How do I create a QR code?

Simply enter your text, URL, or data in the input field and click "Generate QR Code". The QR code is instantly created and ready to download.

Is the QR code generator free?

Yes, this QR code generator is completely free with no limits. Generate as many QR codes as you need without registration or payment.

Are my QR codes stored on your servers?

No, all QR code generation happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can I customize the QR code appearance?

Yes, you can customize colors, size, error correction level, and add logos. The tool provides multiple design options while maintaining scannability.

What error correction level should I use?

Use Low (7%) for clean printing, Medium (15%) for standard use, Quartile (25%) for damaged surfaces, and High (30%) when adding logos or expecting wear.

How large should my QR code be for printing?

For print, QR codes should be at least 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches). Larger is better for scanning from a distance. Download at high resolution (512px or 1024px) for print quality.

Can I create PayNow QR codes?

While this generates standard QR codes, PayNow QR codes have specific formats. For PayNow, use your bank's official app or generator to ensure proper formatting and compliance.

QR codes themselves never expire - they're static images. However, if your QR code links to a URL, that webpage can change or be removed, effectively "breaking" the QR code.

Can I track QR code scans?

Static QR codes can't be tracked. For analytics, use dynamic QR code services. This tool creates static QR codes for privacy and simplicity.

About QR Codes

QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can store various types of data and be scanned using smartphones or QR code readers.

What can QR codes store?

URLs: Direct users to websites, product pages, or online menus.
Text: Share messages, instructions, or information.
Wi-Fi: Allow easy connection to wireless networks without typing passwords.
Contacts: Share business cards or contact information using vCard format.

Error Correction:

QR codes have built-in error correction that allows them to remain scannable even if partially damaged or obscured. Higher error correction levels (H) enable QR codes to work with up to 30% damage, making them ideal for codes with logos or those exposed to wear and tear.

Best Practices

Size Matters: Ensure your QR code is large enough to scan. Minimum recommended size is 2cm x 2cm (0.8" x 0.8").
High Contrast: Use dark foreground on light background for best scanability. Black on white is most reliable.
Test Before Printing: Always test your QR code with multiple devices and apps before mass printing.
Quiet Zone: Keep adequate white space around the QR code (at least 4 modules wide).
Logo Size: If using a logo, keep it under 20-25% of the total QR code area and use high error correction.
Avoid Stretching: Never stretch or distort QR codes - they must remain square.
Placement: Place QR codes where they're easy to scan - avoid curved surfaces or hard-to-reach locations.
Print Quality: Use high-resolution images for printing. Vector format (SVG) is ideal for scalability.

Common Use Cases

Restaurant Menus: Generate a QR code linking to your digital menu for contactless dining.
Business Cards: Add a vCard QR code to your business card for instant contact sharing.
Wi-Fi Sharing: Create a QR code for your Wi-Fi network so guests can connect easily.
Event Registration: Link to event registration or ticketing pages.
Product Information: Share detailed product specs, manuals, or warranty information.
Social Media: Direct followers to your social media profiles or specific posts.
Payment Links: Link to PayNow, PayLah!, or other payment platforms for quick payments.
Marketing Campaigns: Track engagement by creating unique QR codes for different marketing materials.
