Turn a link or short text into a QR code

Enter a website address or up to 250 characters of text and the preview updates immediately. Choose foreground and background colours, one of four image sizes, and an error-correction level from low to high.

When the code is ready, copy it as an image where browser support allows, or download a PNG for everyday use and an SVG for scalable print or design work. Everything is created in the browser.

Choose settings that scan reliably

Dark modules on a light background usually provide the strongest contrast. Very similar colours, heavy resizing or insufficient clear space around the code can make scanning less reliable. Higher error correction can tolerate more damage but produces a denser pattern.

  • Test the finished code with more than one phone before publishing or printing it.
  • Use SVG when the artwork will be enlarged significantly.
  • Check the exact encoded address, including https://, before downloading.

Static codes cannot change their destination

The QR image directly stores the text you enter. If it contains a fixed website address, changing that destination later requires a new code unless the address itself redirects somewhere else. Anyone who scans a code can see or open its content, so do not encode passwords or private information.

Common uses

Share a menu, event page, feedback form or contact page.

Add plain reference text that should be easy to transfer to a phone.

FAQs

Questions about the qr code generator

Should I download PNG or SVG?

PNG is convenient for documents and websites at a known size. SVG stays sharp when resized and is usually better for professional print layouts.

What does error correction do?

It adds redundancy so a code may remain readable when part is damaged or obscured. Higher levels create a denser code.

Can I change the link after downloading?

Not in the static QR code itself. Generate a replacement code or encode a redirect URL that you control.

Why should the colours contrast?

QR scanners need to distinguish the pattern clearly from the background. Strong dark-on-light contrast is the safest choice.
