How do I create a QR code for a website URL?
Paste the URL into the input box and a QR code appears immediately. Adjust the size, error correction level and colours if you need to, then download the result as PNG, JPG or SVG. The QR code encodes the URL exactly as you typed it, so include the protocol like https for the link to open in a phone browser. Test by scanning the on screen QR code with your own phone before using it on a printed flyer or business card.
Can the QR code contain something other than a URL?
Yes. You can encode plain text, an email address, a phone number, an SMS template, Wi Fi network credentials, a vCard contact card, calendar events and geographic coordinates. Pick the type at the top of the form and the input fields change to match. Most modern phone cameras understand all of these formats and offer a relevant action when the QR is scanned, such as joining a Wi Fi network or saving a contact, without needing a special app.
What is the error correction level and which one should I pick?
Error correction adds redundancy so the QR code still scans when part of it is damaged or covered by a logo. Levels are L for 7 percent, M for 15, Q for 25 and H for 30 percent recovery. M is a good default for clean printing, Q is right when you put a logo in the centre, and H makes sense for outdoor stickers that may scratch. Higher levels make the code denser, so you may need to print it slightly larger.
Can I add a logo to the centre of the QR code?
Yes. Upload a small image, usually a square logo, and it is overlaid in the middle of the QR code. The tool automatically uses high error correction so the code keeps scanning even with the logo covering part of it. Keep the logo to about 20 percent of the QR width to be safe. Test scan from different distances to make sure the result still works, especially if you change the colour scheme as well as adding a logo.
Does the QR code expire or stop working over time?
No. A QR code is just a printed pattern that encodes the data you provided, so it never expires on its own. What can change is the destination, for example if the URL inside the code points to a page that has been removed or moved. To future proof printed QR codes, point them to a short URL or a redirect you control, so you can update the destination later without reprinting.
Is the data in my QR code sent to your servers?
No. Generation happens entirely in the browser, so the URL, contact card or Wi Fi password you enter never leaves your device. This makes the tool safe to use for sensitive content like internal Wi Fi credentials or pre release event details. There is no log of generated codes and the page does not require an account, so you can produce as many QR codes as you need without leaking any of the data through analytics.
