QR Code Generator

Generate a QR code from text or a URL right on your device (no external service calls). Download as PNG.

Generate free QR codes from a link, text, phone number, or Wi-Fi details — customize the background color, code color, and add a logo in the center. Download a high-resolution PNG for printing business cards, menus, posters, or standees. The codes generated are static, work forever, and have no usage limit.

How to use QR Code Generator

  1. Enter the content to encode (URL, text, phone number, etc.).
  2. Optionally pick background and code colors to match your brand.
  3. Upload a logo to place in the center of the code (optional).
  4. Download the QR code as a PNG to print or add to your designs.

How is a static QR code different from a dynamic one?

A static QR code (the kind this tool creates) encodes your content directly, never expires, and doesn't rely on any intermediary service — but it can't be edited after printing. A dynamic QR code points through a shortened link so you can change the destination and track scans, but it depends on a third-party service and usually costs money.

Tips for a QR code that always scans reliably

Keep high contrast between the code color and the background (a dark code on a light background scans best; avoid inverting to light-on-dark). Don't let the logo cover more than 20-25% of the code's area. When printing, leave a white margin around the code and print it large enough relative to the scanning distance (business cards need at least about 2cm).

Frequently asked questions

Can adding a logo make the QR code unscannable?

No, as long as the logo is centered and not too large. The tool uses a high error-correction level (H) so the code still scans well even with part of it covered by a logo.

Do QR codes expire?

No. The QR codes generated are static and point directly to your content, so they work forever.

Does generating a QR code cost anything?

It's completely free, with no limit on quantity and no watermark added to the image.

What format should I download the QR code in for printing?

Download the PNG at a large size for crisp printing. For designs that need heavy enlargement (banners), use the highest resolution available so it doesn't turn out pixelated.
