QR Code Generator

Free QR Code Generator — URLs, WiFi, Email & More

QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that store information readable by smartphone cameras. They've become essential for businesses — from restaurant menus and contactless payments to marketing campaigns and event check-ins.

Types of QR Codes You Can Create

URL QR Codes: The most common type. Link directly to your website, landing page, product page, or social media profile. Great for print materials, business cards, and signage.

WiFi QR Codes: Allow guests to connect to your WiFi network by scanning — no need to type the password. Perfect for cafes, offices, hotels, and events.

Email QR Codes: Pre-fill the recipient address, subject line, and message body. Useful for customer feedback, support requests, and marketing campaigns.

Plain Text QR Codes: Store any text content. Used for product information, serial numbers, asset tracking, and more.

QR Code Best Practices

• Size matters: For print, ensure QR codes are at least 2cm x 2cm. For billboards or distance scanning, follow the 10:1 rule — the scanning distance should be no more than 10 times the QR code size.
• Contrast is key: Use dark foreground on light background. Avoid low-contrast colour combinations. The default black-on-white has the highest scan reliability.
• Error correction: Higher error correction (Q or H) allows the code to be read even if partially damaged or obscured, but requires more data density. Use Level M for most purposes, Level H if the code might be partially covered.
• Test before printing: Always scan your QR code on multiple devices before printing thousands of copies.
• Add a call-to-action: Don't just place a QR code — tell people what they'll get when they scan it. "Scan for menu", "Scan to connect to WiFi", etc.
