QR Code Generator

QR Code Generator makes QR codes from any text or link — and can also scan QR codes back out of images you upload. One tool for both directions.

When to use it

Creating QR codes for: your Wi-Fi password (guests scan instead of typing), a link to your website on a business card or flyer, a menu URL on a table tent, payment links, event check-ins, or app download pages. The scanner side reads QR codes from screenshots and photos when you can't scan with your phone camera.

How to use it

  1. Open QR Code Generator.
  2. To create: paste your URL or type your text, then download the QR code PNG.
  3. To scan: upload an image containing a QR code, and the tool reads out what it contains.
  4. Each generated or scanned code = one document of quota.

What the output looks like

A standard black-and-white QR code PNG, downloadable and print-ready. Scanning it with any phone camera opens the link or shows the text.

Good to know

  • Short URLs scan more reliably than very long ones — dense QR codes are harder for cameras to read. Use a link shortener for long addresses.
  • Test-scan every QR code with your own phone before printing hundreds of flyers.
  • Print QR codes at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) square. Tiny QR codes on business cards often fail.
  • Wi-Fi QR codes use a special format — the tool encodes it so guests join the network without typing the password.
  • Never scan QR codes from untrusted sources blindly — preview the URL first. Malicious QR codes can lead to phishing sites.
