QR Code Generator — Create Free QR Codes Online
Turn a link, a message, an email address or your Wi-Fi details into a scannable QR code. Choose your colours and size, then download it as a crisp PNG or a scalable SVG for print. The codes are created in your browser and never expire.
How to use the QR Code Generator
- Choose what the QR code should contain: a website, plain text, an email or Wi-Fi.
- Fill in the details. The QR code updates live as you type.
- Pick colours, size and error correction. Keep strong contrast so the code scans easily.
- Download the QR code as PNG for screens or SVG for printing at any size.
What can a QR code hold?
A QR code is simply a picture of text. A website code holds a web address, an email code opens a ready-to-send message, and a Wi-Fi code lets guests join your network by scanning — no typing a long password. The more text you add, the denser (and harder to scan) the pattern becomes.
Making codes that scan every time
Use a dark code on a light background — scanners read dark-on-light best. Leave a quiet border around the code, print it at least 2 cm wide, and test it with a phone before you print hundreds. Higher error correction lets a code survive scratches or a logo placed on top, but it also makes the pattern more detailed.
Ideas & examples
- Restaurant menu: Create a website QR code that links to your online menu and print it on the tables.
- Guest Wi-Fi: Enter your network name and password once; visitors scan the code and connect instantly.
- Business cards: Download the SVG version so the QR code stays razor-sharp when printed on cards or posters.
Frequently asked questions
Are these QR codes free forever?
Yes. The codes are static: the information is stored inside the picture itself, so they never expire and there is no subscription.
Do you track scans?
No. Static QR codes contain your data directly and do not pass through our servers, so there is no tracking and nothing to switch off.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for websites, documents and social media. Use SVG for print, because it scales to any size without blurring.
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your password never leaves your device.
Why won't my QR code scan?
Check the contrast between the code and background colour, make sure the code is not too small, and try a higher error-correction level or a shorter text.
