Essential information about QR codes and our generation platform

What exactly is a QR code? +

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information in a pattern of black and white squares. Originally created for tracking automotive parts, QR codes now encode URLs, contact info, WiFi credentials, payment data, and much more.

Our generator creates ISO/IEC 18004 compliant codes that work universally with all standard QR readers and smartphone cameras—no special app required.

What makes your generator stand out? +

We've built a professional-grade tool that's completely free and accessible to everyone:

  • Unlimited generation with zero restrictions or hidden fees
  • High-resolution exports up to 4K for crisp printing
  • Advanced styling options: colors, logos, frames, and patterns

Quality that rivals expensive professional tools, with the simplicity and accessibility everyone deserves.

What types of QR codes can I create? +

Our platform supports all popular QR code types for different use cases:

  • URL Codes: Website links, landing pages, and social media profiles
  • Contact Cards: vCard format with name, phone, email, and address
  • WiFi Credentials: Network name, password, and security type for instant connection
Which formats and standards do you support? +

We generate codes following international standards, ensuring universal compatibility across all devices and applications worldwide.

  • URL/Website links
  • Plain text messages
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers & SMS
  • WiFi networks
  • vCard contacts

All codes include configurable error correction, enabling them to function even if partially damaged or obscured.

Creating Your Codes

Step-by-step guidance for code generation and customization

How do I generate my first QR code? +

Creating a QR code is incredibly straightforward—no technical knowledge needed:

  • 1. Choose Content Type: Select URL, text, vCard, WiFi, or another format
  • 2. Enter Your Data: Type or paste the information you want to encode
  • 3. Customize Appearance: Optional: Add colors, logos, frames, and styling
  • 4. Generate & Download: Click generate and download in your preferred format
  • 5. Test Your Code: Scan with your phone to verify it works correctly
  • Done!: Use your code digitally or print it for physical applications
What are the best practices for QR codes? +

Follow these guidelines to ensure reliable scanning and professional appearance:

  • Sufficient Size: Minimum 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches) for reliable scanning at typical distances
  • High Contrast: Dark codes on light backgrounds work best—ensure at least 70% contrast difference
  • Test Before Distributing: Always scan your codes with multiple devices before printing or sharing widely

Pro tip: QR codes with high error correction (Level H) can still scan even if up to 30% of the code is damaged or obscured.

Do I need any special software or account? +

Absolutely nothing is required beyond a web browser:

  • No Installation: Works directly in any modern browser—no downloads needed
  • No Registration: Generate unlimited codes without creating an account
  • Instant Access: Start creating professional codes immediately
  • Cross-Platform: Compatible with desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices

For advanced customization features, we recommend using a desktop or laptop computer for the best experience.
