A QR code (Quick Response code) is a 2D matrix barcode that can be scanned by smartphones to instantly open a URL, connect to WiFi, save a contact, send an email, and more. QR codes can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters.

How do I create a QR code for free?

What types of QR codes can I generate?

You can generate QR codes for: Website URL, Plain text, WiFi credentials (SSID + password + encryption), Email (recipient, subject, body), Phone number, SMS message, WhatsApp message, and vCard contact information.

What is the difference between PNG and SVG QR codes?

PNG is a raster image — great for most uses but may appear blurry if enlarged beyond its resolution. SVG is a vector format that scales perfectly to any size without losing quality, ideal for print materials like business cards and posters.

How far away can a QR code be scanned?

A QR code can typically be scanned from a distance roughly 10 times its printed size. A 3cm QR code can be scanned from about 30cm. Use a larger size and high contrast colors (dark on light) for better scan distance.

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Yes — our QR code generator supports adding a custom logo or image in the center of the QR code. QR codes have built-in error correction so a center logo does not affect scannability.

Are QR codes permanent?

QR codes generated by our tool are static — they encode the data directly and do not expire. The QR code remains valid as long as the destination URL is active.

Is the QR code generator free?

Yes — completely free with no signup required. Generate unlimited QR codes and download them as PNG or SVG at no cost.
