How to Use the QR Code Generator

  1. Enter your content: Type or paste a URL, phone number, email address, or any text into the input field. Keep it under 500 characters for best scannability.
  2. Choose error correction: Higher error correction (H) makes your QR code scannable even if it's partially damaged, but creates a denser code. Medium (M) is the best default.
  3. Set size and colors: Adjust the size slider and color pickers to match your design. Ensure there is high contrast between the foreground and background colors.
  4. Generate: Click "Generate QR Code". The QR code appears instantly in your browser — no internet request is made after the page loads.
  5. Download or copy: Click "Download PNG" to save the QR code as a high-quality image file, or copy it directly to your clipboard for pasting into documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely free. There are no account requirements, no watermarks, no usage limits, and no expiration on your QR codes.
No. QR codes generated here are static — the data is embedded directly in the image. They will work forever as long as the URL they point to remains active. There is no server managing your QR codes.
Medium (M) is the default and works for most situations. Use High (H) if you plan to print the QR code on products or surfaces that might get scratched. Use Low (L) if your content is very long and you need a simpler QR code. Higher correction levels create denser codes that need more pixels to scan reliably.
You can encode any text: website URLs (https://...), email addresses (mailto:...), phone numbers (tel:+1234567890), SMS messages (smsto:...), plain text messages, Wi-Fi credentials, geographic coordinates, and more. QR scanners on phones handle all standard formats automatically.
Longer content creates denser QR codes with more modules (dots). Very dense QR codes require a steady hand and a good camera to scan reliably. For URLs over 500 characters, consider using a URL shortener (like bit.ly or TinyURL) before generating the QR code.
Yes. Use the color pickers to set any foreground and background colors. Always ensure high contrast between the two colors — most scanners require at least a 4:1 contrast ratio. Avoid light foreground on light background, or dark foreground on dark background.
QR codes are downloaded as PNG images, which is ideal because PNG is lossless — the sharp edges of the QR code remain perfectly crisp without compression artifacts. The size ranges from 128×128 to 512×512 pixels based on your slider setting.
