QR-Code Generator
Turn text or a URL into a QR code and download it as a PNG or SVG.
Use this free QR code generator to turn a URL, plain text, or Wi-Fi style payload into a scannable code. Create a QR code for a website link, short note, or connection string and download PNG or SVG. Pick a size that fits print or screen use. Generation runs in your browser so the text is not uploaded to our servers. No sign-up is required.
How to use
- Add contentEnter a URL, plain text, or other payload to encode.
- Configure sizeChoose a pixel size that matches print or screen use.
- DownloadExport PNG or SVG and save the QR code.
The text is encoded into a QR code matrix with error correction and rendered as a scalable SVG or a PNG image at the selected size. Everything happens in your browser — the text is never uploaded anywhere.
QR codes for URL, Wi-Fi, and text
A QR code for a URL is the most common US marketing use. Encode the full https link so phones open the page after a scan.
A Wi-Fi QR code usually follows the WIFI:T:...;S:...;P:...;; text format many camera apps understand. Double-check SSID and password before you print.
Plain text QR codes work for short instructions, coupon codes, or contact notes when you do not need a link.
QR sizing for print and scanning distance
Larger modules scan more reliably from farther away. These print sizes are practical starting points for high-contrast black-on-white codes.
| Printed QR size | Rough scan distance | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| About 1 inch (2.5 cm) | A few inches | Business cards, badges |
| About 2 inches (5 cm) | Up to about 2 feet | Flyers, table tents |
| About 4 inches (10 cm) | Several feet | Posters, window clings |
| About 8 inches (20 cm) | Across a room | Yard signs, event boards |
Keep quiet space around the code, avoid heavy distortion, and test with a phone camera before a large print run.
Example
Entering "https://tinytinytools.com" at medium size renders a 256-pixel QR code that opens this site when scanned.
