QR Code Generator

Loading...

A QR code (Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can be quickly scanned with a smartphone camera. It can encode a variety of data including URLs, contact info, Wi-Fi credentials, and plain text — making it widely used in marketing, business cards, and product labels. This tool instantly converts any text or URL into a QR code, with full control over size, color, margin, and error correction level, and lets you download the result as a PNG file.

How to Use

  1. 1
    Enter Content

    Type or paste the text or URL you want to encode. The QR code is generated in real time as you type.

  2. 2
    Customize Options

    Adjust the size (128px–512px), error correction level (L/M/Q/H), margin, foreground color, and background color.

  3. 3
    Download or Copy

    Click 'Download PNG' to save the file, or 'Copy Image' to copy it to your clipboard.

Tips

  • 💡Higher error correction levels (L→H) allow the QR code to be scanned even when partially damaged, but make the pattern denser.
  • 💡For printed materials, use 512px or larger with Q or H error correction.
  • 💡Shorter URLs produce simpler QR codes with better scan rates. Consider using a URL shortener.
  • 💡Keep the foreground dark and background light for the best scan reliability.

FAQ

Q. How much data can a QR code store?
A. A QR code can store up to about 3 KB of data (up to 7,089 numeric characters or 4,296 alphanumeric characters). For long URLs, use a URL shortener to keep the QR code simple and scannable.
Q. What is the error correction level?
A. Error correction allows a QR code to be read even if part of it is damaged or covered. The levels are L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), and H (30%) — higher levels add redundancy but make the code more complex.
Q. Should I download the QR code as PNG or SVG?
A. Use SVG for print materials since it scales infinitely without pixelation. PNG is suitable for digital use and is universally supported. Both formats are available for download.
