QR code generator

Turn any link into a scannable QR code you can download and print.

Keep the code pointing at one short link. A code that carries a whole contact card gets dense enough that phone cameras give up on it.

What the qr code generator does

The generator encodes whatever you type — a link, a name, an email address, a phone number, or any other short piece of text — into a QR code you can download as a PNG. Type a name and the code carries that name, so a scan shows it as plain text; point it at a URL instead and the scan opens that page. The code is drawn in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.

How to use it

  1. 1Paste a link, or type the name or text you want the code to carry.
  2. 2The preview redraws as you type — there is no generate button to press.
  3. 3Download the PNG and put it on a card, a slide, a poster, or a name badge.

Good to know

  • Codes come out at 512px with medium error correction, meaning roughly 15% of the code can be obscured or worn and it still scans.
  • Long text makes the code dense enough that phone cameras give up on it — keep it to a short link or a few words.
  • No account, no watermark, and no expiry: the PNG is yours and it keeps working offline.
