Create custom QR codes — free

No. Every QR code here is static — the data (your URL, text, WiFi or UPI details) is encoded directly into the code itself, so there is no server, account or subscription to keep it alive. It works permanently and never expires, unlike "dynamic" QR codes from paid services that redirect through a link and stop scanning once you cancel the plan. The trade-off: because the data is baked in, you cannot edit the destination after printing.

Yes. Generating and downloading QR codes is completely free with no account required and no watermark on the image. Codes are created right in your browser, so your data is not uploaded anywhere. Download as PNG for screens or SVG for sharp printing on flyers, menus and packaging.

Enter a URL, text, phone number, or email and generate a QR instantly. You can resize the code, change colors, and download as PNG or SVG. SVG scales sharply for print on flyers, menus, and packaging, while PNG works well for screens and social media.

For most phones, a minimum of around 2 cm for print and sufficient contrast works well. Use a dark code on a light background, avoid busy patterns behind it, and leave quiet zone margins. Our QR generator lets you adjust size and colors for reliable scanning.

Yes. Pick high-contrast colors and test scanning at different sizes and distances. Subtle brand hues can look great if contrast is preserved. The built-in preview helps you validate readability before exporting for signage, packaging, event passes, or brochures.

Use SVG for print because it is vector-based and scales without quality loss. Use PNG for screens and common drag-and-drop use. Our QR code maker provides both formats so you can deploy codes across websites, slides, posters, and product labels with confidence.

Yes. Codes are generated in your browser, we don't store your data, and downloads have no watermark. You can safely create QR codes for menus, Wi‑Fi credentials, link trees, and promotions knowing your content remains private and instantly deployable.

Pick the QR type (URL, Wi‑Fi, vCard, UPI, menu or plain text), enter your content, then customise the colours and drop in a logo if you want. The QR code is created live as you type — hit Download to save a high‑resolution PNG or SVG. It is free, needs no signup and never expires.

Yes. Pick the type tab — Wi-Fi, Contact, Email, SMS, Phone or Location — and fill the form. We build the exact payload scanners expect (e.g. the WIFI: format that joins a network on scan, or a vCard 3.0 that saves straight to contacts). URL, plain text and UPI payments are supported too.

Yes. Use Download SVG for a crisp, infinitely scalable vector (ideal for print and large signage). You can also turn off the small Pixoate label with the checkbox for a completely branding-free QR in PNG or SVG.

Error correction adds redundant data so a scanner can still read the code even if part of it is dirty, scratched or covered — L recovers about 7%, M 15%, Q 25% and H 30%. Use M for everyday links and text, and step up to Q or H if the code will be printed small, handled a lot, or has a logo covering part of it.

Upload an image in the Logo field under Style settings and it's automatically composited above the generated code. Because the logo covers part of the code's data cells, raise Error Correction to H (30%) first so scanners can still reconstruct the covered area and the code keeps scanning reliably.

Drag the Size slider between 128px and 512px in 32px steps — larger sizes stay sharp on posters and signage, smaller ones keep the PNG lightweight for web use. If you need an even bigger print size, download the SVG instead, which scales to any dimension with zero quality loss regardless of the slider.

Set Error Correction to H (30%) before adding your logo so the missing data under it can still be recovered, keep foreground/background colors high-contrast, and size the code to at least 384px if it will be printed. Always test-scan the result with your own phone before publishing it.

Switch the type selector to UPI Payment, then pick a Payment Address Type — UPI ID / VPA, Bank Account Number (with the required IFSC Code), Aadhaar Number, or Mobile Number — and enter that address. Add an Amount to pre-fill the payment value, plus an optional Recipient Name and Note, and the QR encodes a standard upi://pay link any UPI app can scan and pay instantly. Leave Amount blank if you want the payer to enter their own amount.

This is the Encryption field inside the Wi-Fi type, and it must match your router's actual security setting or phones will read the code but fail to connect. Pick WPA for the vast majority of modern home and office routers (covers WPA/WPA2/WPA3), WEP only for old legacy hardware, and 'No password' for a fully open network such as a public cafe hotspot. When unsure, check your router's admin page or the security type shown when you connect manually.

Yes — with the Text/URL type selected, use the quick-fill preset buttons below the textarea: Website URL, Phone Number, Email, WiFi Network and Plain Text each drop in a ready-made sample value so a working QR code appears instantly and you can try the colour, logo and size controls right away. Replace the sample text with your own content whenever you're ready to generate the real code.

Yes — once a code is generated, the 'Continue in Photo Editor' button on the download panel sends that exact QR PNG straight into Pixoate's photo/design editor without re-uploading it, so you can drop it onto a poster, flyer or social template and add text or graphics around it in the same session.

Choose the Website URL preset, paste your link, and the QR code appears live in the preview — then download it as PNG or SVG. The link is encoded directly into the pattern (a static code), so it keeps working forever with no account or renewal. A shortened link produces a less dense, easier-to-scan code than a very long URL.
