About this tool
This free QR code generator helps you turn a link, short message, WiFi login, or contact details into a scannable square you can share on posters, menus, packaging, or slides.
Everything runs in your browser. Your text is not uploaded to ShishwaLab servers, so drafts, private links, and one-off event codes stay on your device while you design and download.
Use it when you need a clean PNG quickly — for product packaging, restaurant WiFi cards, WhatsApp profile links, Google Maps pins, or a temporary campaign landing page.
Tips for better results
- Keep encoded text short when possible; very long payloads make denser QR codes that are harder to scan from a distance.
- For WiFi, encode a standard WIFI: string (network name, security type, and password) so phones can join with one scan.
- Print at a size large enough for your viewing distance — pocket stickers need less detail than billboard posters.
- Test the downloaded PNG with your phone camera before printing a large batch.
How to use
- 1 Paste the content you want encoded.
- 2 Choose the QR size and colors.
- 3 Generate the code and download it as PNG.
Scan reliability
Make QR codes that actually scan
A QR code is only useful if phones can read it in the real lighting and print size you will use. Dense payloads and low contrast are the usual failure modes.
Keep payloads short
Long URLs and verbose Wi‑Fi strings make denser modules that need more print area. Use short links when the destination is long.
Contrast matters
Dark modules on a light background scan more reliably than light-on-dark or brand colors with weak contrast.
Test before you print
Scan the downloaded PNG with at least two phones at the intended viewing distance before ordering stickers or posters.
Wi‑Fi format
For join-on-scan networks, encode a standard WIFI: payload (SSID, security type, password) rather than free-form text.
FAQ
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes. Create and download QR codes with no signup, watermark, or account.
Can I make a WiFi QR code?
Yes. Paste a WiFi-formatted string or any text you want encoded, then download the PNG.
Is my QR content uploaded?
No. The code is generated with client-side JavaScript in your browser.
What file format can I download?
PNG, which works well for web, print, and messaging apps.
Can I change QR colors?
Yes. Adjust foreground and background colors so the code matches your brand while staying scannable.
Will every phone scan my QR code?
Most modern smartphones scan standard QR codes with the built-in camera. Contrast and size still matter for reliability.
