How to Generate a QR Code

Turn any link or text into a scannable QR code in seconds - no app, free, and private.

What is a QR code?

A QR code is a square barcode that stores text, usually a website link. A phone camera reads it and opens the link instantly, which makes QR codes handy for menus, posters, business cards, and Wi-Fi sharing.

How to make one

Open the generator, paste your URL or text, and the QR code appears immediately. Download it as a PNG for print or screen. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Tips for scannable codes

Keep the destination URL short, leave white space around the code, print it large enough, and always test it with a real phone before publishing.

Static vs dynamic codes

A static code stores the data itself and never expires. A dynamic code stores an editable redirect but depends on a third-party service. For most needs, static is simplest and most reliable.

FAQ

Do QR codes expire?

A static QR code that contains a URL or text directly never expires - it works as long as the destination exists.

Can I make a QR code for Wi-Fi?

Yes. Encode the text WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;; and phones can join the network by scanning it.
