QR Code Generator

What is QR Code Generator?

A QR code generator creates scannable QR codes from text, URLs, contact information, WiFi credentials, or other data. QR codes encode information in square patterns readable by smartphone cameras, enabling instant access to websites, app downloads, payments, contact cards, or text without manual typing. Supports customization of size, error correction level (ability to scan even if partially damaged), and output format (PNG, SVG). Essential for marketing materials, business cards, product packaging, event tickets, restaurant menus, contactless payments, and any application requiring easy information transfer from physical to digital.

Key Benefits & Use Cases

Eliminate friction in customer journey: menu QR codes let diners view menus instantly without physical menus, event QR codes enable instant ticket validation, payment QR codes facilitate contactless transactions. Track marketing effectiveness by using unique QR codes per campaign/channel to measure scan rates and conversions. Save space on printed materials: instead of printing long URLs (prone to typos), single QR code links to any web content. Update digital content without reprinting: URL-based QR codes link to web pages you can update anytime while physical QR remains unchanged. Enable offline-to-online transitions seamlessly: product packaging QR leads to how-to videos, instruction manuals, warranty registration, or review requests. Free, unlimited generation for most applications, professional tools offer analytics, custom domains, and branded codes.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter content to encode: website URL (most common), plain text, phone number, email address, SMS message, WiFi network credentials (network name, password, security type), contact information (vCard), or app store link. Select QR size (200x200px minimum for print, 500x500px recommended for clarity), error correction level (L=7% low for clean environments, M=15% medium default, Q=25% for outdoor, H=30% high for damaged codes). Generate and download QR code as PNG or SVG file. Test by scanning with smartphone camera before printing. For print: use high resolution (300 DPI minimum), ensure adequate white space border (quiet zone) around code for reliable scanning. Include call-to-action text: "Scan to Order," "Scan for Menu," "Scan to Connect." Track scans using URL shorteners with analytics (bit.ly, QR code platforms with built-in analytics).
