QR Code Generator
Create a QR code from a link, text or Wi-Fi details and download the image as a PNG. Fast, free and in your browser.
Link, text, phone number, Wi-Fi…
How it works
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode: that square of black-and-white patterns a phone camera can read. It stores a piece of information — usually a link, but also text, a phone number or Wi-Fi details — in a way any camera-equipped device decodes in seconds.
In this tool, you type the content, choose a size, and the QR code is generated instantly. When you point a camera at it, the device reads exactly what you typed. If it's a link, it opens the site; if it's text, it shows the text.
The image can be downloaded as a PNG to use wherever you like — on a poster, a menu, a presentation. Everything is generated in your browser, without sending the content to any server.
When to use
QR codes have become part of everyday life. Restaurants use them for digital menus, stores to send customers to Instagram or a messaging app, events to share sign-up links, and businesses to make sharing quick.
It's useful whenever you want to connect the physical and digital worlds without forcing someone to type a long address. Instead of writing out a complicated URL on a poster, you place the QR code and the person just points their camera. It works for promotion, sharing contacts, Wi-Fi networks, and any situation where pointing a camera is easier than typing.
Practical examples
Link to a menu
A restaurant enters the address of its digital menu in the generator, downloads the PNG and prints it on the tables. Customers point their camera and the menu opens on their phone — no app, no typing.
Sharing a Wi-Fi or profile
Put a link to your profile or a booking page into the generator, and the QR code can be printed on a flyer or business card. One scan takes people straight there, no long URL to type.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is generating the QR code too small for its intended use. A code that will be printed large, on a poster seen from a distance, needs good resolution — that's why the tool offers larger sizes. A pixelated or tiny QR code is hard to read.
Another thing to watch is contrast when printing or placing it. The code needs good contrast against the background and a white margin around it (the "quiet zone") to be read easily. Placing the QR over a colorful image or without a margin usually gets in the way of scanning.
There's also the case of putting in a link that later changes or expires. A QR code is fixed: once printed, it always points to the same content. If the destination might change, it's best to point to a stable address you control, not a temporary link.
Frequently asked questions
Can I generate a QR code for a link?
Yes. Just paste the URL into the content field. The generated QR code will open that link when scanned by a phone camera.
Does the generated QR code expire?
No. The code is fixed and always points to the content you typed. It doesn't expire on its own; what may stop working is the destination, if the link it points to goes offline.
Can I download the image?
Yes. Once generated, there's a button to download the QR code as a PNG, ready to use in print, presentations, social media or wherever you need.
Is the content sent to a server?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. What you type never leaves your device, which makes the tool safe even for sensitive data.
