QR Code Generator

Generate QR codes for URLs, WiFi, vCard and more online free. Create custom QR codes instantly.

Create QR codes for URLs, plain text, WiFi access, contact cards, and more. This free browser tool produces scannable codes ready for print and screen, with no tracking redirects involved. Design flyers, menus, or business cards knowing each code links exactly where you intend to send it.

Types of QR Content

Beyond website links, QR codes can carry WiFi credentials so guests connect automatically, vCard contact details for business cards, phone numbers, email addresses, and plain messages. Choose the content type first, because scanners display or act on data differently depending on its format.

WiFi QR Codes for Guests

Encode your network name, password, and encryption type so visitors scan once and join without typing. Print the code near the reception desk or attach it to a welcome sheet, and keep a printed spare at the front counter for replacement. Remember that anyone who scans it can share the credentials, so use a guest network where possible.

  • URL codes for campaigns and menus
  • WiFi codes for offices, cafes, and events
  • vCard codes that save contacts instantly

Design and Contrast

Scanners need contrast: dark modules on a light background work best. Avoid placing codes over busy photos, and never recolor them into low-contrast brand tints. Keep the quiet zone, the empty margin around the code, intact for reliable detection, and resist adding logos inside the module grid where they corrupt scannable pattern data.

Print Size and Placement

As a rule of thumb, a QR code should be at least two centimeters square for handheld scanning at arm's length, larger for posters read across a room. Test prints with several phones before a big run, including cases where the screen is dim or slightly smudged. Reorder the same artwork whenever the destination URL changes, since print cannot be patched after the fact and outdated codes waste an entire print run.

Test Before You Share

Always scan your own code with at least two different apps before printing thousands. Check that long URLs fit without truncation, that passwords show correctly, and that landing pages work on mobile. Generation happens locally, so event and campaign details stay private.
