Free QR Code Generator

A QR code generator turns a link or text into a scannable square image. Ours is free, requires no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser.

How to create a QR code

  1. Open the free QR code generator.
  2. Paste a URL or type any text into the box.
  3. Tap Generate.
  4. Scan the preview with your phone to check it, then tap Download SVG.

What can you encode?

Any link (website, video, social profile) or any plain text. For structured uses, encode a Wi-Fi string, a vCard, or an event — our guide to what QR codes are covers the formats. Specific walkthroughs live in our Wi-Fi and vCard guides.

Tips for a scannable code

  • Keep high contrast: dark modules on a light background.
  • Leave a quiet (blank) margin around the code when printing.
  • Test with more than one phone before mass printing.
  • Prefer SVG so the code never turns pixelated when scaled up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes. You can generate and download unlimited static QR codes with no account and no payment. There is no watermark and no usage limit.

What file format do I get?

Codes are exported as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). SVG stays sharp at any size, so it prints cleanly on a business card or a billboard.

Can I use these QR codes commercially?

Yes. Because they are static codes you create yourself, you can use them on products, packaging, menus, posters, and business materials.

Do you store the data I enter?

No. The code is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, so your links and text stay private.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

A static code holds the data directly and is free and permanent. A dynamic code points to a redirect you can edit later and track, but it usually requires a paid subscription.
