QR Code Generator

Turn any URL, text or contact info into a scannable QR code — download it in seconds.

What is it?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can store a wide variety of data — URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi credentials, vCards and more — in a compact square pattern that any smartphone camera can read in an instant. Originally invented in Japan in 1994 for tracking automotive parts, QR codes have become one of the most widely used ways to bridge the physical and digital worlds. Our free QR code generator creates high-quality QR codes entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server: the entire encoding process happens client-side using a proven open-source algorithm. You can generate a QR code for any text or URL up to several hundred characters long, adjust the error-correction level to make it more resilient to damage or partial obstruction, and download the result as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG file — ready to use in print or digital materials.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste your content into the input field — a URL, plain text, phone number, email address or any other string.
  2. The QR code preview updates in real time as you type.
  3. Adjust the size slider to set the output dimensions.
  4. Choose an error-correction level: L (low), M (medium), Q (quartile) or H (high). Higher levels allow the code to be read even if partially damaged.
  5. Click "Download PNG" for a raster image or "Download SVG" for a vector file, then use it anywhere.

Why use this tool

QR codes have gone from logistics tool to everyday essential. Restaurants use them for digital menus; businesses put them on business cards to link directly to a website or LinkedIn profile; event organisers print them on tickets and flyers; teachers share them on classroom displays for instant access to resources; marketers add them to packaging, posters and print ads to track campaign performance. Most free QR code generators online force you to create an account, collect your email, or watermark the image. Ours does none of that. Your data never leaves your device, there is no sign-up flow, and the downloaded file has no watermark or branding. You get a clean, industry-standard QR code you can use however you like — commercially, in print, on screen — at no cost.

Frequently asked questions

What types of content can I encode in a QR code?

Any text string: URLs (the most common use), plain text, email addresses (mailto: links), phone numbers (tel: links), SMS messages, Wi-Fi credentials and vCard contact information.

What is error-correction level and which should I choose?

Error-correction lets a QR code be read even if part of it is damaged, dirty or obscured. Level L recovers up to 7% damage; M up to 15%; Q up to 25%; H up to 30%. Use H for printed materials and L when space is tight.

Is there a character limit?

The practical limit for a URL in a QR code is around 2,953 characters (at level L). Very long strings produce denser codes that are harder to scan, so keep URLs short or use a URL shortener first.

Do I need to create an account to download the QR code?

No. Generation and download are completely free with no sign-up required. The QR code belongs to you with no restrictions.

Can I use the generated QR code for commercial purposes?

Yes. The code is generated entirely in your browser using an open-source library and belongs to you. There are no licensing restrictions on the output.
