Questions

How do I create a QR code for a URL?
Paste your URL into the input field and a QR code is generated instantly. You can then download it as a PNG image to use in print materials, presentations, or web pages.
What is the maximum amount of data a QR code can hold?
A single QR code can store up to about 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 2,953 bytes of binary data. For best scanning reliability, keep your content short, as denser codes require higher print resolution and closer scanning distance.
Is the QR code generator free and does it work offline?
Yes, the QR code generator is completely free and runs entirely in your browser. Once the page is loaded, it works without an internet connection since no server-side processing is involved.
Can I generate a QR code for Wi-Fi credentials?
You can paste a Wi-Fi network string in the format WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;; into the input field, and the generated QR code will let phones connect automatically when scanned.
What size should I print a QR code for reliable scanning?
A general rule is that the QR code should be at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide for close-range scanning. For posters or signs viewed from a distance, scale up proportionally so each module is at least 1-2 mm wide.
