QR Code Generator for URLs, Text and Wi-Fi (No Sign-Up)
Updated · Free · No sign-up · Runs in your browser
Type a web address, a short text or your Wi-Fi details and the QR code appears instantly. Download it as PNG for messages and documents, or as SVG to print at any size.
There is no account, watermark or expiry date: the content is written directly into the pattern (a "static" QR code), so it keeps working as long as the link or network it points to does. What you type is not sent to a server.
Built with open-source QR Code generator library (Project Nayuki) (licenses).
Error correction levels
Higher levels survive more damage but make the code denser. A short web address uses a 25×25 grid at L and 29×29 at H.
| Level | Can recover | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| L | about 7% | Screens and clean prints with a lot of content |
| M (default) | about 15% | Most uses: menus, flyers, documents |
| Q | about 25% | Stickers, outdoor signs, things that get scratched |
| H | about 30% | Rough surfaces or when part of the code may be covered |
Worked examples
Restaurant menu link
- Type example.com/menu
- https:// is added for you
→ download SVG and print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide
Guest Wi-Fi
- Name Cafe_Guest, password coffee2027, WPA
→ the code contains WIFI:T:WPA;S:Cafe_Guest;P:coffee2027;;
Network name with a semicolon
- Name Joe;s Cafe, no password
→ special characters are escaped: WIFI:T:nopass;S:Joe\;s Cafe;;
Event note
- Text: Doors open 6 PM, Hall B
→ phones show the text; no internet is needed to read it
How to make a QR code
- Choose Website (URL), Text or Wi-Fi.
- Type the address or text, or the network name, password and security type.
- Scan the preview with your phone camera to check that it opens what you expect.
- Optionally change the color, error correction or caption, then download PNG or SVG.
Wi-Fi QR codes
Most recent iPhone and Android camera apps offer to join the network when they scan a Wi-Fi QR code. The code uses the common WIFI: format with the network name, security type and password.
The password is written inside the code as plain text, so anyone who scans it can read it. For a shop or office, use a separate guest network, and make a new code when you change the password.
Printing tips
- Keep the white margin around the code; cropping it often makes scanning fail.
- Use a dark code on a light background. Light colors and inverted (white-on-dark) codes are not read by many phones.
- Use SVG for large prints and design software — it stays sharp at any size.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static codes: the link or text is stored in the pattern itself, not on our server. A code only stops working if the website it points to changes or goes offline.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free with no account, watermark or logo. Download as many PNG and SVG files as you need.
How do I make a QR code for Wi-Fi?
Choose Wi-Fi, enter the network name exactly (upper and lower case matter), the password and the security type (usually WPA/WPA2/WPA3), then download the code.
PNG or SVG — which should I download?
PNG for messages, slides and documents. SVG for large prints or design tools, because it is a vector file that stays sharp at any size. The caption is added to the PNG only.
Can I change a QR code after printing it?
Not a static code. If the address might change, point the code to a page you control and update that page instead.
Is what I type stored or sent anywhere?
No. The code is generated in this browser. Addresses, text and Wi-Fi passwords are not saved or sent to a server.
