Scanning opens a WhatsApp chat with your number and message ready to send.
Tip: in Google Maps, right-click a spot and click the coordinates to copy them. Scanning opens the location in the phone's map app.
⚠ Low contrast — this QR code may not scan reliably. Increase the difference between foreground and background.

Short URL with NamecheapWhat Is a QR Code and How Do You Create One?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that any smartphone camera can read in under a second. When scanned, it instantly opens a URL, connects to a WiFi network, saves a contact, starts a WhatsApp chat, opens a map location, or adds an event to a calendar — no typing required. This free QR code generator builds valid, standards-compliant codes for ten content types, and everything runs in your browser. Your data is never uploaded to a server — not your WiFi password, not your contact details, nothing.
Make It Branded: Colors, Dots, Gradients & Logos
A plain black-and-white QR code works, but a branded one earns far more scans. Choose any foreground and background color (the built-in contrast checker warns you if the combination is too low to scan), switch the data modules to rounded or dot styles, apply a two-color gradient, recolor the three corner "eyes," and drop your logo in the center. To keep every design reliable, the three finder patterns stay solid and the generator nudges you to High error correction whenever a logo is present — so your code stays scannable while looking like your brand.
WiFi QR Codes — Share Your Password Without Saying a Word
The most popular use case for QR codes in homes and small businesses is WiFi sharing. Instead of spelling out a complex password, print a QR code by your router or on a menu and guests scan to connect instantly. This tool uses the correct WIFI: URI format that Android and iOS both recognize natively, and supports WPA/WPA2, WEP, open networks, and hidden SSIDs.
vCard, WhatsApp, Location & Event Codes
A vCard QR code encodes your name, title, company, phone, email, website, and address following the vCard 3.0 standard (RFC 2426), so phones can import it into contacts with one scan — perfect for business cards and email signatures. A WhatsApp code opens a chat with a pre-filled message, a location code drops a pin in the phone's map app, and an event code adds your meeting or party straight to the calendar with the right date, time, and place.
Batch Generation & Printable Sheets
Need a code for every table, product, or property? The Pro batch generator turns a pasted list or CSV into dozens of QR codes at once and downloads them as a single ZIP, plus a printable PDF label sheet — all generated locally, with no upload and no per-code fee. Save your colors and style as a brand preset so every batch matches.
Downloading PNG vs. SVG
PNG is the right choice for most uses: social posts, digital displays, websites, and quick prints — use the 1024px option for high-quality printing. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is resolution-independent, so you can scale it to any size in a design tool like Illustrator or Canva without pixelation, which makes it ideal for posters, signage, and trade-show displays. You can also copy the image straight to your clipboard to paste into another app.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best size for a printed QR code?
For printing, use the 1024px download or the SVG and resize in your design software. As a rule, a QR code should be at least 2 cm × 2 cm when printed, and the scanning distance should be approximately 10× the code's printed size. A 5 cm × 5 cm code scans from roughly 50 cm away.
Why doesn't my WiFi QR code work on my phone?
Make sure the SSID and password match exactly, including upper/lower case and spaces. Ensure you selected the correct encryption type — most modern routers use WPA. iPhones need iOS 11+ to scan WiFi codes natively; Android 10+ supports it as standard.
Can I put my logo in the center of the QR code?
Yes. Upload a logo image with the logo overlay option. The generator switches to High (H) error correction, which tolerates up to 30% of the code being obscured — enough for a centered logo. Keep the logo under about 25% of the code area, and always test before printing.
Will a rounded, dotted or gradient QR code still scan?
Yes. The three corner finder patterns stay solid for reliable detection, and only the data modules change shape. Keep strong contrast between the code and background, use High error correction when adding a logo, and test on a couple of phones before distributing.
Is my data safe? Does anything get uploaded?
Nothing is uploaded. QR generation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your URLs, WiFi passwords and contact details never leave your device, and the tool works offline once loaded.
What is the difference between PNG and SVG downloads?
PNG is a fixed-resolution image — great for web, email and standard printing. SVG is a vector that scales to any size without quality loss, ideal for large-format printing such as posters and signage. For business cards and menus, either works.
Can I create many QR codes at once?
Yes. The Pro batch generator turns a pasted list or CSV into many QR codes at once and downloads them as a single ZIP, plus a printable PDF label sheet — all generated locally in your browser, with no per-code fee.
