QR code generator

Make a QR code for a link, Wi-Fi network, email or phone number. Pick your colours, add your logo, and download a PNG or SVG. Free, with no sign-up.

What should the code open?

Your QR code appears here as you type.

PNG size

PNG for sharing and printing. SVG stays sharp at any size, which is best for signs and print shops.

Style

#1c1917
#ffffff
Logo in the middle (optional)

Higher survives scratches and stains, but makes a denser code.

How to make a QR code

  1. Choose what the code should open: a link, plain text, a Wi-Fi network, an email or a phone number.
  2. Fill in the details. The preview updates as you type.
  3. Optionally change the colours or add your logo under Style.
  4. Download it as a PNG for screens and documents, or an SVG for print. Scan it with your phone once before you print a big batch.

A Wi-Fi QR code for your shop or café

Choose Wi-Fi, type the network name and password exactly as they appear on your router, and print the code by the till or on table cards. Customers point their camera at it and join, without asking staff for the password or mistyping it. There's a step-by-step Wi-Fi QR code guide if you want the details.

Collecting Google reviews?

The Google review QR code generator makes a code that opens your review form, plus printable cards for your counter or tables.

Getting a code that scans every time

Scanners need contrast and a quiet border. Keep the code dark on a light background. Don't crop the white margin, and print it at least 2 cm across, larger if people will scan it from a distance. For short links, Medium error correction is plenty. Use High if the code will be printed on something that gets scuffed.

Questions

Do these QR codes expire?
No. The link or text is stored inside the code itself, not on our servers, so it keeps working for as long as the thing it points to exists. Some sites sell "dynamic" codes that stop working when you cancel a subscription. These don't.
Is it really free for business use?
Yes. Print the codes on menus, flyers, packaging or shop windows. There's no watermark and no limit on how many you make.
Can I add my logo?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG under Style. The generator switches to the highest error correction automatically, so the code still scans with part of it covered.
PNG or SVG, which should I download?
PNG works everywhere: messages, social posts, documents. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size, which is what printers and sign makers usually ask for.
Why won't my QR code scan?
The usual causes are low contrast (a light code on a light background), printing it too small, or cutting off the blank border around it. Keep the code dark on a light background, print it at least 2 cm wide, and leave the border in place.
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The code is generated by your browser on your device. Nothing you type is uploaded.
