What this tool does

QR Code Generator turns a link, text, Wi-Fi details, an email address or a phone number into a QR code that phone cameras can scan. It also works as a Wi-Fi QR code generator: enter your network name and password, and guests can join by scanning the code instead of typing. The code updates as you type.

The QR code contains your information directly. It doesn’t go through any redirect service, so it keeps working for as long as the link or details inside it stay the same. You can change the colours, size and error correction, then download it as a PNG image or a sharp SVG file for printing.

Who it helps

  • Shops and cafés sharing a menu link or guest Wi-Fi without typing passwords.
  • Teachers linking students to worksheets, videos and forms.
  • Event organisers printing codes on posters, tickets and flyers.
  • Businesses adding a website or contact code to business cards.

How to use it

  1. Choose what the code should do: open a link, join Wi-Fi, write an email or call a number.
  2. Fill in the details. The QR code appears straight away.
  3. Test it with your phone camera, then download PNG or SVG.

Tips for QR codes that scan first time

  • Test before printing. Scan the code with two different phones.
  • Keep strong contrast. A dark code on a white or light background scans best.
  • Leave a margin. Don’t place text or images right up against the code.
  • Print big enough. At least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) for close scanning; larger for posters seen from a distance.
  • Use short links. Less content makes a simpler pattern that scans faster.

Frequently asked questions

Do these QR codes expire?

No. The information is stored inside the code itself, so it works as long as the link or details are still valid.

Can I change a QR code after printing it?

No. If you might change the link later, point the code at a page you control and update that page instead.

Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?

No. The QR code is created in your browser. Your password is not uploaded or saved.

Which colours work best?

Dark code on a light background, with strong contrast. The tool warns you when the colours may be hard for phones to read.

Can I use the QR codes for business?

Yes. The codes you make are yours to use for any purpose, including print and commercial use.
