QR code generator

QR codes encode URLs, contact details, Wi-Fi settings, and short text into a scannable two-dimensional symbol. Keep strong contrast and test printed codes before publishing.

Error correction

Higher correction levels tolerate more damage but reduce maximum data capacity. Use medium for everyday links and high when a logo or wear may obscure modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I encode in a QR code?: QR codes can encode any text: URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, plain text, Wi-Fi credentials (SSID/password format), vCards, calendar events, and more. The QR code will contain exactly the text you enter.
What is error correction level?: Error correction allows a QR code to be read even if part of it is damaged or obscured. Level L (7%) is best for pristine digital displays. Level H (30%) is best for codes that may be printed, scratched, or have a logo overlaid. Higher correction = larger/denser code.
What is the best size for printing?: For print materials, use at least 2cm × 2cm at the minimum scanning distance. For posters or billboards, larger is better. A 300–400px digital QR code is sufficient for most print needs at standard resolution.
Can I change QR code colors?: Yes. You can customize the dark (foreground) and light (background) colors. Ensure there is sufficient contrast between the two colors for reliable scanning. Dark on light backgrounds always scans best.
PNG vs SVG - which should I use?: Use PNG for web embedding and email. Use SVG for print and design applications since it scales infinitely without pixelation, making it ideal for business cards, posters, and merchandise.
