How to Use the Tool
- Choose the QR type: Click on the desired type in the top bar (URL, text, email, phone, SMS, Wi-Fi, contact, or location).
- Enter your data: Fill in the required fields based on the selected type. For example, enter the URL for the link type, or the name and phone for the vCard type.
- Customize the appearance: Pick the code color and background color, then select the module style (square, dots, rounded, or classy).
- Add your logo: Upload a logo image (optional) that will appear at the center of the code with an elegant circular clip.
- Select the error correction level: The higher the level, the more resistant the code is to damage, but the denser it becomes. If you added a logo, choose level H.
- Download the result: Click the download button and choose PNG format (digital) or SVG (high-quality print).
Customization Options
The tool gives you full control over the appearance of your QR code:
- Colors: Choose any color for the QR modules and for the background. Make sure there is enough contrast between them for reliable scanning.
- Module styles: 4 different styles — classic square, circular dots, rounded with smooth edges, and distinctive classy. Each style gives the code a unique visual personality.
- Logo: Upload any image (PNG, JPG, or SVG) that will appear at the center with professional circular clipping using the Canvas clip technique.
- Size: Control the dimensions of the generated image to suit your needs, from a small icon to a large poster.
Error Correction Levels
QR codes contain redundancy data that allows them to be read even if part of them is damaged. There are 4 levels:
- L (Low — 7%): Tolerates up to 7% damage. Suitable for digital use on screens where there is no risk of physical damage.
- M (Medium — 15%): Tolerates up to 15% damage. The balanced default option between density and robustness, suitable for most applications.
- Q (Quartile — 25%): Tolerates up to 25% damage. Suitable for printing on surfaces prone to scratching such as packaging and labels.
- H (High — 30%): Tolerates up to 30% damage. Essential when adding a logo to the center of the code, since the logo covers some data modules.
Printing and Usage Tips
- Use SVG for printing: The SVG format is vector-based and maintains the code's sharpness at any size, from a business card to a giant banner.
- Quiet zone: Leave a white empty space around the code of at least 4 modules wide. This margin is necessary for cameras to detect the code boundaries.
- Color contrast: Use dark colors for modules and light colors for the background. Avoid colors that are similar in tone, as they cause scanning failures.
- Minimum size: Do not print the QR code smaller than 2 cm x 2 cm (about 0.8 in x 0.8 in) to ensure reliable scanning with most smartphones.
- Test before printing: Always scan the code with your phone before sending it to print to make sure it works correctly.
Practical Use Cases
- Business cards: Add a vCard QR code on your card so contacts can save your information instantly with a single scan.
- Restaurants and cafes: Replace paper menus with a QR code that opens the digital menu. Easier to update and more hygienic.
- Marketing and advertising: Place a QR code on your flyers, posters, and print ads to direct customers to your website or special offers.
- Wi-Fi sharing: In hotels, offices, and cafes, display a QR code so visitors connect instantly without asking for the password.
- Events and tickets: Use QR codes for ticket verification at the entrance, or to share event details and the venue location.
- E-commerce: Add QR codes on products to direct customers to the product page, user guide, or a tutorial video.
- Education: Teachers use QR codes to share lesson links, references, quizzes, or educational videos with students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tool completely free?
Yes, the tool is 100% free with no limit on the number of QR codes you can create. No registration or subscription required.
Do the generated QR codes expire?
No, static QR codes never expire. The content is embedded within the code itself and does not depend on any external server.
What is the difference between PNG and SVG?
PNG is a raster format suitable for digital use (websites, apps, social media). SVG is a vector format that maintains its sharpness at any size, making it ideal for professional printing.
Why should I choose error correction level H when adding a logo?
The logo is placed at the center of the code and covers some data modules. Level H provides 30% redundancy, compensating for the covered portion and ensuring reliable scanning.
