Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between QR codes and barcodes?

QR codes are two-dimensional and can store much more data - URLs, text, contact cards, Wi-Fi, and so on. Barcodes are one-dimensional and typically store short numeric or alphanumeric data used in retail and logistics.

Which barcode type should I use?

Code 128 is the most common general-purpose barcode. EAN-13 and EAN-8 are used for retail products. ISBN is for books. ITF-14 is for shipping cartons. MSI Plessey is used in warehousing. Pick the one your system or industry requires.

Can I add a logo in the middle of my QR code?

Yes, you can embed a logo in the centre of a QR code. Make sure to use higher error-correction so the code still scans even with the logo in the middle.

Will my custom-colour QR still scan correctly?

Yes, as long as there is enough contrast between the foreground and background colours. Avoid combinations like yellow on white or red on dark blue. Black on white is the safest bet.

What size should I download my code at?

For digital use, 280-400 pixels works for most websites. For print, choose PDF format and your final code will scale cleanly to any size without losing quality.

Can I encode a Wi-Fi network in a QR code?

Yes. Wi-Fi QR codes let anyone with a modern phone join your network by scanning the code - no typing the password manually.

Are my generated codes kept private?

Yes. All code generation happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so your URLs, contact details, and other data never leave your device.

Is this QR and barcode generator really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no hidden charges - unlimited generations.

Can I use these codes commercially?

Yes. QR codes are an open standard with no licensing fees, and barcode formats like Code 128, EAN, and ISBN are also free to use commercially.
