QR Code Generator

What a QR code is and what it can hold

Our QR code generator turns any link or text into a QR code you can download as an image and use anywhere. It's free, never expires and, most importantly, it's generated entirely in your browser: your data is never sent to any server.

A QR code is a square image that phones read with the camera to open content instantly. It can store many types of information:

• Links: a website, a social profile or a video.
• Text: a message, a code or some instructions.
• Wi-Fi: your network details to connect without typing the password.
• Contact (vCard): name, phone and email to save to contacts.
• Location, email or phone: to open the map, an email or a call.

How to use the QR generator

1. Type or paste the link or text you want to convert.
2. The QR code is generated instantly on screen.
3. Check it's correct by scanning it with your phone.
4. Download it as a PNG image to print or share it.

Self-hosted and private: generated in your browser

Unlike other generators, ours uses no external service: the QR code is created directly on your device with a library that works without connecting to servers. That means the link or data you enter (for example, your Wi-Fi password) never leaves your browser, which matters for your privacy.

What a QR code is for

• Links and profiles: share your site or socials without dictating the address.
• Menus and posters: restaurants and shops showing their menu or promos.
• Guest Wi-Fi: let visitors connect without typing the password.
• Business cards: share your contact with a single scan.
• Payments and events: payment links, tickets or guest lists.

Tips for a QR that works well

• Keep the link short: the more text, the denser and harder to read the code becomes.
• Print the QR with good contrast (dark on a light background) and a large enough size.
• Leave a white margin around it and test scanning before printing it large.

Privacy: everything happens in your browser

The code is generated on your own device and the image is created locally; nothing is sent to any server, so you can use it with complete peace of mind.

Special QR formats

Besides links and text, you can create QR codes with special content by typing the right format:

Format examples

• Wi-Fi: WIFI:S:NetworkName;T:WPA;P:yourpassword;; to connect automatically.
• Web link: https://yourdomain.com to open a page.
• Email: mailto:hi@example.com to compose an email.
• Phone: tel:+15551234567 to start a call.
• Location: geo:40.4168,-3.7038 to open the map.

QR codes for businesses and events

QR codes are a very handy tool for small businesses and events: a poster with the menu QR, a sticker with your guest Wi-Fi or a card with your contact QR save time and give a modern image. Since this tool is free and watermark-free, you can generate as many as you need.
