QR Code Generator

A QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by smartphones and dedicated scanners. Unlike standard barcodes that only store numbers, QR codes can store a wide variety of data including website URLs, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses, and even Wi-Fi network details. They allow for instant access to information without typing.

Our versatile generator supports multiple data types:

• URL: Direct users to a website, landing page, or social media profile.
• Text: Display a message, coupon code, or instructions.
• Wi-Fi: Allow guests to connect to your network without typing a password.
• vCard: Share contact details that can be instantly saved to a phone's address book.
• Email/SMS: Pre-fill an email or text message for quick communication.

To ensure your QR code is easily scannable:

1. Contrast: Always use a dark foreground (like black) on a light background (like white).
2. Size: Ensure the QR code is large enough for the scanning distance (minimum 2x2 cm for close range).
3. Quiet Zone: Leave some empty white space around the QR code borders.
4. Testing: Always test your QR code with multiple devices before printing.

Want guests to join your WiFi without typing a password? You can create a special text QR code. Use this format:

`WIFI:S:MyNetworkName;T:WPA;P:MyPassword;;`

Replace `MyNetworkName` with your WiFi name (SSID) and `MyPassword` with your password. When scanned, most phones will offer to connect automatically.

Adding a vCard QR code to your business card is a modern touch. It allows people to save your contact info instantly. To do this, you can use a vCard format string:

`BEGIN:VCARD

VERSION:3.0

N:Doe;John

TEL:555-555-5555

EMAIL:john@example.com

END:VCARD`

Paste this into the text field to generate your contact QR code.

This tool generates Static QR Codes. This means the data is directly encoded into the pattern. Once generated, the content cannot be changed without creating a new QR code. However, static QR codes are permanent and will work forever as long as the data they contain (like the URL) remains valid. They do not require a subscription or server to function.

Many online QR code generators track your data or force you to create an account. Some even create 'dynamic' codes that redirect through their servers, allowing them to track who scans your code and potentially break the link if you stop paying.

Our Guarantee:

• 100% Client-Side: The QR code is created right in your browser using JavaScript.
• No Tracking: We don't know what you're encoding.
• Direct Links: We encode your URL directly, not a redirect link.
• Forever Free: Your QR code will work as long as your URL works.

QR codes have built-in error correction capabilities (L, M, Q, H). This allows the code to be scanned even if part of it is damaged or obscured. Our generator uses High (H) level error correction by default, which means up to 30% of the code can be damaged or covered (e.g., by a logo in the center) and it will still be readable.

If your QR code isn't scanning, check these common issues:

• Too Complex: If you encode too much text (like a long URL), the dots become tiny. Try using a URL shortener first.
• Low Contrast: Ensure the code is black (or dark) on a white background. Inverted colors (white on black) are often not supported by older scanners.
• Size: Is it too small? Print it larger.
• Blurry: Always use vector formats (SVG) or high-resolution PNGs for print.
