About this Tool
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned by any smartphone camera to instantly open a URL, display text, save a contact, or trigger a specific action.
QR codes were invented in Japan in 1994 but became globally mainstream after 2020 when contactless sharing became a priority. Today they're used in marketing campaigns, restaurant menus, packaging, event ticketing, payments, social media profiles, app downloads, and much more.
A QR code generator is the tool that converts your content into this scannable format.
QR codes have become one of the most effective ways to bridge the gap between physical and digital - whether it's a restaurant menu, a product package, a business card, or a marketing flyer.
Our free QR Code Generator lets you create a fully customized QR code in seconds. Enter any URL, email address, phone number, text, or business information, then customize the colors, size, and error correction level.
Download your finished QR code as a high-resolution PNG, scalable SVG, or JPEG - ready for print or digital use, no watermarks, no account required.

FAQs
What can I create QR codes for?
You can create QR codes for website URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, plain text, SMS messages, vCard contacts, Wi-Fi credentials, app store links, social media profiles, and payment links. Essentially, anything you want someone to access quickly by scanning their phone.
Can I use custom colors in my QR code?
Yes. You can customize both the foreground (module) color and background color of your QR code. This lets you create branded QR codes that match your company colors. Just make sure there's enough contrast between foreground and background for reliable scanning.
What format should I download my QR code in?
Use SVG for print materials (business cards, flyers, posters, signage) since SVG scales infinitely without losing quality. Use PNG for digital use , websites, email, social media. JPEG is an option for digital use but is not recommended if you need a transparent background.
What is error correction level and what should I choose?
Error correction lets QR codes remain scannable even if part of the code is damaged, dirty, or obscured. There are four levels: L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), and H (30%). Higher levels recover more damage but make the QR code visually denser. For print on materials that could get worn or dirty, use Q or H.
Do QR codes expire?
Static QR codes (like the ones created with this tool) never expire on their own , they will always encode the same information. However, if the URL you encoded goes offline or changes, the QR code will appear broken even though the code itself is technically still valid.
Can I add a logo to the center of my QR code?
Many QR code generators support logo overlays. When adding a logo, the error correction level should be set to H (High) so the code remains scannable even though part of it is covered. The logo should not exceed about 30% of the QR code's total area.
