What can you do with this QR code generator?
A QR code turns information into a pattern any smartphone camera can read. This free generator creates static QR codes: the content is stored inside the code itself, so it keeps working forever, with no subscription, no expiring links and no tracking redirects through someone else’s server.
- Website: send people straight to a web page, menu, booking page or online form.
- Text: share a short message, serial number or instructions.
- Wi-Fi: let guests join your network by scanning, without typing the password.
- Email: open a new email with the address, subject and message already filled in.
- Phone: start a call with one tap.
How to create a QR code
- Choose the type of QR code you need.
- Fill in the details. The preview updates as you type.
- Optionally change the colors, image size, error correction and quiet zone.
- Scan the preview with your phone to test it.
- Download a PNG for screens and documents, or an SVG for professional printing.
Features
- Full Unicode support, including Urdu, Arabic and emoji in text codes.
- Four error-correction levels so codes still scan when partly damaged or covered.
- Custom foreground and background colors with an automatic contrast check.
- Print-ready SVG export that stays sharp at any size, plus PNG up to 2048 px.
- Generated entirely in your browser; nothing you type is stored or sent.
Tips for QR codes that always scan
- Keep strong contrast: dark code on a light background works best.
- Print it at least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 inch), and larger for posters read from a distance.
- Keep the quiet zone (the empty margin) around the code.
- Use High error correction if you plan to place a small logo over the centre.
- Always test the printed code with two or three different phones before printing hundreds.

Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static codes with the content encoded directly, so they work for as long as the destination exists.
Can I use the QR codes commercially?
Yes. Codes you create are yours to use on packaging, menus, flyers, business cards and adverts.
Can I track how many people scan my code?
Static codes cannot be tracked by themselves. Add UTM parameters to your website URL and you will see the visits in your analytics tool.
Can I edit a QR code after printing it?
No. Because the content is inside the code, changing it means generating a new code. Point it to a page you control if the details may change.
Is “QR Code” a trademark?
Yes, QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED. The format itself is free to use.
