QR Code Generator
Select a content type, fill in the details, and customize your design. Your QR code will update in real-time.
1. Select Content Type
Choose the type of information you want your QR code to store. Each type is optimized to open the correct application on a smartphone (e.g., a Wi-Fi QR code will open network settings, while a vCard will open the contacts app).
2. Enter Your Data
Basic Details
Business Details
Amount Details
Additional Details
Notes
Create a QR code with your own custom data fields. A scanner will show the label and its corresponding value. This is perfect for product IDs, event details, or any structured information.
Create a QR Code for an Image URL
QR codes store text data, not image files. To share an image,host it at a public URL and encode that URL in the QR code.
3. Customize Your Design
Customize the QR code to match your brand or project while keeping enough contrast and clear scanning areas for reliable decoding.
Colors
Styling
Logo
For best results, upload a square image. To create a circular logo, use a PNG with a transparent background. Logo rotation and non-centered placement are not supported to ensure scannability.

Not sure which type to choose? Select the format that matches the information you want someone to receive after scanning. For a simple website, use URL; for contact information, use vCard; for billing information, use Invoice; and for your own structured fields, use Custom Data.
QR Code vs. Barcode: What's the Difference?
QR Code
- Two-dimensional (2D) squares that store data in both horizontal and vertical directions.
- Holds large amounts of data (up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters).
- Can store various data types: URLs, text, contact info, etc.
- Readable from any direction by smartphone cameras.
- Features error correction, so it can be scanned even if partially damaged.
Traditional Barcode
- One-dimensional (1D) parallel lines that store data horizontally only.
- Holds very little data (typically 20-25 numeric characters).
- Primarily used for storing numeric or short alphanumeric codes for inventory.
- Requires a dedicated laser scanner to read.
- Has no error correction and can fail if any part is damaged.
Create More Than a Basic URL QR Code

Frequently Asked Questions
Get practical answers about creating, customizing, downloading, printing, and using QR codes with this generator.
Yes. You can generate and download QR codes without paying a fee, and the generated codes can be used for personal or commercial projects such as business cards, invoices, packaging, menus, posters, and other materials.
The generator creates static QR codes, so the QR code itself does not have an expiration date. The encoded information is stored directly in the code. However, if your QR code points to a website or another online resource, that destination must remain available for the link to continue working.
Not in an already generated static QR code. Its information is encoded into the QR pattern itself. If a URL, phone number, invoice detail, Wi-Fi credential, or other encoded value changes, update the information in the generator and create a new QR code.
A static QR code contains the encoded information directly and cannot be changed after the code is created. A dynamic QR code normally points through a managed redirect, which can allow its destination to be changed later. This generator creates static QR codes.
You can create QR codes for URLs, plain text, email, phone numbers, SMS, Wi-Fi networks, vCards, locations, WhatsApp, invoice information, and custom data. Each type displays input fields suited to the information being encoded.
The Invoice QR option lets you encode structured invoice information such as the invoice number, date, billing details, line items, taxable amount, tax, total amount, currency, notes, and additional custom fields. Review the invoice information carefully before generating the final code.
Yes. You can adjust foreground and background colors, choose different QR styles, select an error correction level, and add an optional logo. After customizing the design, scan-test the finished QR code to make sure it remains easy to read.
Scanning problems can happen when foreground and background colors have poor contrast, a logo covers too much of the QR pattern, the printed code is too small, image quality is poor, or the encoded information is incorrect. Try a simpler design and test the QR code on more than one device before publishing it.
PNG works well for websites, presentations, and most digital uses. JPG is convenient when you need a standard image file. SVG is usually the better option for layouts that require resizing because vector graphics can scale without becoming pixelated.
There is no single print size that works for every situation. The right size depends on scanning distance, the amount of data in the QR code, print quality, contrast, and where the code will be displayed. Print a test copy at the intended size and scan it from the expected viewing distance before producing multiple copies.
No. A QR code can contain a link or other information, so treat an unfamiliar QR code the same way you would treat an unfamiliar link. Check the destination shown by your device when possible and avoid opening suspicious or unexpected links.
No. You can create, customize, and download a QR code without registering an account or signing in.
