QR Code Generator

QR code generator

Turn any link or text into a QR code instantly. Adjust error correction and download as PNG or SVG — free, no watermark.

▌ Text or URL

Higher error correction survives partial damage but makes a denser code. PNG is best for sharing; SVG scales cleanly for print.

Make a QR code in seconds

Type or paste a URL — or any text — and the QR code updates live as you go. When it looks right, download a PNG for screens and documents or an SVG for print, where it stays razor-sharp at any size, from a business card to a poster. Everything is generated in your browser, so the link or text you encode never touches a server.

Error correction, explained

The one setting worth understanding is the error-correction level. QR codes build in redundancy so they still scan when partly obscured or damaged — a higher level means more of the code can be covered (say, by a logo in the middle) and still read, at the cost of a denser pattern. For a plain link, Low or Medium is fine; if you're placing a logo over the code or printing on something that might scuff, choose High.

Tips for codes that actually scan

A few habits prevent dead codes. Keep a quiet margin of empty space around the code so cameras can find its edges, and maintain strong contrast — dark code on a light background scans far more reliably than the reverse. Always test the exported version with a couple of phones before committing to a print run. One more advantage of encoding your link directly: there's no tracking redirect, so your QR codes keep working forever and point straight to your link.

FAQ

Do these QR codes expire?
No. The QR encodes your text or URL directly, so it never expires and isn't routed through any tracking service.
PNG or SVG — which should I use?
Use PNG for websites, messages, and slides. Use SVG for print and large formats since it stays sharp at any size.
What is error correction?
QR codes can still be read when partly obscured. Higher error correction (up to ~30%) adds redundancy so the code survives damage or a logo overlay, at the cost of a denser pattern.
