About QR Code Generators

A QR code is just a container — what matters is the data you put inside it, because that is what decides what a phone does when it scans. This category has fifteen generators, one for each common payload. There is the general QR code generator for anything, the URL QR code generator for a link, the WiFi QR code generator that joins a guest to your network without typing a password, and the vCard QR code generator that drops your details straight into someone's contacts. Small businesses, event organisers, cafes and anyone printing a poster end up here.

Pick by what you want to happen after the scan. If you want a phone to open something, use the URL generator — that covers menus, forms, reviews and landing pages. If you want it to start a conversation, the WhatsApp, SMS, email and phone generators pre-fill the message or number so the person only has to hit send. For following an account, the Instagram, Facebook, X, Telegram and YouTube generators build the right link for you. The WiFi generator is the one guests love, and the location generator opens a map pin, which is worth more than a written address on an invitation. Going the other way, the QR code scanner reads a code with your camera or from an image file — genuinely useful for checking what a code in the wild actually points at before you trust it.

All fifteen are free, need no sign-up, and generate the code entirely in your browser, so the WiFi password or contact details you enter are never uploaded to us. Every code is static, which has two consequences worth understanding. First, the data is baked into the pattern permanently — you cannot change where a printed code points, so you never depend on us staying online, but a typo means reprinting. Second, static codes cannot track scans. Before printing anything at size, scan your own code from the final material, and leave a quiet margin around it. See also barcode generators.

Frequently asked questions

Do these QR codes expire or stop working?

No. Every code here is static, meaning the data is encoded directly into the pattern itself. It does not point back through our servers, so it will keep working forever, even if this site disappears. The trade-off is that you cannot edit the destination after printing, and there is no scan tracking.

Is my WiFi password or contact information sent to you?

No. The code is generated in your browser using JavaScript, so whatever you type stays on your device and is never uploaded, stored or logged. That is exactly why this is a reasonable place to make a WiFi code.

Can I use these codes commercially, on packaging or signage?

Yes. The QR code specification is open and free of licensing restrictions, and the PNG you download is yours to use with no attribution and no limits.

How small can I print a QR code?

It depends on how much data it holds and how far away it will be scanned. As a rough guide, keep it at least 2 by 2 centimetres for something held in the hand, go larger for anything scanned from a distance, keep strong contrast, and always leave a quiet blank margin around the code. Test-scan the printed piece before ordering a full run.
