Free, no watermark. Scan to test before you print.

How to create a QR code

  1. 1

    Pick what the code should do

    Choose a type: a website link, plain text, an email, a phone number, an SMS or Wi-Fi login. Each one tells the phone what to do when it scans.

  2. 2

    Enter your details

    Type the link or information. The QR code updates live as you go, so you can see exactly what you are creating.

  3. 3

    Style it

    Set the colour to match your brand and choose a download size. Keep good contrast so it stays easy to scan.

  4. 4

    Download and use it

    Download a high-resolution PNG with no watermark. Print it, add it to a flyer, a menu, a business card or an invoice, and test a scan before you go to print.

What businesses use QR codes for

A QR code turns something physical into a tap. Put one on a flyer or shop window that opens your website, on a table that opens your menu, or on an invoice that opens a payment page. Because a phone camera reads them instantly, they remove the friction of typing a link, which is exactly why they get used.

Common uses that work well: linking to your website or booking page, sharing Wi-Fi with customers without reading out a password, adding your contact details to a business card, and pointing to a review page. The Wi-Fi option here is a favourite for cafes and guesthouses, since guests connect by scanning rather than asking.

Getting a QR code that actually scans

Two things decide whether a code scans reliably: contrast and size. Keep the code dark on a light background, and avoid low-contrast colour combinations that look nice but confuse a camera. Leave the quiet margin around it intact rather than cropping tight.

For print, download at a high resolution and do not shrink it below about two centimetres square, smaller than that and phones struggle, especially in poor light. Always scan your final code with a real phone before sending anything to print. The codes this tool creates are static, which means they never expire and do not depend on us staying online.

Questions, answered

Is this QR code generator really free?+

Yes. Create and download as many QR codes as you like, with no watermark and no sign-up. The codes are yours to use anywhere.

Do the QR codes expire?+

No. These are static QR codes, so the information is encoded directly in the image. They work forever and do not depend on any service staying online.

Can I change the colour?+

Yes. Set any colour to match your brand. Keep strong contrast against a light background so the code stays easy for phones to read.

What size should I download for printing?+

Download the largest size for print, and keep the printed code at least two centimetres square. Always test a scan on a real phone before going to print.

Can I make a QR code for my Wi-Fi?+

Yes. Choose the Wi-Fi type, enter your network name and password, and guests can connect by scanning instead of typing the password.
