About this tool

QR codes used to feel like a gimmick. Now they're on restaurant tables, business cards, product packaging, basically everywhere. This tool lets you make one in a few seconds - type or paste whatever you want encoded (a link, plain text, your WiFi details), and the QR code generates instantly on screen. You can download it right away as a PNG, and there's no watermark stuck in the corner like you'll find on a lot of "free" generators. We also skip the email-gate trick some sites use, where you have to enter your address just to unlock the download button. A couple of practical notes if you're new to this: a QR code with more data packed into it (a long URL, for example) will look more complex and dense than one made from a short link. If you're printing it small - on a business card, say - it's worth using a shortened URL first so the code stays easy to scan. We've kept the error-correction level high enough that the code still works even if it gets a little smudged or partially covered, within reason. This generator is what's called a "static" QR code - once it's made, the content inside it doesn't change. That's fine for most everyday use. If you need to update the destination link later without reprinting the code, you'd want a dynamic QR service instead, which is a different (usually paid) category of tool.

How to use

Step 1: Enter the URL or text string in the Text or URL input box.
Step 2: Adjust the Size of the QR code using the slider.
Step 3: Customize the colors by picking a Foreground and Background color.
Step 4: Download the generated QR code image.

Yes, do this. Open your phone's camera, point it at the screen, and confirm it leads where you expect before sending it off to print.
