  3. 3

    Step 3

    Click Download PNG to save it, or Clear to start over.

  • Encodes any text or URL up to a generous length, not just web links
  • Custom foreground and background colours, so the code can match a brand or a printed design
  • Adjustable size from 64 to 1000 pixels for anything from a business card to a poster
  • Download as a PNG or as a scalable SVG that stays crisp at any print size
  • Medium error correction, so the code still scans with minor smudges or small logos overlaid
  • Works entirely in your browser — no installs and no sign-up
  • Free to use, with no limit on how many times you run it
  • Fully responsive, so it works just as well on a phone as on a desktop

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the QR Code Generator.

What does the QR Code Generator do?

It turns text or a URL you type into a QR code image, which you can download as a PNG and print or share digitally.

Is the QR Code Generator free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many codes you generate.

Is my text safe when I use this tool?

Yes. The text you type is turned into a QR code entirely in your browser — it's never sent to a server. A small QR code drawing library loads from this site the first time you type something, but that's just code, not your data.

What can I encode in a QR code?

Any text, including website links, plain messages, phone numbers or Wi-Fi details formatted as text — whatever a QR scanner on the other end expects to read.

Can I change the colours of the QR code?

Yes. Pick any foreground and background colour — just keep enough contrast between them so scanners can still read the code reliably.

Will the QR code still scan if I add a logo over it?

This generator uses medium error correction, which tolerates small amounts of damage or overlay, but adding a large logo can still break scanning — test any modified code before printing it widely.

Can I use the QR Code Generator on my phone?

Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers alike.

Does the QR Code Generator have any limitations?

It exports as a PNG at the size you choose or as a scalable SVG — there's just no built-in logo overlay tool.
