About QR Codes

QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can store URLs, text, contact information, Wi-Fi credentials, and more. They can be scanned by any smartphone camera, making them a universal bridge between physical and digital content.

QR codes support error correction, meaning they remain scannable even when partially damaged or obscured. This makes them reliable for printed materials, product packaging, and outdoor signage.

This generator creates QR codes entirely in your browser. The encoded data never touches a server, making it safe for sensitive information like private URLs, passwords, or personal data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I encode in a QR code?

QR codes can store URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi credentials, vCard contacts, and more. The maximum capacity is about 4,296 alphanumeric characters.

What size should my QR code be?

For print, use at least 300px for small items (business cards) and 500px+ for posters. For digital use, 200-400px is typically sufficient.

Can I customize the QR code colors?

Yes. You can change the foreground (module) and background colors. Ensure sufficient contrast for reliable scanning — dark foreground on light background works best.

Will my QR code expire?

No. QR codes generated here are static — the data is encoded directly in the pattern. They never expire unless the linked URL becomes unavailable.

Why can't my phone scan the QR code?

Ensure sufficient contrast between foreground and background colors. Very light colors or low contrast may prevent scanning. Also check that the QR code is displayed at a large enough size.
