// About this tool

QR Code Generator

This QR code generator encodes any text or URL into a scannable QR code entirely in your browser. Paste a link, Wi-Fi config, or plain text, pick an output size and error-correction level, and download the result as a PNG.

Higher error-correction levels let a code survive damage, dirt, or partial obstruction, at the cost of a denser code. The QR spec supports four levels — Low, Medium, Quartile, and High — trading roughly 7% to 30% of the area for recovery capacity.

Everything runs locally. There is no server, so nothing you encode is transmitted, stored, or logged — which also means the tool works fully offline.

// When to use it

  • Link a printed flyer or business card

    Encode a URL into a QR code, download the PNG, and add it to a print layout so people can scan straight to the page.

  • Share a Wi-Fi network

    Encode a WIFI:S:<ssid>;T:WPA;P:<password>;; string so a phone can join the network with a scan instead of typing the password.

  • Test error-correction robustness

    Generate a code at High error correction and cover part of it — it should still scan thanks to the redundancy.

// Questions

Is the content I encode sent to a server?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser using the qrcode library. Nothing is uploaded, and the tool works offline.

What error-correction level should I use?

Medium (M) is a good default. Use High (H) when the code will be printed on something that may get dirty or partially covered, and Low (L) when you want the smallest, simplest code possible.

Can I change the color?

The generated code matches the site's light/dark theme automatically. For brand-colored codes you can download the PNG and recolor it in an image editor — scanners need strong contrast between modules and the background.

What formats can I download?

PNG. The generator outputs a high-resolution PNG you can drop straight into print or digital layouts.
