How It Works

  1. Choose Content Type

    Select what type of content you want to encode: URL, plain text, email, phone number, SMS, WiFi credentials, or vCard contact information. Different types optimize the QR code format for best compatibility.

  2. Enter Your Data

    Input the content you want to encode in the QR code. For URLs, include the full address (https://). For WiFi, enter network name and password. For vCards, fill in contact details like name, email, and phone.

  3. Customize Appearance

    Choose custom colors for your QR code to match your branding. Select the foreground (dark) and background (light) colors, ensuring sufficient contrast for reliable scanning. Adjust the size based on your use case.

  4. Set Error Correction

    Select an error correction level based on where the QR code will be used. Low for digital screens, Medium for indoor prints, Quartile for outdoor use, and High if you plan to add a logo overlay.

  5. Generate and Download

    Click generate to create your QR code, then download it as PNG or SVG format. PNG works for most uses, while SVG provides vector graphics that scale perfectly for print materials of any size.

Tips & Tricks

Test Before Printing

Always test your QR code with multiple devices and QR code readers before mass printing. Scan it from different distances and angles to ensure reliability across various smartphone cameras.

Ensure Proper Contrast

Use dark colors for the QR code itself and light backgrounds for best scanning. While you can use brand colors, avoid low-contrast combinations like yellow on white or dark blue on black.

Size for Distance

The scanning distance is approximately 10 times the QR code size. A 2cm QR code can be scanned from 20cm away. For posters viewed from afar, use larger QR codes (10cm or more).

Use URL Shorteners

For long URLs, use a URL shortener first. Shorter URLs create simpler QR codes with fewer dots, making them easier to scan and more reliable, especially at smaller sizes.

Include Call-to-Action Text

When using QR codes in marketing, add text like 'Scan for 10% off' or 'Scan to visit website.' This increases scan rates by clearly communicating the benefit of scanning.

Choose the Right Format

Use PNG for digital use and most printing needs. Choose SVG for professional printing, large formats like banners, or when you need to resize the code multiple times without quality loss.
