Turn any URL or text into a scannable QR code.
The QR Code Generator turns any URL, text or contact information into a scannable QR code in seconds. Download it as an image and use it on business cards, menus, posters or anywhere you want people to scan and go.
Type or paste your content into the input — a full URL like https://example.com, an email address, a Wi-Fi password, or any text up to about 4,000 characters. The QR code redraws as you type. When you're happy, right-click the image (or long-press on mobile) and save it, or use the download button. Test it by pointing your phone camera at the screen — modern iOS and Android camera apps detect QR codes automatically and offer to open the link or copy the text.
A QR (Quick Response) code is a 2D matrix where each black square represents a binary 1 and each white square a 0. Three large positioning squares in the corners let scanners orient the image at any angle. Reed-Solomon error correction is woven through the data, so you can lose, smudge, or even cover up to 30% of a code and it'll still scan. That's why printed codes can be reliable on creased menus or weathered posters. The data capacity scales with the version (size) — small codes hold a short URL, larger ones hold paragraphs of text.
Restaurant menus, business cards linking to LinkedIn, conference badges with vCard contact data, parking-meter payment links, Wi-Fi credentials at an Airbnb, marketing flyers, gift-card redemptions, museum exhibits, and self-service ordering kiosks. Anywhere a phone camera can replace typing a URL.
