Create trustworthy QR codes for any channel

Whether you're shipping conference signage, packaging inserts, or onboarding kiosks, reliable QR codes should be fast to generate and easy to customize. This generator keeps everything in-browser, so sensitive URLs or Wi-Fi passwords never pass through a third-party API.

Design with intent

Start with a destination: URLs, SMS, plain text, email templates, and Wi-Fi payloads are all supported. Switch between error-correction levels to balance scannability with visual density, then dial in foreground/background colors that match your brand.

Preview modes simulate light and dark surfaces so you can be confident the code remains readable under different lighting conditions. Add quiet-zone padding or drop a logo in the center without compromising contrast.

Vector & raster exports
Download crisp SVG files for print workflows or optimized PNGs for slide decks and emails.
Branded palettes
Reuse HEX codes from the Color Converter to stay compliant with your design system.

Deploy with confidence

Because the generator works offline, you can produce codes on secure networks or while traveling. Every change updates instantly, making it easy to iterate alongside stakeholders during reviews.

Attach metadata such as campaign names or internal ticket IDs so teammates understand where each code should live. When paired with FreeTools.run encoders, you can even obfuscate payloads before embedding them in public signage.

Version history
Save multiple variants per campaign so you can roll back quickly if a destination changes.
Accessibility tips
Add human-readable fallbacks under each code to aid users whose devices struggle with scanning.

Go-to scenarios

Product packaging

Link to manuals, warranty registration, or localized landing pages without printing long links.

Events & check-ins

Generate attendee and speaker resources in seconds, then refresh them between sessions.

Remote support

Share troubleshooting steps that launch on-device diagnostics or deeplink into native apps.

Offer guest Wi-Fi credentials or HR resources in hallways without exposing raw passwords on screens.

Next step

Encode payloads before sharing them

Run sensitive text through the Base64 Encoder to make sure browsers handle special characters correctly before you freeze the QR code artwork.

Frequently asked questions

What is a QR Code?

A QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by smartphones and other devices. It can store various types of data, such as URLs, text, contact information, or Wi-Fi credentials.

Do these QR codes expire?

No. The QR codes generated here are static, meaning the data is encoded directly into the image pattern. They will work forever and do not depend on any external service.

Can I customize the design?

Yes. You can customize the foreground and background colors, adjust the size, and choose the error correction level to ensure your QR code fits your branding.

Is it free for commercial use?

Yes. You can use the QR codes generated by this tool for any purpose, including commercial projects, without any attribution or fees.
