Is the QR Code Generator free?

Yes, completely free with no account, no watermarks, and no download limits.

What content can I encode?

URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers and WiFi network credentials. Choose the content type before generating.

Can I generate a WiFi QR code?

Yes. Select the WiFi type and enter the network name (SSID) and password; guests can then join by scanning the code with their phone camera.

What is error correction in QR codes?

It is redundancy that lets a scanner read a code that is partially damaged or covered. Levels range from L (7%) to H (30%). Higher levels are more robust but produce denser codes.

Why is my QR code not scanning?

The usual causes are low contrast, a missing quiet zone around the code, too much embedded data, or a URL entered without 'https://'. Re-generate at a larger size and test the printed output.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The code is generated locally in your browser, so the content you embed never leaves your device.

What size should I export the QR code at?

Export at the largest size you may need — you can always shrink a PNG, but you cannot sharpen a small one. Print size, not file resolution, determines scanning distance.

Can I change the content after generating?

No — a QR code is static once generated. To change the destination, generate a new code (or embed a link you control in the first place).

Why does my QR code look different from other generators'?

Different generators pick different error-correction levels, versions and mask patterns. All produce standards-compliant codes; differences in density or pattern are cosmetic.

No. A printed code remains scannable indefinitely, as long as the URL it points to is still live. That is why linking to a redirect you control is the flexible option.

What is the minimum size a QR code should be printed at?

Make the printed code's shortest side at least one-fiftieth of the viewing distance — about 2-3 cm for a handheld menu and 15-20 cm for a 2-metre poster.

Can I use colours in a QR code?

Yes, as long as contrast stays high — dark modules on a light background. Avoid light-on-dark and colour-on-colour combinations, which fail with many scanners.
