What is the QR Code Generator?
QR codes turn a long link or block of text into a square image any phone camera can scan. This free QR code generator encodes your text or URL instantly, lets you customize the size and colors, and downloads the result as a crisp PNG. Everything happens in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
How to use it
- Type or paste the text or URL you want to encode — for links, include the full https:// address.
- Choose the image size: 256 px for screens, 512 px for general use, 1024 px for print.
- Pick foreground and background colors. Keep strong contrast so scanners read it reliably.
- Click Generate QR code to preview it.
- Click Download PNG to save the image to your device.

Real-world use cases

Practical tips
- Always test-scan the code with your own phone before printing hundreds of copies.
- Dark codes on light backgrounds scan most reliably; avoid inverting them.
- Short URLs make simpler, easier-to-scan codes — use a short link for long addresses.
- Leave a quiet margin of white space around the code on printed designs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do QR codes made here expire?
No. The code is a static image encoding your text directly, so it works forever. It only stops being useful if the URL it points to is taken down.
What size should I download for printing?
Use 1024 px for anything printed — flyers, packaging or signage. 512 px is fine for screens and social media, and 256 px suits small on-screen uses.
Can I use brand colors in my QR code?
Yes, but keep strong contrast between the foreground and background. Very light codes or low-contrast color pairs may fail to scan on some phones.
Why did I get a “QR library failed to load” message?
The QR rendering library loads from a CDN, so it needs an internet connection on first use. Check your connection and reload the page, then try again.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The code is generated locally in your browser. Your text or URL is never uploaded anywhere.
