Create a QR code for a website, a piece of text, your Wi-Fi network, an email, a phone number, a text message or a digital business card. The code is redrawn as you type, so you see the result immediately, and you can download it as a sharp PNG of up to 2048 pixels or as a scalable SVG for print.
These are static QR codes: the information is stored in the pattern itself, so they never expire, need no account and do not track who scans them. They are generated in your browser, which means your Wi-Fi password or contact details are never sent to a server.
How to use the QR Code Generator tool

Tips for QR codes that always scan
Keep strong contrast: a dark code on a light background. Many scanner apps cannot read light-on-dark (inverted) codes, and pale colours such as yellow fail in poor light.
Leave the quiet zone, the empty border around the code. Four modules is the standard; cutting it to zero often makes codes unreadable when printed next to other graphics.
Print at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) for scanning at arm’s length, and roughly 1/10 of the scanning distance for posters. Shorter content gives a simpler pattern that scans more easily at small sizes.
Which error correction level should I use?
Error correction lets a code be read even if part of it is dirty or covered. Low (7%) gives the simplest pattern and suits screens. Medium (15%) is a good default for print. Quartile (25%) and High (30%) are best for codes on packaging or outdoors, or when you plan to place a small logo over the centre.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static codes with the content stored directly in the pattern, so they work forever and do not depend on this website.
How does the Wi-Fi QR code work?
It stores your network name, password and security type in the standard WIFI: format. iPhones and Android phones show a “Join network” prompt when they scan it with the camera.
PNG or SVG: which should I download?
Use PNG for websites, slides and documents. Use SVG for printing and for design apps like Illustrator, Figma or Canva, because it stays sharp at any size.
Can I track how many people scan my code?
Not with a static code. To count scans, point the QR code at a link you control that has analytics, such as a page on your site with UTM parameters.
How much data can a QR code hold?
Up to about 2,900 bytes at Low error correction, or about 1,270 bytes at High. In practice, keep it much shorter: long content makes a dense code that is hard to scan.
