What can you create with a QR code?
QR codes can store many types of data. Smartphones scan them instantly with the camera app — no separate QR reader needed. Here's what each type does:
| Type | What it does | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| URL | Opens a website link instantly | Business cards, posters, packaging, menus |
| WiFi | Connects to WiFi without typing password | Offices, hotels, cafés, Airbnb |
| Opens a WhatsApp chat instantly | Business contacts, customer support | |
| Opens an email draft pre-filled | Contact forms, feedback requests | |
| Phone | Dials a number with one tap | Business cards, flyers |
| SMS | Opens a pre-filled text message | SMS campaigns, opt-in marketing |
| vCard | Saves contact info to phone | Business cards, networking events |
| Text | Displays plain text when scanned | Instructions, codes, serial numbers |
How to use QR codes effectively
For businesses and restaurants
Replace printed menus with a QR code linking to your online menu. Update prices without reprinting. Hotels use QR codes on room cards to link to WiFi credentials, local guides, and room service menus — saving thousands on printing costs.
For marketing and advertising
Add a QR code to print ads, billboards, and packaging that links to your website, product page, or special offer. Track scan analytics by using a shortened URL (like bit.ly) as the QR destination.
For personal use
Create a QR code for your personal WiFi and frame it near your router — guests scan it instead of asking for the password. Or create a QR code for your WhatsApp to add to your business card.
Pro tip: Always test your QR code by scanning it before printing. Print at least 2cm × 2cm in size. Keep the white border (quiet zone) around the code — removing it stops the code from scanning correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Enter your URL, text, or other content in the generator above. Your QR code is created instantly in your browser — no server, no sign-up, no watermark. Click Download PNG to save it at full resolution.
Static QR codes like the ones generated here never expire. They permanently encode the data you entered and will scan correctly forever — as long as the URL or content they point to still exists.
Minimum 2cm × 2cm (0.8 inches) for close-up scanning. For posters and banners viewed from a distance, use at least 10cm × 10cm. Use the "Print" size option in our generator for highest resolution output.
Yes — use the logo upload option. QR codes have built-in error correction (up to 30% of the code can be obscured and still scan). Keep your logo to no more than 20–25% of the QR code area for reliable scanning.
Select the "WiFi" tab, enter your network name (SSID), password, and security type (WPA2 is most common). The generated QR code will connect any Android or iPhone directly to your WiFi when scanned — no password typing needed.
