QR Code Preview
A QR (Quick Response) code generator creates two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned by smartphones and QR code readers. QR codes can store various types of data including URLs, text, contact information, Wi-Fi credentials, and more. Our free QR code generator creates high-quality QR codes instantly in your browser, with options to customize size, error correction level, and download in multiple formats.
  1. 1
    Enter Your Data

    Type or paste the content you want to encode into the QR code. This can be a URL, text, email, phone number, or other data.

  2. 2
    Choose QR Code Type

    Select the appropriate type: URL, Text, Email, Phone, SMS, or Wi-Fi. The generator will format the data correctly for each type.

  3. 3
    Customize Appearance

    Adjust the QR code size, error correction level (L, M, Q, H), and choose between light or dark theme. Higher error correction allows the code to work even if partially damaged.

  4. 4
    Generate QR Code

    Click the generate button to create your QR code instantly. The code will appear in the preview area.

  5. 5
    Test the Code

    Use your smartphone camera or a QR code scanner app to test that the code works correctly before downloading.

  6. 6
    Download

    Download your QR code in PNG, SVG, or PDF format. PNG is best for digital use, SVG for scalable graphics, and PDF for printing.

  7. 7
    Use Your QR Code

    Print the QR code or use it digitally. Place it on business cards, flyers, websites, or anywhere you want to share information quickly.

  8. 8
    Share Securely

    Remember that anyone can scan your QR code. Only encode information you are comfortable sharing publicly.

What can I encode in a QR code?

You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, Wi-Fi network credentials, contact information (vCard), and more.

How do I scan a QR code?

Most modern smartphones have built-in QR code scanners in their camera apps. Simply open your camera app and point it at the QR code.

What is error correction level?

Error correction allows QR codes to work even if partially damaged or obscured. Levels range from L (lowest, ~7% recovery) to H (highest, ~30% recovery). Higher levels create denser codes but are more reliable.

Are QR codes free to use?

Yes, QR codes are free to generate and use. There are no licensing fees or restrictions for creating or using QR codes.

Can I customize the colors?

Yes, you can customize QR code colors, background, and add logos or images while maintaining scanability. Be careful not to obscure too much of the code.

How much data can a QR code store?

QR codes can store up to 2,953 bytes (about 2.9 KB) of data. The actual capacity depends on the error correction level and data type.

Do QR codes expire?

No, QR codes themselves don't expire. However, if the QR code links to a URL, that URL may become unavailable over time.

Can I track QR code scans?

Our generator creates static QR codes. To track scans, you would need to use a URL shortener service that provides analytics, or host the destination URL on a platform with tracking capabilities.

Are QR codes secure?

QR codes are readable by anyone with a scanner. Never encode sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers. Always verify the destination before scanning unknown codes.

What file formats are supported?

You can download QR codes as PNG (raster image), SVG (vector image), or PDF (for printing). PNG is best for web use, SVG for scalable graphics, and PDF for professional printing.
