What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that any smartphone camera can read. It can store a website address, contact details, Wi-Fi login, a payment or chat link, or plain text. Businesses use QR codes on menus, flyers, product packaging, visiting cards, invoices and storefronts to send customers straight to the right place without typing.
Static vs dynamic QR codes
This tool creates static QR codes: the information is encoded directly into the pattern. That means they are free, work forever and don’t depend on any third-party service. Dynamic QR codes, sold by subscription services, point to a short redirect link that can be edited later — but they stop working if the subscription ends. For most uses, a static code linking to a page you control is the most reliable choice.
Best practices for QR codes that always scan
- Keep strong contrast — a dark code on a light background works best. Avoid light-on-dark inverted codes for maximum compatibility.
- Leave a quiet zone (the empty border). “Standard” is recommended.
- Size for print: at least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) for close scanning; scale up roughly 1 cm per 10 cm of scanning distance.
- Use higher error correction (Q or H) if the code will be printed on rough surfaces or might get scratched.
- Shorter content = simpler code. Long URLs create dense codes; use a short page URL where possible.
- Always test with two or three different phones before printing in bulk.

Frequently asked questions
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. You can create and download unlimited QR codes for personal or commercial use at no cost and without an account.
Do the QR codes expire?
No. These are static QR codes — the data is stored in the code itself, so they keep working forever.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
Use PNG or JPG for websites, social media and documents. Use SVG for printing, because it is a vector format that stays perfectly sharp at any size.
How do I make a Wi-Fi QR code?
Choose the Wi-Fi tab, enter your network name (SSID), password and security type. When someone scans it with their phone camera, they can join your network instantly.
Can I change the colour of my QR code?
Yes. Pick any foreground and background colour. Keep the foreground darker than the background with strong contrast so all phones can scan it.
Can I track scans?
Static QR codes cannot track scans by themselves. Add UTM parameters to your URL (for example ?utm_source=qr) and view scans in Google Analytics.
