Make QR codes instantly, right in your browser

This free QR code generator turns any text, link, Wi-Fi note, phone number, or short message into a scannable QR code the moment you type it. Everything happens locally on your device — the text you enter is never sent to a server, stored, or logged, which makes it safe for private links, internal URLs, and anything you would rather keep to yourself. There are no sign-ups, no watermarks, and no limits on how many codes you create.

Sizes, colors & error correction

Choose an output from 128 to 1024 pixels — larger sizes print more cleanly on posters, packaging, and product inserts. Custom foreground and background colors let you match a brand, though you should keep strong contrast (dark modules on a light background) so scanners can still read the code. The error-correction setting controls how much of the code can be damaged or covered and still scan: L survives about 7% damage, M about 15%, Q about 25%, and H about 30%. Higher levels make the code denser, so use L or M for long URLs and H when the code might get scuffed or partially covered by a logo.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste your text or URL into the box — the QR code updates live as you type.
  2. Pick an image size. 320 px is fine for screens; use 512 px or more for print.
  3. Set the error-correction level and, if you like, custom foreground and background colors.
  4. Adjust the quiet zone (the blank border) — 2 to 4 modules is the safe standard.
  5. Click Download PNG and test the code with your phone camera before publishing it.

FAQ

Is the text I enter uploaded anywhere?
No. The code is generated entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type leaves your device, and closing the tab erases everything.
Do these QR codes expire?
Never. This tool makes static QR codes — the data is baked directly into the image, so it works forever with no account or subscription. The trade-off is that you cannot edit the destination after printing.
How much text can a QR code hold?
Up to roughly 2,900 characters at the lowest error-correction level, but shorter is better — long strings create dense codes that are harder to scan. For URLs, aim for under 300 characters.
Why won't my colored QR code scan?
Contrast is too low or the colors are inverted. Keep the foreground clearly darker than the background, and always test a print at final size before mass-producing it.
