How to Create a QR Code in 3 Steps
1
Choose your QR code type
Select from URL, Text, WiFi, or vCard tabs. Each type is optimized for its specific use case — URLs open websites, WiFi codes auto-connect devices, and vCards save contact information directly to a phone's address book.
2
Enter your content
Type in your URL, message, WiFi credentials, or contact details. The QR code preview updates live as you type so you can see exactly what your audience will scan. Adjust the foreground and background colors to match your branding.
3
Download and use
Download as PNG (1024x1024, great for print and digital) or SVG (scalable vector, perfect for designers). Print it on signage, add it to flyers, embed it on your website, or share it anywhere your audience can scan it.
Everything You Need to Know About QR Codes
What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores data in a grid of black and white squares. Originally invented in 1994 for automotive manufacturing, QR codes have become ubiquitous in everyday life. Any smartphone camera can scan them to instantly access URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact information, and more.
Static vs Dynamic QR codes
Static QR codes (like the ones this tool generates) encode data directly into the pattern. They never expire and work without an internet connection. Dynamic QR codes use a short URL that redirects to your content, letting you change the destination without reprinting. Static codes are ideal for permanent information like WiFi passwords, contact cards, and fixed URLs.
QR code best practices
- Contrast matters: Use a dark foreground on a light background. Avoid low-contrast color combinations that scanners may struggle with.
- Test before printing: Always scan your QR code with multiple devices and apps before committing to a large print run.
- Add a call to action: Place text like "Scan to join" or "Scan for menu" near your QR code so people know what to expect.
- Keep URLs short: Shorter data means a simpler QR pattern, which is easier to scan from a distance or at smaller sizes.
Sizing guide
The minimum recommended size is 2 cm x 2 cm (about 0.8 inches) for close-range scanning such as business cards or table tents. For posters scanned from 1-2 meters away, use at least 10 cm x 10 cm. For billboards or outdoor signage, the general rule is: the QR code should be at least 1/10th of the expected scanning distance. A sign scanned from 3 meters away needs a QR code of at least 30 cm.
