Free QR code generator for any content type
A free QR code generator that handles multiple content types is more useful than one that only encodes URLs. This tool supports URL encoding for website links, plain text encoding for any character sequence, email encoding in the mailto: format that opens a pre-addressed email on scan, phone number encoding in the tel: format that opens the dialer on scan, and WiFi credential encoding in the WPA format that connects directly to a network on scan.
Each content type uses a standardized encoding format that all modern QR scanner apps recognize. URL QR codes are created by encoding https:// prefixed links directly. WiFi QR codes use the WIFI:T:WPA;S:[SSID];P:[password];; format that Android and iOS camera apps parse to offer automatic network connection. No watermark, no expiry, and no account are required for any content type.
QR code maker online: size, format, and download
The QR code maker online renders the QR code as an SVG and offers PNG download at a resolution suitable for print. For printed materials such as business cards, posters, and product packaging, the QR code should be printed at a minimum of 2 × 2 centimeters. Larger prints require larger QR codes, at 10 × 10 cm print size, the QR code should be rendered at a minimum of 500 × 500 pixels to maintain scan reliability. Error correction level L (7 percent data recovery) is used for clean digital environments. Higher error correction levels are available for codes that may be physically damaged or partially obscured.
To download the QR code as PNG, click the Download button. The PNG is generated at a resolution that makes it suitable for most print and digital use without resizing. For very large format printing, banners, floor stickers, signage, export at the highest resolution option or use the SVG format, which scales to any size without quality loss. The create QR code for website workflow is: paste URL, generate, verify by scanning with your phone, then download.

The resulting QR code encodes the credentials in the standard WIFI: format. When scanned by Android or iOS camera apps, the device offers to join the network automatically without typing the password.
The minimum recommended print size is 2 × 2 centimeters for materials held at a normal reading distance. Business cards typically use 2.5 × 2.5 cm codes. Posters and signage viewed from further away need larger codes, approximately 10 cm per meter of viewing distance. Always test scan the printed code before mass production. Use the PNG download at the highest resolution option for print to avoid pixelation.
Static QR codes generated by this tool do not expire. The QR code encodes your content directly, so as long as the linked URL remains active, the QR code continues to work indefinitely. Dynamic QR codes offered by some commercial services can expire because they redirect through the service's server. This tool generates static QR codes with no intermediate redirect, which means they have no expiration and no dependency on any third-party service.
