Free Online QR Code Generator — Create Custom QR Codes Instantly

QR codes are everywhere — on restaurant menus, business cards, product packaging, event tickets, and even billboards. They provide a fast, scannable bridge between the physical world and digital content. This free QR Code Generator lets you create QR codes for eight different data types: plain text, URLs, WiFi credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, vCard contacts, and GPS locations.

Unlike many online generators, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to a server. The QR code is generated using the open-source qrcode library, and you can customise every aspect: size, foreground and background colours, error correction level, and margin. Six colour presets are included for quick styling, or you can enter custom hex values.

Download your QR code as a PNG image (with an OmniWebKit watermark) or as a clean SVG vector file for print. You can also copy the encoded data string to your clipboard for use in other applications.

Eight QR Code Types Explained

Text

Encode any plain text message. Useful for notes, serial numbers, inventory tags, or short messages that need to be scanned quickly.

URL

Encode a website link. When scanned, the device opens the URL in a browser. Perfect for marketing materials, business cards, and product pages.

WiFi

Encode WiFi network name, password, and security type. Scanning the code connects the device to the network automatically — no typing needed.

Email

Encode an email address with an optional subject line. Scanning opens the default email client with the address pre-filled.

Phone

Encode a phone number. Scanning initiates a call or saves the number to contacts, depending on the device.

SMS

Encode a phone number and an optional pre-written message. Scanning opens the messaging app with the number and message ready to send.

Contact

Encode a vCard with name, phone, email, organisation, and website. Scanning saves the full contact to the phone's address book.

Location

Encode GPS coordinates or an address. Scanning opens the maps app and navigates to the location. Great for event invitations and directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR code generator free?+

Yes, completely free with no account, no watermarks on SVG exports, and no limits on usage.

Is my data sent to a server?+

No. All QR code generation happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

What formats can I download?+

PNG (with OmniWebKit watermark) and SVG (clean vector, perfect for print). SVG files scale to any size without losing quality.

What is error correction?+

Error correction allows the QR code to be read even if partially damaged or obscured. Higher levels (H = 30%) tolerate more damage but create denser codes.

What are the colour presets?+

Six preset colour combinations (Classic, Ocean, Forest, Crimson, Purple, Midnight) for quick styling. You can also enter custom hex colours.

Can I create WiFi QR codes?+

Yes. Enter your network name, password, and security type. Scanning the code connects the device to WiFi automatically.

What is a vCard QR code?+

A vCard QR code encodes contact information (name, phone, email, etc.). Scanning it saves the contact directly to the phone's address book.

Do QR codes expire?+

No. QR codes are static data — they do not expire. The code contains the data itself, not a link that can be deactivated.
