QR Code Generator FAQ
What is a QR code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information such as URLs, text, contact details, or WiFi credentials. When someone scans it with a smartphone camera or a QR reader app, the device opens the content or performs the action—for example, opening a link, joining WiFi, or saving a contact. QR codes are useful when you want to share information quickly without typing.
How do I create a QR code with this tool?
Select the type of content (URL, WiFi, email, vCard, phone, location, or WhatsApp), enter the required details in the form, and optionally customize colors and add a logo. The preview updates as you type. When you're ready, download the QR code as PNG, SVG, or PDF. No account or signup is required. Generation runs entirely in your browser, so your data is not sent to our servers.
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes. You can create and download as many QR codes as you like at no cost. There is no signup, no account, and no payment. The tool is free to use because we want people to have a simple, reliable way to create QR codes for personal or business use.
Can I customize how my QR code looks?
Yes. You can change the dot style (square, rounded, or dots), corner style (square, rounded, or extra rounded), and the foreground and background colors. You can also add a logo in the center and choose a frame style. For reliable scanning, keep strong contrast between the code and the background, and avoid covering too much of the code with a logo.
Do QR codes expire?
The QR code image itself does not expire. It will work as long as the content it points to is available. If the code contains a URL, that link must stay active; if the page is removed or the URL changes, scanning the code will no longer lead to the intended destination. Static content encoded in the code (such as plain text or WiFi details) does not depend on a server and will continue to work.
How do I scan a QR code?
On most smartphones, open the built-in camera app and point it at the QR code. A notification or banner may appear to open the link or action. You can also use a dedicated QR code scanner app from your device's app store. Many phones have a QR scanner in quick settings or search. No special software is needed for standard QR codes.
