What a QR code generator does

A QR code generator turns a link or a short text into a square barcode that a phone camera can read. Point the camera at the code and the phone offers to open the link. This tool makes static QR codes: the link sits inside the code itself, so the code works without any service in between and never expires.

A static code has one limit: you cannot change where it points after you print it. That is why many creators point their code at one page that holds all their links, such as a link in bio page. They update the page and never reprint the code.

Everything runs in your browser. Your link is not sent to a server, and there is no account, no watermark and no limit on how many codes you make.

How to make a QR code

  1. Paste your link

    Paste a full web address that starts with https://. Short addresses make simpler codes that scan faster.

  2. Pick colours and size

    Use a dark code on a light background. The tool warns you when the contrast is too low for phone cameras.

  3. Download PNG or SVG

    PNG works on screens, posts and slides. SVG stays sharp at any size, so use it for print.

  4. Test it before you print

    Scan the code with two different phones from the distance people will stand. Then print the rest.

QR code settings that matter

These are the settings in the tool above, with what to choose and why.

SettingWhat to chooseWhy
Error correctionM for screens, Q or H for printLevel L restores about 7% of a damaged code, M about 15%, Q about 25% and H about 30%. Higher levels make a denser code.
Quiet zone4 modules (the default here)The blank margin around the code helps cameras find it. The QR standard asks for at least four modules.
ColoursDark code on a light backgroundCameras read contrast. A light code on a dark background, or two similar colours, fails on many phones.
File typePNG for screens, SVG for printA PNG is pixels. An SVG is drawn with shapes, so a printer can scale it to any size.
Link lengthAs short as possibleEvery extra character adds modules. A short link gives bigger squares that scan from further away.

QR code questions

Is this QR code generator free?

Yes. You can make as many QR codes as you want, with no account and no watermark. Download them as PNG or SVG files and use them on posters, menus, business cards, slides and packaging, including for commercial use. Nothing you type is saved.

Do these QR codes expire?

No. This tool makes static QR codes, so the link is stored inside the code itself and no server sits in between. Some QR sites make dynamic codes that redirect through their own server. If that service or your subscription ends, a dynamic code can stop working.

Can I change the link after I print the QR code?

Not in a static code, because the link is part of the pattern. To change where people land later, point the code at a page you control, such as a More.You link in bio page. Edit the page and the printed code opens the new version.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

Use PNG for screens: social posts, slides, emails and websites. Use SVG for print. An SVG is drawn with shapes, so it stays sharp on a business card and on a large poster. Most print shops and design tools accept SVG files.

What size should I print a QR code?

Big enough for the distance people stand from it. A code on a business card is read from a few centimetres. A code on a poster is read from across a room. Print one test copy, scan it with two different phones from that distance, then print the rest.

Can I make a QR code in my brand colours?

Yes. Pick any code colour and any background colour in the tool. Keep the code dark and the background light, because phone cameras read contrast. The tool shows a warning when your two colours are too close to scan well, so you can fix them before you download.

Can a QR code open my Instagram or TikTok profile?

Yes. Paste your profile address, for example https://www.instagram.com/yourname, and download the code. If you have more than one profile, point the code at a link in bio page that lists all of them. Then one printed code covers every profile you have.
