QR Code Generator: Create Scannable Codes in Seconds

9 min read

QR codes let people scan a link, text, or contact with their phone camera. They're used on menus, posters, business cards, and products. A QR code generator turns your URL or text into a scannable image so you don't have to type long links.

What can you put in a QR code?

  • URLs: Link to a website, form, or download.
  • Plain text: Short messages, Wi‑Fi names, or instructions.
  • Contacts: vCard data for saving a contact.

Shorter content makes simpler, easier-to-scan codes. Very long text can make the pattern dense and harder to read from a distance.

Best practices

  • Size: Make the code at least 2–3 cm so phones can scan easily.
  • Contrast: Use dark on light (or light on dark) for clear edges.
  • Test: Scan the code yourself before printing or sharing.

Our QR Code Generator creates the code in your browser. Enter a URL or text, then download or copy the image. We don't store what you enter.
