A link, Wi-Fi details, a contact card, an email, a phone number, an SMS or text.
Free tool
QR code generator, codes that never expire.
Make a QR code for a link, a Wi-Fi network, a contact card, an email, a phone number or plain text. Give it your colours, dot style and logo, then download it as PNG or SVG. The code holds what you type, so it keeps working for ever. No account, no tracking, no watermark.
Scanning opens this page. Works for any site, a menu, a form, a video or an app store link.
An iPhone or Android camera offers to join the network when it sees this code, so guests never type the password.
Use the full number with the country code, so it works from any country.
Scanning offers to save you as a contact. Fill in only what you want to share.
Your code appears here as you type.

Automatic uses Medium, or High once a logo covers the middle. Higher error correction makes a code still readable when part of it is covered or worn, and adds more squares.
The code is made in your browser. What you type is never uploaded.

Questions
Good to know.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. These are static codes: the link or text is stored in the picture itself, so a phone reads it straight from the code. Some QR sites instead make "dynamic" codes that point to a short link on their own servers, and that link can stop working when a trial or plan ends. A code from this page does not depend on any server, including ours.
Can I change the link after printing?
No. Because the link is in the picture, a new link means a new code. If you may need to change it later, point the code at a page you control, such as your own site, and change that page instead.
Can I see how many people scanned it?
The code itself counts nothing, so nobody tracks your visitors. To count visits in your own analytics, add a tag to the link before you make the code, for example ?utm_source=qr at the end of the address.
Will a logo stop the code from scanning?
Usually not. With a logo the code switches to High error correction, which keeps it readable when up to about 30 percent of it is covered or damaged. Keep the logo small, keep strong contrast, and check the result: where the browser can read QR codes (Chrome on a Mac or on Android, for example), this page reads every new code back and tells you whether it scans. Test with your own phone before you print many copies.
PNG or SVG?
SVG is drawn from shapes, so it stays sharp at any size and suits print, signs and design apps. PNG is a picture that works everywhere; pick 1024 px for screens and 2048 px or more for print.
Can I use the codes for my business?
Yes. The codes you make here are yours to use anywhere, including packaging, menus, flyers and ads, with no watermark and no limit. QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.
