About QR Code Generator

QR codes (Quick Response codes) are two-dimensional barcodes that can store text, URLs, contact information, and other data types. A smartphone camera scan takes just seconds to open a webpage or retrieve stored information. QR codes have become the most common bridge between the physical world and digital content — widely used on restaurant menus, business cards, event posters, and product packaging worldwide.

This tool generates QR codes instantly in the browser. Enter any text or URL to get a downloadable PNG image immediately — no account or app installation required.

What Can a QR Code Store?

• URLs: The most common use — scanning opens a webpage directly. Ideal for marketing materials, product pages, social media links
• Plain text: Store any text message — event descriptions, promo codes, addresses
• WiFi credentials: Use the format `WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;` — scanning auto-connects guests to your WiFi network
• Contact info (vCard): Store name, phone, and email in vCard format — scanning adds the contact to the user's phone
• Phone numbers: Use `tel:+1234567890` format — scanning initiates a phone call
