How to Use This QR Code Generator
Creating your QR code takes just a few steps:
Choose a QR Code Type
Select from URL, Text, Email, Phone, SMS, or WiFi. Each type shows its own relevant input fields.
Enter Your Content
Fill in the details for your chosen type, such as a website address, an email address with optional subject and body, a phone number, an SMS message, or your WiFi network name and password.
Customize the Appearance
Set your QR code size, margin, and error correction level. Choose custom foreground and background colors, or turn on gradient mode for a two-color blend. Upload a logo image to place in the center if you want a branded look.
Generate and Preview
Your QR code updates automatically as you type, so you can see exactly how it looks before downloading. Use the built-in scan test overlay to visually confirm your code before printing.
Download or Share
Download your finished QR code as a PNG or SVG file, copy it directly to your clipboard, or use the share button to send it straight from your device.
Free Online QR Code Generator
Need a QR code for a website, WiFi network, email, phone number, or text message? Our free online QR Code Generator creates fully custom, scannable QR codes in seconds, right in your browser. Add your own logo, choose custom colors or a gradient, adjust size and error correction, then download as PNG or SVG. No software to install, no sign-up, and no expiration date on the QR codes you create.
Whether you’re printing a code for a business card, a WiFi guest network, a menu, or a marketing flyer, this tool gives you the full customization that many “free” generators lock behind a paid plan.
Six QR Code Types in One Tool
This generator isn’t limited to plain URLs. It supports the QR code types people actually need:
- URL: Link directly to any website, landing page, or online resource. If your link has special characters, you can prepare it using our URL Encoder Decoder first.
- Text: Encode any plain text message, note, or instructions. You can perfectly analyze your message using our Word Counter.
- Email: Pre-fill a recipient address, subject line, and message body so scanning opens a ready-to-send email.
- Phone: Encode a phone number so scanning offers to dial it immediately.
- SMS: Pre-fill a phone number and message so scanning opens a ready-to-send text.
- WiFi: Encode a network name, password, and encryption type so guests can connect by scanning, without typing a password, including support for hidden networks.
The tool also auto-detects when text you paste looks like a URL, email, phone number, or WiFi string, and suggests the matching type automatically. If you need to fix formatting before generating, our Case Converter can adjust text capitalization instantly.
What Makes This Tool Different
Many popular QR code generators, including qr-code-generator.com, QRCodeChimp, The QR Code Generator, and QR Tiger, require a free account and often gate logo uploads, color customization, SVG downloads, or dynamic editing behind a paid subscription or a trial that expires. Our tool takes a more direct approach:
No Sign-Up & Free Customization
Every feature, including logo upload, custom colors, gradients, and PNG/SVG export, is available immediately with no account creation or subscription expiration barriers.
Advanced Built-In Previews
Visually preview how your QR code will be scanned before you commit to printing it via our built-in scan test overlay, along with automatic client-side local history saving.
Full Design Control & Flexibility
Beyond the basics, this tool gives you real design flexibility:
- Custom colors: Set any foreground and background color using the built-in Color Picker or an exact hex code.
- Gradient mode: Blend two colors together across your QR code for a more distinctive look.
- Logo embedding: Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG logo to place in the center of your QR code, with automatic sizing that keeps the code scannable.
- Adjustable error correction: Choose from four error correction levels, so your QR code stays readable even if part of it is covered by a logo or slightly damaged in print.
- Size and margin control: Generate codes from small icon-sized versions up to large, print-ready sizes, with adjustable white space around the edge.
