QR Code Generator: The Complete Guide

QR codes bridge the physical and digital worlds — linking print materials, packaging, and signage directly to websites, contact info, WiFi credentials, and more. Our free QR Code Generator creates high-quality codes you can download as PNG or SVG instantly.

What Can You Encode in a QR Code?

• **URLs** — Link to any website or landing page
• **Plain Text** — Display any message when scanned
• **Email** — Pre-fill recipient, subject, and body
• **Phone Number** — Dial directly from a scan
• **WiFi** — Share network credentials without typing
• **vCard** — Share contact information

PNG vs SVG: Which Format to Choose?

• **PNG** — Best for digital use, social media, and presentations
• **SVG** — Best for print, signage, and large-format use (scales infinitely without pixelation)

Error Correction Levels

QR codes include built-in error correction so they remain scannable even if partially damaged:

• **L (Low)** — 7% damage tolerance. Smallest code size
• **M (Medium)** — 15% tolerance. Good for most uses
• **Q (Quartile)** — 25% tolerance. Recommended for print
• **H (High)** — 30% tolerance. Best for harsh environments
