Which QR code content types are supported?

You can create QR codes for URLs, plain text, Wi-Fi networks, vCards, email, phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp messages, geographic locations, calendar events, and UPI payments. Each builder creates the appropriate interoperable URI or data format.

Can I add a logo without making the code unreadable?

Yes. Upload a local PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo, keep it around 15–20% of the QR size, and use High error correction. The generator clears modules behind the logo, but you should always test the downloaded code on more than one device before publishing.

Why does the QR code need a quiet zone?

The empty margin around a QR code helps scanners distinguish it from surrounding artwork. Four modules is the specification-friendly default. Reducing it may look attractive but can make printed codes harder to scan.

Should I download PNG, WebP, or SVG?

Use PNG for broad compatibility, WebP for compact digital assets, and SVG for print or design software because it scales without becoming blurry.

Is my QR data uploaded?

No. Payload creation, logo processing, rendering, copying, and downloads happen locally in your browser. The optional native Share button hands the generated image to your operating system only when you choose it.

Print checklist: keep a 4-module quiet zone, avoid stretching, print at least 2 cm wide, and test on iOS and Android at the intended viewing distance.

Modern QR codes that remain easy to scan

Choose a content template instead of manually assembling special URI formats. The generator creates standards-based email, SMS, phone, location, calendar, contact, Wi-Fi, WhatsApp, and UPI payloads, then renders them entirely on this device.

Design for reliability first

Strong contrast and a four-module quiet zone matter more than decoration. Logos work best with High error correction and excavation enabled. A QR preview is not proof of scanability, so test the final downloaded asset at its real print size and on multiple phones.

Use the right export

PNG is the safest general-purpose choice, WebP is compact for modern websites, and SVG is the best option for professional print and design workflows. Transparent backgrounds can be useful in artwork, but verify that the final surface still provides strong contrast.

The Complete Guide

About the QR Code Generator

QR codes have moved from niche industrial barcodes to mainstream marketing tools. They appear on restaurant menus, business cards, packaging, payment terminals, and even billboards. A well-designed QR code can take a user from the physical world to your website, WiFi network, or Venmo account in under two seconds.

Our QR Code Generator creates interoperable payloads for websites, text, Wi-Fi, vCards, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, map coordinates, calendar events, and UPI payments. You control size, quiet zone, colors, error correction, automatic correction boosting, and an optional center logo.

Everything happens in your browser. Your content and uploaded logo are not sent to our servers — important when you are encoding Wi-Fi passwords, payment details, or internal links.

How to use QR Code Generator

Choose a content type

Pick Website, Text, Wi-Fi, Contact, Email, Phone, SMS, WhatsApp, Location, Event, or UPI. Complete the labeled fields and the tool builds the payload safely for you.

Pick a size

For print, choose 512×512 or higher. For digital use (social posts, emails), 256×256 is plenty. Larger codes scan from farther away.

Choose error correction

L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), or H (30%). Higher correction means the code remains scannable even if partially obscured or printed on a curved surface — but the code becomes denser. Use H for codes that include a center logo.

Customize without sacrificing scans

Keep the four-module quiet zone, use a dark foreground on a light background, and select High correction when adding a center logo. Always test the finished asset on multiple phones.

Download, copy, or share

Export PNG for broad compatibility, WebP for compact modern assets, or SVG for scale-independent print. Supported browsers can also copy the image or open the native share sheet.
