Is this tool free?
Yes, generating QR codes is completely free.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I encode in a QR code?
QR codes can encode plain text, URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, Wi-Fi credentials, vCard contact info, and more. For a URL, the scanner opens the link automatically. For plain text, it displays the text on screen. The QR content is limited to roughly 3,000 characters for high error correction.
What is the error correction level?
Error correction lets a QR code be partially damaged or obscured and still scan correctly. L recovers 7% damage (smallest code, most data capacity), M recovers 15%, Q recovers 25%, and H recovers 30% (largest code, most resilient). Use H if you plan to print on a surface that might get dirty or wear — like a shop window or outdoor sign.
What size should I choose?
For digital use (websites, messages), 250×250 or 300×300 is fine. For print, choose 400×400 or 500×500 for better sharpness when scaled up. When in doubt, bigger is better — a QR code can always be scaled down cleanly, but scaling up a small one blurs the modules.
Can I use custom colors?
Yes — you can pick any foreground and background color. Make sure the dark/light contrast ratio is sufficient for scanners to read the code. Avoid light foreground on light background or dark on dark. Test by scanning the preview with your phone before printing.
