Input: URL mode: profile or contact page URL
Check: Keep the printed code at least 20 mm wide and test it from a phone camera.

QR Code Generator
Turn URLs, text, and Wi-Fi settings into QR codes right in your browser. Generation runs locally and your input is not saved after reload.
QR Code Generator
Choose URL, Text, or Wi-Fi, then generate a QR code immediately without leaving the page.
Enter an http/https URL, or a bare domain such as example.com.
Text is encoded exactly as entered, including line breaks.
Enter the SSID you want devices to join.
This tool uses the common Wi-Fi QR format supported by many devices, but scan behavior can vary by OS and camera app.
Only required for WPA/WEP networks.
Enable this if the network does not broadcast its SSID.

What this tool helps with
This page is built for practical QR tasks: creating a URL QR code, turning short text into a QR code, or preparing a Wi-Fi QR code so guests can connect without manual typing.
Generation happens in the browser. There is no sign-up flow, and you can download the result as either PNG or SVG when it looks right.
Common use cases
- Create a URL QR code: send people from a flyer, slide, menu, or poster to a form, map, document, or booking page
- Convert text into a QR code: share a short note, venue instructions, event details, or a message that should open instantly on mobile
- Generate a Wi-Fi QR code: let guests connect by scanning instead of typing the SSID and password by hand
Download formats
PNG download gives you a fixed-size image that is easy to paste into documents and slides.
SVG download gives you vector output that stays sharp for print, scaling, and design-tool editing.
Scanning notes
Longer content creates denser QR codes, which can be harder for some devices to scan reliably.
Wi-Fi QR codes follow a common format, but the handoff into the connection flow can vary across devices and operating systems.
Practical QR templates
Choose the final use first, then decide the input mode and export format. This prevents a QR code that scans correctly but fails in the real handout, poster, or Wi-Fi sharing context.
Poster or notice
Input: URL mode: event page, signup form, or map link
Check: Leave a clear quiet zone and test from the expected viewing distance.
Wi-Fi sharing
Input: Wi-Fi mode: SSID, security type, and password
Check: Use it only for networks you are allowed to share; avoid posting private passwords in public areas.
Event reception
Input: URL mode: check-in form or ticket page
Check: Use SVG for print masters and confirm the destination still works before the event.
Document handout
Input: URL or text mode: reference link, short note, or file URL
Check: Prefer a stable URL and include a readable fallback text near the QR code.
Print and sharing checklist
- Keep enough white margin around the code.
- Test with both the default camera app and one QR scanner if the audience is broad.
- Use PNG for quick sharing and SVG for documents or print masters.
- Recheck Wi-Fi QR codes after changing the router password.

FAQ
Q. Is my input saved anywhere?
No. Generation runs in your browser and your input does not remain after reload.
Q. Which formats can I download?
You can download PNG and SVG. PNG is easy to reuse as an image, while SVG stays sharp for print and scaling.
Q. Will Wi-Fi QR work on every device?
It uses the common Wi-Fi QR format, but scan and connection behavior can still vary by OS and camera app.
Q. Can I turn long text into a QR code?
Often yes, but denser codes may be harder for some devices to scan, especially when the content gets long.
