QR Code Generator
Create a QR code from any text or URL and download it as a PNG image.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes. It is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on the number of QR codes you can create.
Do the QR codes ever expire?
No. The generated image is static — it encodes your text or URL directly. As long as the destination (such as a website) stays online, the code keeps working forever.
What error-correction level should I choose?
Use Low or Medium for clean digital use. Choose Quartile or High if the code might be printed at small sizes, placed on a curved surface, or partially covered by a logo — higher levels add redundancy so it still scans.
Can I change the QR code colors?
Yes. You can set the foreground and background colors. For the most reliable scanning, keep strong contrast — a dark code on a light background works best.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your text or URL is never uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.
What size should I download for printing?
Choose 512 px for most documents and 1024 px for large-format printing like posters or banners, where extra resolution keeps the code sharp.
QR Code Generator — Create Scannable QR Codes Instantly
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores text, web addresses, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials, and more in a square grid of black and white modules. Almost every modern smartphone camera can scan one instantly, which is why QR codes appear on product packaging, restaurant menus, business cards, posters, event tickets, and payment screens everywhere.
Our QR Code Generator turns any text or URL into a clean, scannable code in real time. As you type, the preview updates immediately — there is no "generate" step to wait for. When you are happy with the result, download it as a high-resolution PNG ready for print or digital use.
You can tune three things to suit your use case. Size controls the resolution of the downloaded image (256, 512, or 1024 pixels) — larger sizes stay crisp when printed on flyers or posters. Error correction determines how much of the code can be damaged or obscured while remaining scannable: higher levels add redundancy so the code still works even with a logo overlaid or minor print smudging. Foreground and background colors let you match your brand, though high contrast (dark code on a light background) always scans most reliably.
Everything runs entirely in your browser using the open-source QR encoding standard. Your data — whether it is a private link, a Wi-Fi password, or a tracking URL — is never sent to any server, never logged, and never stored. There are no watermarks, no account requirements, and no limits on how many codes you create.
Common uses include: linking print materials to a website or landing page, sharing a Wi-Fi network without dictating the password, putting a menu or booking link on a table tent, adding a "scan to follow" code to social media, encoding a contact card, and routing customers to app store downloads.
