Free QR Code Generator

A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that can store text, URLs, contact information, and more. It can be scanned by any smartphone camera to instantly access the encoded content.

Yes, this tool is completely free to use with no limitations. Generate as many QR codes as you need with full customization options, no account required.

You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, WiFi network credentials, and vCard contact information. Each type is formatted so that phones and scanners handle them correctly.

For digital use (websites, social media), 400-600px is usually sufficient. For print, use at least 800px and download the SVG format for perfect scaling at any size. The minimum recommended print size is about 2cm x 2cm.

Error correction allows a QR code to remain scannable even if part of it is damaged or obscured. Level L recovers 7% of data, M recovers 15%, Q recovers 25%, and H recovers 30%. Use M for most cases, or H if the code might be partially covered (like on a product label).

Yes, you can set custom foreground and background colors using the color pickers. Keep good contrast between the foreground and background for reliable scanning. Avoid light foreground colors on light backgrounds.

No, QR codes generated here never expire. They encode data directly into the image, so they work forever without any server or subscription. As long as the encoded content (like a URL) remains active, the QR code will work.

All QR code generation happens directly in your browser. Your data never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server. The tool works entirely offline once loaded.

Select the URL type, paste your full website address (including https://), customize the size and colors if desired, then download the QR code as PNG or SVG. Place it on business cards, flyers, or product packaging so people can scan and visit your site instantly.

Select the WiFi type, enter your network name (SSID), choose the security type (WPA/WPA2 for most modern routers), and type your WiFi password. The generated QR code lets guests scan and connect to your network without manually typing the password.

Use SVG if you need to print or resize the QR code — it scales to any size without losing quality. Use PNG for digital sharing (email, social media, websites) where a fixed resolution is fine. For best print results at large sizes like posters or banners, always choose SVG.

On most modern phones, simply open your camera app and point it at the QR code — a link or notification will appear automatically. On iPhones (iOS 11+) and most Android phones (Android 9+), no extra app is needed. For older devices, download a free QR code scanner app from your app store.

Traditional barcodes store data in one dimension (horizontal lines) and hold about 20 characters — typically a product number. QR codes store data in two dimensions (a grid of squares) and can hold up to 4,296 characters, allowing them to encode URLs, text, contact cards, and more. QR codes can also be scanned from any angle.
