What this QR code generator creates
A QR code is a square barcode that a phone camera can read. This tool creates static QR codes for a website, plain text, an email draft, a phone call, a text message, or a Wi-Fi login. Static codes contain the information directly, so they keep working without a redirect service and can be scanned as many times as you like. Generation happens in your browser.
How to create a QR code
- Choose a type. Select URL, text, email, phone, SMS, or Wi-Fi. The form changes to the fields that type needs.
- Enter the content. For a website, include the full address. For Wi-Fi, enter the network name and password exactly as written.
- Pick a size and error correction. 512 px is enough for most screens and printouts. Medium error correction is a good default.
- Generate and download. Save the PNG for screens and documents, or the SVG for signs and printing at any size.
Tips for reliable scanning
- Test the code with more than one phone before printing it on a sign or menu.
- Keep good contrast: dark modules on a light background. Do not place the code on a busy photo.
- Leave the white margin around the code. It helps the camera find the edges.
- Wi-Fi QR codes use the WPA token for modern WPA2 and WPA3 networks. Change it to WEP only for older equipment.
- For a long URL, use a shorter link if the code looks too dense to scan comfortably.
When to use it
Use QR codes on business cards, posters, packaging, event signs, and guest Wi-Fi cards. For a code that can be edited after printing, you need a dynamic QR service; this tool creates static codes only.
