Generate a QR Code From Any Link or Text

Turn any text or URL into a scannable QR code. Pick a size and color, preview it right there on the page, and download it as an image ready for a poster, business card, or product packaging.

A few uses worth mentioning

Link a printed flyer to your website, put your WiFi password on a card for guests, or embed contact details on a business card: QR codes are handy anywhere someone needs to scan first and type nothing.

A typical use case

Printing a QR code on a flyer that links to an event page, or putting one on a restaurant table that opens the menu directly, no app download required for the person scanning it.

How to Use This Tool

Choose the QR code type: URL, plain text, WiFi credentials, email, phone number, SMS, or a contact card.
Fill in the relevant fields for your chosen type.
Customize the design — dot style, eye (corner marker) style, and color, including gradient options — and optionally add a logo in the center.
Download your QR code as an image, ready to print or share digitally.

Tips for the Best Results

Every design customization is checked to make sure the code still scans correctly — adding a logo or changing colors doesn't come at the cost of reliability.
For a WiFi QR code, guests can scan it to join your network instantly without typing a password, which is genuinely useful printed on a small card for visitors.
Higher contrast between the dot color and background color scans more reliably, especially at smaller print sizes — very light colors on a light background can be harder for some scanners to read.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I encode besides a URL?

Any plain text: a phone number, an address, a WiFi password, a short message.

Will the QR code still scan if I change the color?

Yes, as long as there's enough contrast between the foreground color and the white background. Very light colors can make scanning unreliable.

What format does it download as?

A PNG image, ready to insert into a document or print directly.

Is there a size limit on the text I can encode?

Very long text produces a denser, harder-to-scan code. For anything lengthy, a shortened link works better than raw text.

Will a custom-colored or logo QR code still scan properly?

Yes, every generated code is built to remain fully scannable — the visual customization doesn't compromise the underlying data pattern.

What types of QR codes can I generate?

URLs, plain text, WiFi network credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, and vCard-style contact cards.

Can I add my logo to the center of the code?

Yes, upload a logo image and it will be placed in the center of the QR code while keeping the code scannable.
