Free QR Code Generator

This free QR code generator lets you turn a website link, block of text, email address, phone number, or WiFi network into a scannable code, entirely in your browser. There's nothing to install, no design skills needed, and no limit on how many codes you create — just pick a type, enter your content, and download a ready-to-use PNG.

Every code is built locally on your own device, so nothing you type is ever uploaded or stored on a server. That makes this a fast, private way to prepare QR codes for business cards, restaurant menus, product packaging, marketing flyers, event tickets, and anywhere else a quick scan can replace typing something out by hand.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Step 1. Select the QR code type — URL, text, email, phone, or WiFi.
  2. Step 2. Enter your content, such as a website address, message, or WiFi details.
  3. Step 3. Customize the foreground and background colors, size, and error correction level.
  4. Step 4. Preview the QR code to make sure it looks right and will scan reliably.
  5. Step 5. Download your QR code as a PNG, ready to print or share.

Key Features

URL QR Codes

Turn any website address into a scannable code that opens the page directly on a visitor's phone, no typing required.

Text QR Codes

Encode any plain text — a message, instructions, or a short note — into a code that displays the text the moment it's scanned.

Email QR Codes

Pre-fill a recipient, subject, and message so scanning the code opens a ready-to-send email in the visitor's mail app.

Phone QR Codes

Let people call a number instantly by scanning, which is handy for support lines, sales contacts, and printed ads.

WiFi QR Codes

Share network access without reading out a password — scanning connects a phone straight to your WiFi automatically.

Instant Preview

See the finished QR code update live as you type or adjust settings, so you always know exactly what you'll download.

Custom Colors

Set the foreground and background colors to match your branding while keeping the code sharp and scannable.

Adjustable Size

Scale the QR code up or down to fit anything from a small product label to a large printed poster.

Error Correction Levels

Choose from Low, Medium, Quartile, or High correction so your code keeps scanning even if it's partially covered or damaged.

PNG Download

Download a clean PNG file with a single click, ready to drop straight into a document, website, or print layout.

Browser-Based Processing

Every QR code is generated locally using your browser's own processing power, without sending your content anywhere.

QR Code Best Practices

Test Before You Print

Scan your QR code with a couple of different phones before sending it to print, to confirm it opens correctly every time.

Keep Contrast High

Choose a foreground and background color combination with strong contrast so cameras can read the code quickly in any lighting.

Leave Enough Margin

A clear quiet zone around the code helps scanners lock onto it faster, especially on busy or printed backgrounds.

Size It for the Distance

Larger codes are easier to scan from farther away, so match the size to where and how people will be scanning it.

Use a Higher Error Correction Level When Needed

If a logo, texture, or wear and tear might cover part of the code, a higher correction level keeps it scannable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR Code Generator free?

Yes. Every QR code you create is completely free, with no signup, no account, and no watermark added to your downloaded image. You can generate as many codes as you need.

Are QR codes generated locally in my browser?

Yes. Your content is turned into a QR code entirely on your own device. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server, so your links, contact details, and WiFi credentials stay private.

Can I create a WiFi QR code?

Yes. Enter your network name, password, and security type, and the tool builds a scannable QR code that connects a phone to your WiFi automatically, without anyone typing the password.

Can I generate a QR code for a website URL?

Yes. Choose the URL type, paste in your website address, and the generator creates a code that opens that page directly when scanned with a phone camera.

Can I customize the colors of my QR code?

Yes. You can set both the foreground and background colors to match your branding, then preview the result before downloading to make sure it still scans clearly.

Do QR codes expire?

No. The QR codes created here are static images that encode your content directly, so they don't expire and don't rely on any ongoing service to keep working.

Can I use QR codes commercially?

Yes. Downloaded QR codes have no watermark and no usage restrictions, so you're free to print them on packaging, menus, flyers, business cards, or any other commercial material.

What error correction level should I choose?

Medium works well for most everyday uses. Choose a higher level like Quartile or High if the code will be printed small, placed on packaging, or partially covered by a logo, since higher levels tolerate more damage.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser, so you can create and download a QR code directly from your phone without installing an app.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. The text, links, or WiFi details you enter are never sent to a server or stored anywhere online.
