QR Code Generator: Complete Guide to Creating Custom QR Codes
Create QR codes for URLs, WiFi, vCard contacts, and more — with custom colors, logos, and shapes.
QR codes have evolved far beyond simple URL links. Modern QR codes can store WiFi credentials, contact cards, email addresses, phone numbers, and plain text — all scannable by any smartphone camera. Our QR Code Generator lets you create all these types with full visual customization.
URL QR codes are the most common type. They're used on business cards, flyers, posters, product packaging, restaurant menus, and digital marketing materials. When scanned, they open the linked webpage directly in the user's browser — no typing required.
WiFi QR codes are incredibly useful for sharing network access without revealing passwords verbally. Encode your SSID, password, and encryption type (WPA/WPA2/WPA3) into a single scannable code. Guests scan it and connect instantly. Many cafes, hotels, and co-working spaces now use WiFi QR codes exclusively.
vCard QR codes store complete contact information: name, phone, email, company, job title, and address. When scanned, the contact is added directly to the phone's address book. This is far more reliable than exchanging business cards, which often get lost or require manual entry.
Customization makes your QR codes on-brand. Our generator lets you choose foreground and background colors, select from five dot shapes (square, rounded, dots, classy, classy-rounded), and add a logo in the center. The logo is placed over a white background circle with padding to maintain scanning reliability.
QR code error correction is built in at level M (15% recovery). This means even if part of the code is obscured — by a logo, sticker damage, or printing artifact — scanners can still read it. For codes with logos, this error correction is essential.
For print materials, download your QR code at high resolution. Our generator renders codes on a crisp canvas that exports as a clean PNG suitable for billboards, banners, or business cards. Always test your QR code by scanning it after creation to verify it works correctly.
All generation happens locally in your browser. Your data — WiFi passwords, contact information, URLs — never leaves your device. This is especially important for WiFi QR codes, where the encoded password should remain private.
