How to use the QR Code Generator
- 1
Choose what the QR code should contain: a link or text, Wi-Fi, email, phone, SMS or WhatsApp.
- 2
Fill in the fields — the preview updates as you type.
- 3
Adjust the size, colours, margin and error correction if you like.
- 4
Download the code as PNG for documents and social media, or SVG for printing at any size.
Features & benefits
Seven content types
Links, plain text, Wi-Fi logins, email, phone calls, SMS and WhatsApp messages.
Static & permanent
The data is stored in the code itself, so it works forever and never redirects through a third party.
Print-ready SVG
Vector output stays perfectly sharp on posters, packaging and business cards.
Custom colours with checks
Pick your brand colours — you are warned if the contrast is too low to scan reliably.
Tips for QR codes that always scan
A QR code stores data in a grid of black and white squares. The more characters you put in, the denser the grid becomes, so short links scan faster and from further away than long ones. If you print a long URL, consider shortening it first.
Error correction adds redundancy so the code can still be read when part of it is dirty, damaged or covered. Level M (15%) suits most uses; choose Q or H for codes printed outdoors or on curved surfaces. Keep a light “quiet zone” margin around the code and always use a dark foreground on a light background — inverted codes confuse many phone cameras.
For print, the code should be at least 2 × 2 cm, and roughly one tenth of the scanning distance: a code read from 1 metre away should be about 10 cm wide. Always test a printed proof with two different phones before printing in bulk.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static codes: the information is encoded directly in the pattern, so they keep working forever and don't depend on our website.
Can I track how many people scan my code?
Not with a static code. Tracking requires a dynamic code that redirects through a server, which we deliberately avoid for privacy.
How does the Wi-Fi QR code work?
It uses the standard WIFI: format understood by the iPhone and Android cameras. Scanning it offers to join the network without typing the password.
Which format should I download?
PNG is best for screens, documents and messaging apps. SVG is a vector format ideal for professional printing because it scales without blurring.
