QR Code generator.
QR codes hold links, Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards and payment details in a square that any phone camera reads instantly. This generator renders spec-compliant QR codes with a proper quiet zone, adjustable error correction, and optional logo-and-gradient styling. Free, including vector SVG.
URLs, Wi-Fi, contacts, anything. Scans from screens and print.
Design: logo & style
temporarily unavailableStandards-based quiet zones are always on. For production packaging, verify a printed sample with a barcode verifier.
Preview
- Renders on our servers, the one Plume tool that does.
- We keep the code type and content length, never what you encode.
- Free SVG vector + up to 600 DPI PNG, commercial use allowed.

Valid QR Code input
Almost any text is valid input. URLs, multiline notes, and full UTF-8 (accented characters, Cyrillic, Japanese) all encode correctly, and this tool accepts up to 2048 characters. The encoder chooses the densest internal mode (numeric, alphanumeric, or byte) automatically, so you never pick a mode by hand.
What a scanner does with the code depends on how the content starts. Text beginning with https:// opens as a link, WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:pass1234;; prompts the phone to join a network, and BEGIN:VCARD offers to save a contact. Keep payloads short where you can: fewer characters means fewer modules, and a lighter pattern scans faster and prints smaller.
Working sample: https://example.com a plain https link, the most common QR payload.
Where QR Code is used
- Link a menu, form or landing page from print
- Share Wi-Fi without spelling out the password
- Business cards and event badges
- SEPA and UPI payment requests
Common errors and how to fix them
- Enter the content to encode.
- The data box is empty. Paste a URL or type any text and the watermarked preview renders immediately.
- Content is too long (max 2048 characters).
- This generator caps QR content at 2048 characters. Trim the payload, or host the long content on a web page and encode a short link to it instead; a smaller code is also easier to scan.
Size and printing
Symbol size follows content: a short URL fits a small grid, while a long vCard produces a dense one that needs more room on the page. A useful rule of thumb is to print the code at least one tenth as wide as the farthest distance it will be scanned from, and always keep the 4-module quiet zone clear on every side. In the tool, set the module width in mm for exact print dimensions, pick an option in the "Where will it be used?" preset picker for sensible defaults, and export SVG (which scales to any size) or PNG at up to 600 DPI for raster workflows.
QR Code questions
Do QR codes expire?
Codes made here are static: the content is baked into the pattern itself, so there is nothing to expire and no redirect server that can shut down. The code keeps working for as long as the print or screen it sits on exists. If you expect the destination to change later, encode a short URL you control and update where that URL points.
Is this QR code generator free for commercial use?
Yes. PNG and vector SVG downloads are free, commercial use is allowed, and no account is needed. There is a limit of 20 free downloads per UTC day, and live previews do not count toward that limit.
How much data can a QR code hold?
The ISO/IEC 18004 standard tops out at 7089 digits, 4296 alphanumeric characters, or 2953 bytes at the lowest error correction level. This generator accepts up to 2048 characters, which covers virtually every real payload. Shorter is better in practice, because dense codes have to be printed larger to stay readable.
How do I make a QR code for Wi-Fi?
Encode the text WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;; with your own network name and password substituted in. Phones that scan it will offer to join the network directly. For an open network, use T:nopass and leave the P: field out.
