QR Code Generator
Generate QR codes for URLs, text, email, phone, WiFi, and more
QR code will appear here
Select your desired data type from the dropdown menu, choosing between URL, Text, Email, Phone, WiFi, or SMS options. Each type is optimized for specific use cases and automatically formats the QR code content according to industry standards to ensure maximum compatibility with QR code scanners and mobile devices.
Enter your content data in the appropriate input field based on your selected type. For URLs, input the complete web address including http:// or https://. For text, enter any message up to the QR code capacity limits. For email, provide the recipient address and optional subject and message fields.
Configure WiFi settings if selected by entering the network name (SSID), password, and security type (WPA, WEP, or no password). The tool automatically formats this information into the standard WiFi QR code format that allows users to connect instantly by scanning the code with their mobile devices.
For phone and SMS types, enter the phone number in international format when possible (including country code) and any optional message content. This creates QR codes that can trigger direct phone calls or pre-filled SMS messages when scanned, streamlining communication workflows.
Adjust the QR code size using the size selector to match your intended use case. Smaller sizes work well for business cards and printed materials, while larger sizes ensure better scanning reliability for posters, signage, and situations where scanning distance may be greater.
Set the error correction level from Low (7%) to High (30%) based on your environmental requirements. Higher error correction allows the QR code to remain scannable even if partially damaged, obscured, or printed on textured surfaces, while lower levels allow for smaller, cleaner codes.
Click the 'Generate QR Code' button to create your custom QR code. The tool processes your input data and generates a high-quality QR code image that appears instantly in the preview area, ready for immediate use or further customization.
Download your QR code by right-clicking the generated image and selecting 'Save image as' or use the copy function to paste it directly into documents, presentations, or design applications. The generated QR code maintains high resolution suitable for both digital and print applications.
Pro Tips
- Test your QR codes with multiple devices and scanning apps before final deployment to ensure compatibility across different platforms and scanning conditions, as some older devices may have limitations with certain QR code types or sizes.
- For URLs, use shortened links when possible to reduce QR code complexity and improve scanning reliability, especially for complex URLs with many parameters or very long domain names that create dense QR code patterns.
- Choose higher error correction levels for QR codes that will be displayed outdoors, printed on textured materials, or used in environments where the code might become dirty or partially obscured during normal use.
- When creating QR codes for business cards or small printed materials, test the minimum size requirements for reliable scanning by printing test samples and verifying readability with various smartphone cameras and scanning apps.
- For WiFi QR codes, ensure your network name and password are exactly correct as even small typos will prevent successful connection, and consider using guest networks for public QR codes to maintain security.
- Include a small text description near your QR code explaining what it contains (e.g., 'Scan for website', 'WiFi login', 'Contact info') to encourage scanning and provide context for users who encounter the code.
- Keep QR code content concise when possible, as simpler codes are faster to scan, more reliable across devices, and create cleaner visual patterns that integrate better with design layouts and printed materials.
