QR Code Generator: Create Free QR Codes for URLs, WiFi & More

QR codes have become ubiquitous in modern life. From restaurant menus and event tickets to WiFi login sharing and marketing campaigns, these square barcodes bridge the physical and digital worlds. A QR Code Generatorlets you create custom QR codes for any purpose — URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, WiFi credentials, and SMS messages — in seconds.

Unlike traditional barcodes that store information horizontally, QR codes store data both horizontally and vertically, allowing them to hold significantly more information. They can be scanned by any smartphone camera without requiring a special app, making them accessible to virtually everyone.

Our QR code generator supports six content types: URLs for directing users to websites, plain text for messages, email with pre-filled subject and body, phone numbers for instant dialing, WiFi credentials for one-tap network connection, and SMS with pre-written messages. Each QR code can be downloaded as a high-quality PNG image.

How to Use the QR Code Generator

Creating a QR code with the QR Code Generator takes just three steps:

1. Select the content type — URL, Text, Email, Phone, WiFi, or SMS.
2. Fill in the fields based on your selected type (e.g., enter the URL for a website or the network name and password for WiFi).
3. Click Generate and download your QR code as a PNG image for printing, sharing, or embedding.

All generation happens locally in your browser. Your data — including WiFi passwords — never reaches any server.

FAQ

Q: Can I scan QR codes with my phone without installing an app?
A: Yes. Most modern smartphones (iPhone and Android) have built-in QR code scanning in the default camera app. Just point your camera at the code and tap the notification that appears.

Q: Is it safe to generate a WiFi QR code with my network password?
A: Yes, because the generation happens entirely in your browser. The password is not sent to any server. However, be careful about who you share the QR code with, as anyone who scans it can connect to your network.

A: The QR codes are downloaded as PNG files, which work universally across all devices and platforms for printing, embedding in documents, or sharing digitally.
