Do my QR codes expire?
▼
No. QR codes created with this tool are static codes that never expire. Once generated and downloaded, they will work forever as long as the encoded content (such as a URL) remains active. There are no scan limits or time restrictions.
Is my data safe when I generate a QR code?
▼
Absolutely. This QR code generator runs entirely in your browser. Your data - whether it is a URL, WiFi password, contact details, or payment information - is never uploaded to any server. Everything is processed locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I add my logo to a QR code for free?
▼
Yes. You can upload your own logo or choose from the built-in icon gallery and embed it in the center of your QR code at no cost. The tool automatically increases error correction to ensure the QR code remains scannable with a logo overlay.
What is the best format to download a QR code for printing?
▼
For printing, download your QR code as a PNG at the highest resolution (2048px) or as a PDF for print-ready output. SVG is ideal if you need a scalable vector format that stays sharp at any size. For web use, PNG or JPG at standard resolution works well.
Can I create a QR code for WiFi so guests can connect instantly?
▼
Yes. Select the WiFi tab, enter your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (WPA/WPA2 or WEP). When someone scans the generated QR code with their phone, they will be connected to your WiFi network automatically without typing the password.
How do I create a QR code for a business card or contact details?
▼
Select the vCard tab and fill in the contact details - first name, last name, phone number, email, organization, job title, website, and address. When scanned, the QR code will prompt the scanner to save the contact directly to their phone.
Can I customize the colors and style of my QR code?
▼
Yes. You can change the foreground color, background color, and eye color independently. Add linear or radial color gradients for a premium look. Choose from four dot styles (square, rounded, dots, diamond) and four eye frame and eye ball shapes to match your brand.
Will a colored or styled QR code still scan properly?
▼
Yes, as long as there is sufficient contrast between the foreground and background colors. Keep the foreground darker than the background for best results. Avoid using very light foreground colors or very similar foreground and background colors.
Can I generate a QR code for UPI payments?
▼
Yes. Select the UPI tab and enter the UPI ID, payee name, and optionally a fixed amount. When scanned with any UPI-enabled payment app, it will pre-fill the payment details for quick transactions.
What types of QR codes can I create?
▼
You can create QR codes for URLs, plain text, WiFi networks, vCard contacts, MeCard contacts, email addresses, SMS messages, phone numbers, geographic locations, calendar events, UPI payments, cryptocurrency wallets, social media profiles, and app store links - 14 types in total.

Tips for Creating Better QR Codes
Keep the content short
Shorter URLs and text produce simpler QR codes with fewer dots, making them easier and faster to scan. Use URL shorteners for long web addresses before generating your QR code.
Maintain high contrast
Always keep the foreground color darker than the background. Black on white gives the best scan rate. Avoid light foreground colors like yellow or light gray - scanners struggle with low contrast.
Test before printing
Always scan your QR code with at least two different phones before sending it to print. Test from various distances and angles to ensure it works reliably in real-world conditions.
Use high resolution for print
Set the resolution slider to 1500px or higher for printed materials. Low-resolution QR codes become blurry when printed on posters, banners, or large signage and may fail to scan.
Add a quiet zone
Leave white space around your QR code when placing it in designs. The quiet zone (empty margin) helps scanners detect the edges of the code. Avoid placing text, borders, or images too close to the QR code.
Keep logos small
If embedding a logo, keep it small relative to the QR code. The tool automatically increases error correction, but a logo that covers too much area can still reduce scan reliability. The default logo size is optimized for best results.
Choose the right format
Use PNG for web and general sharing. Use SVG when you need the QR code to scale to any size without losing quality. Use PDF when sending to a print shop. Use JPG for email attachments where file size matters.
Use WiFi QR codes at venues
Place a WiFi QR code at your reception, lobby, cafe, or event space so visitors can connect instantly by scanning instead of typing long passwords. Print it on a tent card or wall sign.
Use vCard codes for networking
Print a vCard QR code on your business card so new contacts can save your full details with one scan instead of typing your name, phone, email, and company manually.
Try templates first
Start with a design template to get a coordinated color and style combination, then fine-tune individual settings. Templates are a fast way to explore different looks without configuring everything from scratch.
Match your brand colors
Use the color pickers to set your exact brand colors for the foreground and eye corners. A branded QR code builds recognition and looks more professional than a plain black-and-white one.
Size your QR code appropriately
A QR code should be at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) for close-range scanning like business cards, and at least 10 cm (4 inches) for posters or signage scanned from a distance. The general rule is 1 cm of QR code size for every 10 cm of scanning distance.
Supported Logo File Types
| Format | Extensions | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNG | .png | Logos with transparency, icons, and graphics with sharp edges | Recommended for most logos. Transparency is preserved behind the logo. |
| JPG / JPEG | .jpg, .jpeg | Photographic logos, headshots, and full-color images | No transparency support. A white background is added automatically behind the logo. |
| SVG | .svg | Vector logos, brand marks, and icons that need to stay sharp at any size | Rendered at high quality regardless of the original file size. Ideal for crisp logo embedding. |
| WebP | .webp | Modern web-optimized logos and graphics | Supports both transparency and lossy compression. Smaller file sizes than PNG or JPG. |
| GIF | .gif | Simple logos, icons, and graphics with flat colors | Supports transparency. Animated GIFs will use the first frame only. |
| BMP | .bmp | Uncompressed images from older design tools | Large file sizes. Consider converting to PNG for better results. |
In addition to uploading your own logo, you can choose from 32 built-in icons in the logo gallery. Each gallery icon supports independent color customization to match your QR code design.
