Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a QR code for free?

Type or paste a link or text in the box above, adjust the colours and size if you like, and download the code as a JPG or PDF. It's free, needs no sign-up and adds no watermark.

Do the QR codes expire?

No. These are static QR codes: the link or text is stored inside the code itself, not on our servers, so they never expire and keep working as long as the destination exists. The flip side is that a printed code can't be redirected later, so double-check the link before printing.

How do I make a QR code for a link?

Paste the full web address, including https://, generate and download. Scanning it with a phone camera opens that page.

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Yes. Upload your logo, crop and zoom it into place, and it appears in the middle of the code. Error correction is raised automatically so the code still scans with the logo on top.

Can I change the colours and style?

Yes. Pick a colour theme or your own colours, choose square, rounded or dot modules and set the size. Keep a dark code on a light background with strong contrast so every phone can scan it.

What does error correction mean?

It's how much of the code can be damaged or covered and still scan: Low 7%, Medium 15%, High 25% or Max 30%. Higher levels make the code denser but tougher, which helps on printed labels and with a logo.

How do I make a barcode for a product?

Choose the barcode type, such as EAN-13, UPC-A or Code 128, enter the number and download. To sell through retailers you need official product numbers, usually from GS1; this tool draws the barcode for the number you enter.

Which barcode type should I use?

EAN-13 and UPC-A are used on retail products, ISBN on books, ITF-14 on shipping cartons, and Code 128 or Code 39 for letters and numbers on labels and inventory. Codabar, MSI Plessey and Pharmacode cover libraries, shelves and pharmaceutical packaging.

How do I make a Wi-Fi QR code?

Type the text WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;; with your network name and password, and generate. Most phone cameras offer to join the network when they scan it.

How do I make a QR code for a WhatsApp chat or a Google Maps location?

Use a link: for WhatsApp, https://wa.me/ followed by the phone number with country code; for a place, the share link from Google Maps. Paste it and generate.

How do I make a QR code for a PDF?

Put the PDF somewhere permanent online, such as Google Drive with link sharing on, and turn that link into a QR code. Our own share links expire after 35 minutes, so they're not suited for printed codes.

Can I make a payment QR code?

Payment codes such as UPI, Pix or bank QR codes use special formats issued by your bank or payment app, so create them there. A QR code made from a plain account number won't work as a payment code.

How do I put a QR code in Word or Canva?

Download it as JPG and insert it as a picture, or download the PDF for print. Keep a quiet margin around the code so it scans reliably.

Is my data private?

Yes. Codes are generated in your browser and work even offline; what you type isn't sent to us. Only if you choose to share a link or save to Google Drive is the image uploaded.
