QR Code Generator

Generate QR codes for URLs, text, or any content.

What Can You Encode?

  • Websites (URLs): Link directly to your landing page, portfolio, or menu.
  • Plain Text: Display a message, Wi-Fi password, or discount code.
  • Wi-Fi Access: Allow guests to join your network instantly without typing passwords.
  • Digital Business Cards (vCard): Share contact details that save directly to the phone.
  • Email: Open a pre-addressed email with a subject line.
  • Phone Numbers: Trigger a call to your support line.

Size & Scanning Guidelines

To ensure your QR code is scannable, follow these size rules based on viewing distance:

  • Documents/Cards: Minimum 2cm x 2cm (0.8").
  • Flyers/Posters: Minimum 3-5cm (1.2-2").
  • Billboards/Signage: Minimum 30cm (12") or 1/10th of the viewing distance.

The 10:1 Rule: The QR code size should be roughly 10% of the distance from the scanner. If scanning from 10 meters away, the code needs to be 1 meter wide.

Collect Feedback With QR Codes

Add a QR code to receipts, table tents, event signs, or packaging so customers can quickly collect feedback from customers after an interaction.

Best Practices for Reliability

  • Shorten URLs: Use a URL shortener to reduce data density, making the code cleaner and faster to scan.
  • Test Everywhere: Scan your code with Android and iOS devices before printing.
  • High Contrast: Use dark colors on a light background. Black on white is safest.
  • Quiet Zone: Ensure there is a margin of white space around the code.
  • Aspect Ratio: Never stretch or distort the code; keep it perfectly square.
