QR Code Generator
Generate QR codes instantly for any text, URL, email, phone number, or WiFi credentials. Download in PNG or SVG format. Customize size and error correction level. All processing in your browser.
Works for URLs, plain text, WiFi credentials, phone numbers, email links, and vCard contact info.
Print and signage
Use larger sizes for posters, menus, flyers, packaging, or in-store materials where scan distance matters.
Digital sharing
PNG is convenient for websites and slides. SVG is better when you need sharp scaling for print or design tools.
Testing
Always test the final QR code with a phone camera before distributing it, especially for printed assets.
Where QR Codes Work Best
QR codes are useful when you want to move someone from a physical surface or a quick mobile interaction straight into a digital action. They work especially well for menus, business cards, flyers, packaging, event materials, WiFi sharing, and mobile-friendly links that should be easy to scan instead of typed manually.
Business and Marketing
Send customers from packaging, posters, cards, or printed promos directly to a landing page or offer.
Events and Hospitality
Use QR codes for menus, schedules, check-in flows, feedback forms, and venue WiFi credentials.
Contact and Access
Share contact cards, phone numbers, email links, and WiFi access without forcing people to type anything.

QR Code Best Practices
Keep the Destination Clean
Use short, reliable destinations when possible. Long or messy URLs can be harder to manage and less user-friendly if you ever need to update the destination later.
Match File Type to Use Case
PNG is convenient for quick digital use. SVG is usually the better choice for print, branding, and scaling inside design tools.
Test in Real Conditions
A code that scans well on screen can still fail when printed too small, placed on glare-heavy material, or used from a longer distance.
Use a Clear Call to Action
People scan more often when the reason is obvious: “View menu”, “Join WiFi”, “Download brochure”, or “Save contact”.

What Is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode invented in 1994 by Denso Wave for tracking automotive parts. Unlike traditional barcodes that store data in one direction, QR codes encode information both horizontally and vertically, allowing them to hold thousands of characters in a small square graphic.
Today QR codes are everywhere, from restaurant menus and payment terminals to event tickets and product packaging. Any smartphone camera can scan them instantly, making QR codes one of the most frictionless ways to bridge print and digital experiences. They support URLs, plain text, WiFi credentials, contact cards, and more.
Popular Use Cases
Marketing and Print Materials
Link flyers, posters, and business cards to landing pages, portfolios, or promotional offers with a single scan.
Restaurant and Retail Menus
Replace physical menus with scannable codes that link to always-updated digital menus, reducing print costs.
WiFi Network Sharing
Encode your network name and password into a QR code so guests connect instantly without typing credentials.
Event Ticketing
Generate unique QR codes per attendee for fast check-in at conferences, concerts, and sporting events.
Product Packaging
Link to user manuals, warranty registration, or nutritional information directly from the product label.
QR Code Best Practices
Choose the Right Error Correction
Use Level M (15%) for digital screens and Level H (30%) for printed codes that may get scratched or partially covered.
Test Before Printing
Always scan your QR code on multiple devices and apps before sending it to print to catch encoding errors.
Keep URLs Short
Shorter data produces simpler QR patterns that are easier to scan. Use URL shorteners for long destination links.
Maintain Sufficient Contrast
Dark modules on a light background scan most reliably. Avoid low-contrast color combinations that confuse readers.
