How to Create a QR Code Online (Free, No Sign-Up)

A QR code on your packaging, flyer, or business card sends people straight to your link — no typing, no typos. Making one takes less than a minute, and it never expires because the data lives inside the code itself.

Use the free tool: Create a QR code — no sign-up, nothing uploaded.

Before you start

Decide what the code should contain — usually a URL like https://your-site.com/menu. Everything is generated locally in your browser.

Steps

1. Open the QR Code Generator.

2. Type or paste your URL or text into the input box.

3. Customize (optional):

   • Size — bigger for print (default 512px works for screens).
   • Colors — foreground and background; keep contrast high so phones scan reliably.
   • Error correction — level M by default; use Q or H if the code will be printed small or partially obscured.
   • Logo — overlay your logo in the center for branded codes.

4. Click download and choose PNG (for screens) or SVG (for print — scales infinitely).

5. Test it: point your phone camera at the code before you print or publish it.

Troubleshooting

• Won't scan? The usual culprits: low contrast (dark on light works best), too small on screen, or a logo covering too much of the code. Keep the logo modest and retest.
• Colors look off in print? Screens and printers render color differently — print one test copy and scan it before a full run.
• Need to scan one instead? Use the QR Scanner with your camera.
