How it works

Three steps, no account

Choose a type

Pick what your QR code should do: open a link, share Wi-Fi, show a contact card, or display text.

Fill in the details

Type your information. The preview updates instantly as you go — nothing is sent anywhere.

Download and use

Save the PNG and use it anywhere — print it, add it to a design, or share it digitally.

The basics

What is a QR code?

A QR code is a small square pattern that stores information — like a link, a Wi-Fi password, or a contact card — in a way a phone camera can read instantly. Instead of typing a long web address or manually adding a contact, scanning the code does it in a second.

QR codes are read by the same camera you already use for photos. Most phones recognize them automatically without needing a separate app.

Worth knowing

Static vs. dynamic QR codes

Many "free" QR tools actually create dynamic codes — the code itself just points to a short link on their server, which they can deactivate later unless you keep paying. The codes you create here are static: your information is built directly into the pattern, so there's no subscription to lapse and nothing that can be switched off.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Basics

Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. Every QR code you create here is completely free, with no limit on how many you generate. There is no paid tier, no watermark, and no feature locked behind a payment.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no account of any kind. Open the page, fill in your details, and download your QR code.
Will my QR code ever expire?
No. The codes generated here are static, meaning the information is encoded directly into the QR pattern itself. There is no external server keeping it alive, so it cannot expire, get deactivated, or stop working because a subscription lapsed.
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static QR code has its destination or data permanently built into the code, so it always works the same way for free. A dynamic QR code points to a short redirect link controlled by a company's server, which lets the destination be changed later, but usually requires an account and a subscription, and can stop working if that subscription ends.

Using your QR code

What types of QR codes can I create?
You can create QR codes for website links, plain text, Wi-Fi network credentials, contact cards (vCards), and email messages.
How do I scan a QR code?
On most modern phones, just open the built-in camera app and point it at the code. A notification or link preview will appear on screen; tap it to open. If nothing appears, check that QR scanning is enabled in your camera settings, or use Google Lens or a free QR scanner app.
What file format can I download my QR code in?
QR codes can be downloaded as a PNG image, which works for printing, sharing digitally, or placing in documents and designs.
Can I use these QR codes for my business?
Yes. There are no usage restrictions or licensing fees. You can use the codes you generate for personal or commercial purposes, including products, packaging, menus, and marketing materials.

Privacy & technical

Is my data sent to a server when I generate a QR code?
No. The QR code is generated entirely inside your own browser. The text, link, or Wi-Fi password you enter is never transmitted to or stored on any server.
Why is a Wi-Fi QR code more secure than writing down the password?
A Wi-Fi QR code lets a guest connect to your network without ever seeing or typing the actual password, since scanning the code connects them automatically. The password itself is still encoded inside the QR image, so only share it with people you trust.
