About QR Code Generator
QR codes encode arbitrary text — typically a URL — into a 2D barcode that any smartphone camera can decode. This tool generates a QR code from your input and displays it as an image. Download the PNG for embedding in slides, business cards, or signage; copy the SVG for crisp scaling at any size.
When to use it
- Producing a QR code for a website URL on a poster or business card
- Encoding Wi-Fi credentials for guest access
- Generating event check-in or coupon codes
- Embedding a quick lookup link in printed material
How it works
The text is passed to the qrcode library, which computes the QR matrix using error-correction level M (good balance of size and resilience) and renders it as either a PNG data URL or SVG markup. Everything runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
- How long can the input be?
- QR codes have a hard limit around 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 2,953 bytes. Larger inputs fail to encode. For URLs, that's generous; for full documents, use a different format.
- What error-correction level is used?
- Level M (medium, ~15% redundancy). It's the default for most QR generators and survives mild printing damage. For higher resilience (e.g. printed logos overlaid), use a dedicated QR tool with L/Q/H configurable.
- Can I customize colors or add a logo?
- Not in this tool. For branded QR codes, use a dedicated QR-design platform. This tool produces standard black-on-white codes for maximum compatibility.
