Tips for Creating Effective QR Codes

Test Before Printing

Always scan your QR code with multiple devices before printing. Test with both iOS and Android phones to ensure compatibility across platforms.

Use High Contrast Colors

Dark foreground on light background works best. Avoid using similar colors for foreground and background, as this reduces scanner readability.

Keep Data Short

Shorter data creates simpler, more easily scannable QR codes. Use URL shorteners for long URLs and keep text content concise.

Size Matters

Print QR codes at a minimum of 2cm x 2cm (about 0.8in). For scanning from a distance, increase the size proportionally — roughly 10:1 distance-to-size ratio.

Use H Level with Logos

When adding a logo overlay, always set error correction to H (High). This ensures the QR code remains scannable even with the center partially obscured.

Add a Call-to-Action

Place text near your QR code like "Scan to connect" or "Scan for menu." People are more likely to scan when they know what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of QR codes can I create?

You can create QR codes for URLs/websites, plain text, email addresses (with subject and body), phone numbers, SMS messages, Wi-Fi network credentials, and vCard contact information. Each type automatically formats the data so it works correctly when scanned.

Does the QR code update in real-time?

Yes! Our QR code generator features real-time preview. The QR code updates automatically as you type or change any setting, so you can see exactly what your QR code will look like before downloading.

Can I customize the QR code colors and style?

Absolutely! You can customize the foreground (dot) color, background color, dot style (square, rounded, or circular dots), QR code size, margin, and error correction level. You can also add a logo or image in the center of your QR code.

What are QR code error correction levels?

QR codes have four error correction levels: L (Low, ~7% recovery), M (Medium, ~15% recovery), Q (Quartile, ~25% recovery), and H (High, ~30% recovery). Higher error correction makes the QR code more reliable but also larger. Use H level when adding a logo overlay.

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Yes! You can upload a logo or image that will be placed in the center of your QR code. When using a logo, we recommend setting the error correction level to H (High) to ensure the QR code remains scannable even with part of it covered by the logo.

Is this QR code generator free?

Yes! Our QR code generator is completely free with no registration, watermarks, or usage limits. All QR code generation happens in your browser, so your data stays private and is never sent to any server.

Can I generate multiple QR codes at once?

Yes! Use the Bulk tab to generate up to 50 QR codes at once. Enter each value on a separate line and click Generate. All QR codes use the same style settings and can be downloaded individually.

How do I create a Wi-Fi QR code?

Select "Wi-Fi Network" as the content type, then enter your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (WPA/WPA2, WEP, or None). The generated QR code will allow anyone who scans it to automatically connect to your Wi-Fi network.
