FAQ
What can this QR code generator do?
It encodes a link, plain text, email, phone number, or SMS message into a QR code that scans cleanly with any modern phone camera. You can customize the visual style with foreground and background colors, an optional gradient, square or rounded module shapes, custom corner shapes, an embedded logo overlay, and a chosen error-correction level. The result downloads as PNG (raster) or SVG (vector). For three specific use cases — WiFi networks, contact cards, and restaurant menus — there are dedicated tools linked at the top of this page that skip the styling controls and go straight to a printable label, contact card, or menu sign.
FAQ
How is this different from the WiFi, vCard, and menu QR tools?
This page is the general-purpose tool. It supports the five most common content types (URL, text, email, phone, SMS) and gives you the full styling surface — colors, gradients, dot and corner shapes, logo overlay, error correction picker, gradient rotation, and so on. The dedicated tools (/wifi-qr-code-generator, /vcard-qr-code-generator, /menu-qr-code-generator) take the opposite approach: they lock to one content type, hide all the styling controls, and lead with a print-ready output card designed for a specific real-world use (a WiFi label on a fridge, a contact card on a business card, a menu sign on a table). If you want full customization, use this page. If you want the fastest path to a printable label for one of those three specific use cases, use the dedicated tool.
FAQ
Will the generated QR code work on phones?
Yes. Modern smartphones — anything iOS 11+ or Android 9+ — can scan standard QR codes directly with the built-in camera app or a system QR scanner. The QR codes from this page use the standard QR specification, so they work with every reasonable scanner and don't require any app on the user's side. If you add a logo overlay or use very low contrast colors, scan reliability can drop — the live preview includes a contrast warning to help you avoid that.
FAQ
Can I customize the style of the QR code?
Yes. You can adjust the foreground and background colors, apply a linear or radial gradient, pick from six module styles (square, dots, rounded, extra-rounded, classy, classy-rounded), pick a corner-square and corner-dot shape, set the error correction level (L/M/Q/H), upload a logo image to embed in the center, and choose whether the QR clears its background dots behind the logo for a cleaner look. The live preview updates as you change each setting. Keep in mind that aggressive styling (very low contrast, very large logo overlay, very rounded modules) can hurt scan reliability — pick error correction Q or H if you're embedding a logo so the QR can still be read.
FAQ
Can I download the QR code after creating it?
Yes. The download row gives you both PNG (raster, 1024×1024 by default — plenty for both digital and print use) and SVG (vector, infinitely scalable, the right choice for professional print or any use that may be resized later). There's also a PDF export that places the QR centered on an A4 page if you want a quick print-to-paper artifact without opening another tool.
