Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code for my website?
Paste your website URL into the box above and a QR code is generated instantly. Click Download PNG to save it. You can then add it to business cards, flyers, menus or any printed material. Anyone who scans it with a smartphone camera will be taken directly to your website.
What can I put in a QR code?
Any text — website URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, plain text messages, Wi-Fi passwords, event details or physical addresses. Most smartphones can scan QR codes containing URLs, emails (mailto:), phone numbers (tel:), and plain text natively with the camera app.
What size QR code do I need for print?
For business cards use at least 256px. For A5 or A4 flyers use 512px. The minimum printable size for reliable scanning is around 2cm x 2cm. Higher error correction (Q or H) makes the QR code more reliable when printed at small sizes or if the surface is slightly damaged.
What is error correction in a QR code?
Error correction determines how much of the QR code can be damaged or obscured while still being scannable. Low (L) = 7% recovery, Medium (M) = 15%, Quartile (Q) = 25%, High (H) = 30%. Use High for QR codes that will be printed on textured surfaces or used outdoors.
Are QR codes free to create and use?
Yes — this QR code generator is completely free with no sign up required. Unlike many QR code services, there is no expiry date on QR codes created here and no tracking of scans. The QR code is yours to use however you like.
Can I create a QR code for WhatsApp, Instagram or TikTok?
Yes — paste any URL including social media profile links, WhatsApp chat links (wa.me/yournumber), Instagram profiles or TikTok pages. The QR code will open the link directly when scanned. Useful for business cards and printed promotional material.
