Qr Code Generator

QR codes connect print and the physical world to digital content: a poster linking to an event page, a menu on a restaurant table, a business card leading to a portfolio or a product label opening a manual. This generator creates a QR code from any URL or text, with custom colours, and lets you download it for print or web.

How to use it

1. Enter the URL or text.
2. Choose foreground and background colours and the error correction level if available.
3. Download the image and test it with your phone camera before printing.

Error correction levels

QR codes contain redundancy that lets them be read even when partly damaged or covered:

• L: about 7% recoverable, smallest code.
• M: about 15%, a good default.
• Q: about 25%.
• H: about 30%, needed if you place a logo in the centre.

Design and print rules

• Contrast: keep a dark code on a light background. Inverted or low-contrast colours fail on many scanners.
• Quiet zone: leave a blank margin of about four modules around the code.
• Size: at least 2 × 2 cm for close scanning; scale up with distance, roughly 1 cm per 10 cm of scanning distance.
• Shorter data makes a less dense, easier-to-scan code. Use short URLs for printed codes.
• Use SVG or a high-resolution PNG for print so edges stay sharp.

Static codes do not expire

The content is encoded directly in the pattern, so this code works forever and does not depend on a tracking service. If you might need to change the destination later, encode a URL you control and redirect it as needed.
