Create a free QR code from any URL or text, choose the size, and download it as a PNG image. No signup, no watermark — generated right in your browser.
What is a QR code generator?
A QR code generator turns a web link or piece of text into a scannable square barcode that any modern phone camera can read. Point a camera at the code and it opens the link or shows the text — no typing required. This tool builds the code instantly in your browser as you type, and lets you download it as a clean PNG image for printing or sharing.
What you can put in a QR code
The most common use is a website link, but a QR code can hold plain text, contact details, Wi-Fi join information, a phone number or an email address. Businesses print them on menus, posters, packaging and business cards so customers can reach a page in one tap. Because the code is generated locally, you can preview it, recolour it and resize it before downloading.
Tips for QR codes that scan reliably
Keep a strong contrast between the code and its background — dark code on a light background scans best. Avoid making it too small when printed; a few centimetres square is a safe minimum for posters. Leave a little white margin around the edges so cameras can lock on, and always test the final printed code with a real phone before sending it to print.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these QR codes free to use?
Yes. They are completely free, with no watermark and no expiry. Download and use them however you like, including commercially.
Do the codes ever stop working?
No. These are static QR codes — the link is baked directly into the image, so they keep working forever as long as the destination exists.
Can I change the colour?
Yes. Pick any dark colour for the code. Just keep enough contrast with the white background so phones can scan it reliably.
What image format do I get?
You download a standard PNG image, which works in documents, presentations and print.
