How to use QR Code Generator

  1. Type or paste the content — a URL, plain text, or Wi-Fi details.

  2. Pick a size and error-correction level (M is a good default).

  3. The QR code preview updates live.

  4. Download as PNG for screens or SVG for print.

About this tool

The QR codes generated here are static: the data is encoded directly in the pattern, so they never expire and don't depend on this website existing — unlike "dynamic" QR services that route scans through their servers. Choose the pixel size for print use and the error-correction level (higher levels survive partial damage or a logo overlay, at the cost of a denser pattern). SVG output scales to any print size without blurring.

This makes it a good fit for anything meant to last — a QR code printed on a flyer, business card, or product label — since a static code embedded in the pattern itself will keep working indefinitely, unlike services that could shut down or expire a redirect years later.

Common ways people use this

  • Printing a QR code on a business card, flyer, or poster that links to a website or contact card
  • Sharing Wi-Fi credentials with guests without reading out a long password
  • Generating a code for a menu, event page, or portfolio link intended for print

Tips for better results

  • Choose SVG output for anything that will be printed, especially at large sizes like a poster — it stays perfectly sharp at any scale, unlike a PNG.
  • If you plan to place a logo in the center of the code, use a higher error-correction level (like H) so the code remains scannable despite the covered area.

Frequently asked questions

Do these QR codes expire?
No. The content is encoded in the code itself, not stored on a server, so the code works forever — even if this site disappears.
Which error-correction level should I use?
M (15%) suits most uses. Choose H (30%) if the code may get scuffed or you plan to place a small logo over the center; note the pattern becomes denser.
PNG or SVG?
PNG for screens, documents and quick sharing. SVG for print at any size — it's vector, so a business-card code and a poster code stay equally sharp.
Is there a limit to how much text I can encode?
QR codes can hold a few thousand characters, but very long content produces a very dense, harder-to-scan pattern. For anything long, a shortened URL that redirects to the full content scans much more reliably.
Can I create a QR code for Wi-Fi credentials?
Yes — format the content as a Wi-Fi QR string (network name and password) and the resulting code can be scanned by most phone cameras to join the network automatically.
