About the QR Code Generator
Our free QR code generator creates a scannable QR code for any URL, text, phone number, email address, or plain message — instantly, in your browser. Type or paste your content, and the QR code updates live as you type.
You have three size options: Small (200px) for compact use, Medium (300px) for most purposes, and Large (400px) for print materials or posters where the code needs to be scanned from a distance. Larger codes are easier to scan reliably.
The error correction level controls how much damage a QR code can sustain and still be readable. L (Low) gives a smaller, denser code. M (Medium) is the default. H (High) adds significant redundancy, useful if the code will be printed on a surface that might get scratched or partially covered.
All generation happens locally in your browser using the open-source qrcode library. Nothing is sent to a server — your URLs and text stay private.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum text I can encode in a QR code?
Up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters. Most URLs fit easily. Very long URLs may generate dense codes that are harder for older scanners to read.
What is error correction in a QR code?
Error correction lets a QR code be read even if part of it is damaged. Level L (7% recovery) is fine for clean digital displays. Level H (30% recovery) is better for printed codes that may get scratched or partially covered.
Do QR codes expire?
Static QR codes never expire — they encode data directly and work indefinitely. Dynamic QR codes managed by third-party services can be set to expire by the service provider.
What size should I use for printing?
A minimum of 2×2 cm for short-range scanning. As a rule of thumb, print the QR code at least 10× the expected scanning distance — so a code meant to be scanned from 1 metre should be at least 10 cm wide.
