How to make a QR code
- Type or paste your link or text into the box.
- Choose a size and colors. Keep strong contrast: a dark code on a light background scans best.
- Download the PNG or SVG file.
Tips for a QR code that scans every time
- Test the code with your phone before you print it.
- Leave the white border (quiet zone) around the code.
- Print it at least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide.
- Use a short link for a simpler, easier-to-scan pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no scan limit. The codes you make are static, so they keep working as long as the link inside them works.
Which format should I download, PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for websites, social posts and documents. Use SVG when you need to print large, such as posters or banners, because SVG stays sharp at any size.
What does error correction mean?
It lets a QR code still scan if part of it is dirty or covered. Higher levels (Q and H) are more forgiving but make the code denser. Level M is a good default.
Do my links get stored anywhere?
No. The code is generated in your browser with JavaScript, so your text is not sent to a server.
