QR Code Generator
Create QR codes for URLs, WiFi credentials, contact cards or text. Add a small optional logo, inspect the encoded content and download SVG or PNG locally.
Make a scan lead somewhere useful.

QR Code Generator
- 01
Choose the content
Select URL, WiFi, vCard or text. Use the dedicated network/contact fields so separators and special characters are escaped for that format.
- 02
Set the appearance
Choose dimensions, colors and error correction. An optional PNG/JPEG logo is normalized locally and forces H correction.
- 03
Scan the actual download
Test the SVG or PNG on more than one device and at its intended printed/displayed size. Confirm the destination before distributing it.
Each QR type encodes a different payload
| Mode | Encoded content | Check before sharing |
|---|---|---|
| URL | An http or https URL | Destination, redirects and long-term availability. |
| WiFi | Escaped network name, security type, password and hidden flag | Exact SSID and the intended network credentials. |
| vCard | A basic version 3.0 contact card | Names, phone/email fields and receiving-device import. |
| Text | UTF-8 text | Length, privacy and whether the receiving app understands it. |
Keep a stable destination behind a printed code
A static QR stores its payload directly. To change a printed code’s destination later, you would need to control a stable URL or redirect yourself. The generator does not collect scan analytics or promise an editable hosted campaign.

Download: SVGA vector QR with a four-module quiet zone
Encoded destination visible for review
A PNG copy at the selected pixel sizeReadable geometry matters more than decoration
The encoder builds a real QR module matrix from UTF-8 content. Shorter payloads generally need fewer modules and can be easier to print at a modest size. The SVG export keeps vector edges; PNG uses the chosen pixel dimensions. Both include the quiet zone.
A logo covers part of the code. The tool limits it to a small central area and uses H error correction, but no logo size or correction setting guarantees that every camera can recover every design. Keep dark modules on a light, plain background and verify the final exported artwork rather than relying on the preview alone.
Avoid common QR publishing mistakes
Protect WiFi credentials
A WiFi QR contains the network password, not an encrypted secret that only your camera can read. Share it deliberately.
Use the right artwork format
Prefer SVG for scalable print workflows and a sufficiently large PNG for raster placement. Do not crop away the quiet zone.
Check the full journey
Scan, open the destination and complete the intended action. A technically valid code can still lead to a broken or misleading page.
QR Code Generator:
questions, answered.
Can I change a QR destination after downloading it?
The code is static. It contains the supplied payload; changing the destination later requires a stable URL or redirect that you control separately.
Does a WiFi QR hide or encrypt the network password?
No. It encodes the credentials so a compatible scanner can read them. Treat the image as sensitive network information.
Can I add a logo without breaking the QR code?
A small logo is supported with H correction, but recovery is not guaranteed. Test the actual final download on multiple devices and at the intended size.
Should I download SVG or PNG for printing?
SVG preserves vector geometry and is usually useful for scalable print placement. PNG can work at adequate resolution; retain the quiet zone and avoid blurry resizing.
