✅ Optimal Size

QR codes should be at least 2x2 cm when printed. For digital use, 300x300 pixels or larger is recommended.

Always scan your QR code with different smartphones before distributing it. Test both iOS and Android.

🔒 100% Private

All QR codes are generated directly in your browser. No data is sent to our servers - your information stays private.

About QR Codes and Their Usage

QR codes (Quick Response codes) are two-dimensional barcodes that can contain various types of information and be scanned quickly with smartphones. Since their invention in 1994 by Denso Wave in Japan, QR codes have become an indispensable tool in marketing, product information, payment systems, and much more. With our QR generator, you can easily create professional QR codes for any purpose.

Common Uses of QR Codes

  • Marketing and Advertising: Link to campaign pages, offers, or product information directly from print ads, posters, or product packaging.
  • Payments: Mobile payments through apps like PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay by scanning a QR code.

Best Practices for QR Code Design

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?
Yes! All QR codes are generated 100% in your browser. No data is ever sent to any server. Your information stays private.
Which format should I download?
PNG is perfect for digital use and most printing. SVG is better if you need to scale the QR code or edit it in design software.
Can I change a QR code after creating it?
No, QR codes are static. Once you've generated it, the information is permanent. To change the content, you need to generate a new QR code.
Why isn't my QR code working?
Check: 1) That the contrast is high enough, 2) That the QR code is large enough, 3) That the surface is flat and not distorted, 4) That there's good lighting when scanning.
Can I use images or logos in the QR code?
This generator doesn't support embedded logos, but QR codes have error correction, so you can carefully add a small logo in the center using image editing software after generation.
