Free QR Code Generator

This tool creates static QR codes. The destination or payload is encoded directly into the downloaded image. There is no redirect server, scan tracking, account, or hosted dashboard. If you need to change the destination later, generate a new QR code.

You can create QR codes for URLs, text, WiFi, vCard contacts, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, calendar events, maps or coordinates, UPI payments, hosted PDFs, images, videos, audio, restaurant menus, feedback forms, booking pages, coupons, and app landing page URLs.

Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP logo in the Design panel. The logo is placed in the center of the QR code. Use error correction level Q or H, keep the logo near 25% of the QR area or smaller, and scan-test the result before printing.

SVG is best for large-format print because it scales without quality loss. PNG at 2048 px or 4096 px also works well for most print jobs. Avoid using a small 512 px raster export for posters, banners, or signage.

Use 512 px for small digital previews, 1024 px for general web and light print work, and 2048 px or 4096 px for posters, packaging, menus, signage, or any situation where the code may be viewed from farther away.

Yes. Select WiFi, enter the network name, password, security type, and hidden-network option if needed. The tool builds the standard WIFI: payload so supported phones can prompt users to join the network after scanning.

Yes. Select UPI and enter the UPI ID, optional payee name, amount, and note. The tool creates a upi://pay payload with INR currency. Always test the QR code in your preferred UPI app before accepting real payments.

No. Static QR codes do not include scan tracking. To measure scans, create a trackable redirect URL with your analytics or dynamic QR service, then paste that URL into this generator.

No. Static QR codes cannot be edited after export because the data is encoded into the modules. To change the destination, payment details, WiFi password, or contact information, generate and distribute a new QR code.

No. QR generation runs in your browser. URLs, WiFi passwords, contact details, UPI IDs, phone numbers, and other payload values are used locally to render the QR image and are not uploaded to WebToolsPlanet.

Select the WiFi type from the QR type selector, enter your network name (SSID), password, and security type (WPA2 is most common). The tool builds the WIFI: payload automatically. Print the QR code and display it on tables, at the entrance, or at the counter so guests can connect without asking staff for the password.

The UPI QR code works with all standard UPI apps including GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay, and any other app that supports the upi://pay URI format. Always verify a test payment in your app before using the QR code for real transactions.

A vCard QR code can encode your full name, phone number, email address, company name, job title, website URL, and postal address. The tool formats the data as vCard 3.0, which is supported by iOS Contacts, Android, and most contact management apps. Useful for business cards and conference badges.

Yes. Select the WhatsApp type, enter the recipient phone number with country code, and optionally add a pre-filled message. Scanning the QR code opens WhatsApp and starts a chat with that number directly. Useful for business contact cards, support pages, and marketing materials.

Yes. SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without quality loss. Use SVG when the QR code will appear on posters, banners, packaging, menus, or any format larger than A4. Most professional print tools and design software accept SVG files directly.

Yes. The tool is completely free, requires no account, and has no usage limits. QR codes are generated entirely in your browser — no data is sent to a server and no registration is required.

Yes. Select the Location type and enter the latitude and longitude coordinates. The generated QR code opens the location in the user's default maps app on scan. You can get coordinates from Google Maps by right-clicking a location and copying the coordinates.

Use error correction level Q or H when adding a logo. Higher error correction allows the QR code to stay scannable even when the logo covers up to 25–30% of the modules. Levels L and M may cause scan failures with a logo present.

Common causes include low foreground/background contrast, a missing quiet zone, a logo that covers too many modules, low error correction with a logo, a very long payload, transparent backgrounds placed on busy artwork, or printing the code too small.

Use a dark foreground on a light background, keep the quiet zone clear, choose error correction M or higher, use Q or H when a logo is present, export at a high size, and test the exact printed or placed design with the devices your audience is likely to use.

Static QR codes generated here never expire. The destination is encoded directly in the QR image with no server or redirect layer, so the code works for as long as the destination itself exists. Dynamic QR codes from paid services may stop working if a subscription lapses or the redirect provider shuts down.

Yes. Toggle the transparent background option in the Design panel to remove the background fill, leaving only the foreground modules. Transparent QR codes are useful for overlaying onto flyers, product packaging, or branded artwork. Keep strong contrast between the modules and whatever background they will sit on, and always scan-test over the actual background before printing.

Yes, by setting a light foreground color and a dark background. Inverted QR codes look striking on dark packaging or slides, but many phone cameras and older scanner apps are tuned to expect dark modules on a light background and can fail to read inverted or low-contrast codes. Keep contrast at 4.5:1 or higher, use a high error correction level, and scan-test with at least two different phones before printing or publishing an inverted design.

Yes. Export SVG for the sharpest result on fabric printing (screen print or heat transfer), and keep the code at least 2×2 inches so it stays scannable on a curved or textured surface. A "Scan Me" frame or caption around the QR code — printed separately or added in your design software — significantly increases scan rates, since a bare QR code on apparel is easy to miss.

Yes. For a flyer or business card, export PNG at 1024 px or SVG and place it with a clear quiet zone and a short "Scan Me" label, since a bare code on busy print artwork is easy to overlook. For Apple Wallet, this tool does not create Wallet passes directly — generate the QR code here for the destination you want (a URL, coupon, or ticket page), then add that image to a pass using Apple's PassKit tooling or a pass-creation service.

Yes. Open the Google Doc, click Share, set link access to "Anyone with the link," copy the URL, and paste it into this generator as a URL QR code. There is no separate "Google Doc" QR type because the QR code is just encoding the document's share link — make sure the sharing permission is set correctly before printing, or scanners will hit a permission-denied page.

Those apps do not have a reliable built-in QR generator, so the simpler path is to create the QR code here and then place the exported image into your document or design file like any other graphic. Use PNG for Word or Excel, and SVG for InDesign or Illustrator so the code stays crisp at any print size. This also avoids the scan-reliability issues that generic office-suite QR add-ins are prone to.

Yes, as a URL QR code pointing to wherever the video or image is hosted (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Google Photos, or your own site) — a QR code can't embed a video or photo file directly, only a link to it. Make sure the hosting link is set to public or "anyone with the link" before printing, so scanners aren't blocked by a sign-in prompt.

Yes. Paste your RSVP form link (Google Form or similar), a shared photo album link, or your wedding website URL as a URL QR code. Many couples print one QR code on invitations for RSVP and a second on a table sign or thank-you card linking to the shared photo album — generate a separate static QR for each destination since a static code cannot be edited after printing.

Technically yes, but it is not practical — a real QR code's module pattern is generated by an encoding algorithm, and even a single misplaced pixel can make it unscannable. Hand-drawn or "rickroll" QR codes seen online were generated by software first and then reproduced carefully, not created freehand. Use this generator for anything you actually want to scan reliably.

A QR code itself can't contain a virus — it only encodes a short piece of text, usually a URL. The real risk is what that URL points to: a phishing site or a prompt to download something malicious. Treat an unknown QR code the same way you'd treat an unfamiliar link — check the destination before entering credentials or downloading a file, especially for QR codes in public places that could have been covered by a sticker.
