Free QR Code Generator — Works In Your Browser, Codes Never Expire

1. 1Choose what it points toPick Link, Text or Wi-Fi and fill in the details. Wi-Fi codes take the network name, password and security type, and connect a phone in one scan.
2. 2Set the lookAdjust the colours, size from 128 to 1024 pixels, quiet-zone border and error-correction level, and add a centre logo if you want one.
3. 3Download itSave a PNG for screens, or an SVG for print and signage. You can also copy the image straight to your clipboard.

Every code here is static: the content you type is encoded directly into the black-and-white pattern. Nothing is stored on a server and no redirect sits in the middle, so the code works for as long as its destination does, with no account to lapse and no scan limit.

Dynamic codes, which most paid services sell, point at a short link the provider controls. That lets you edit the destination later and count scans, but the code dies when the provider shuts down or your subscription lapses. Use a static code when the destination is fixed: a Wi-Fi login, a menu, a business card, a product label.

QR codes carry redundant data, so they still scan when part of the pattern is dirty, torn or covered. Level L recovers about 7% of the code, M about 15%, Q about 25% and H about 30%. M suits screens and clean paper. Pick Q or H for packaging, outdoor signage, or a code partly covered by a logo — adding one switches this tool to H automatically. Higher levels pack the pattern tighter, so the code must be read from closer.

Scanning distance is roughly ten times the code's width, so a 2 cm code reads from about 20 cm and a poster scanned from 3 m needs around 30 cm. Print at 300 DPI or higher and export SVG above business-card size. Keep the quiet zone: that blank four-module border is part of the specification, and cropping it is the most common reason a printed code fails.

The code is generated in your browser and drawn straight to the page. The text, Wi-Fi password and any logo you add stay in local memory, never uploaded or logged. That matters most for Wi-Fi codes, which carry your network password in plain text inside the pattern.

A QR code holds up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 2,953 bytes at level L, and less at higher levels. Keep URLs short: long content forces a denser pattern that is harder to scan. PNG output runs from 128 to 1024 pixels; SVG is resolution-independent. Logos cover the centre 20%, which level H absorbs.
