process private and fast.
Frequently asked questions
QDoes creating a QR code require an upload?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser, and its content is never sent to a server.
QWhich download formats are available?
Download scalable SVG for print or a convenient PNG bitmap for sharing.
QWhich error-correction level should I choose?
Higher levels remain readable with more damage or obstruction but hold less content. Medium (M) suits most uses; choose Q or H for printing or a centered logo.
QHow much content can a QR code hold?
Capacity is limited. Longer content and stronger error correction reduce available space. If the content is too long, shorten it or lower the correction level.
QDo I need to sign up or pay?
No. The tool is free, requires no account, and adds no watermark.
