About the QR Code Generator
QR (Quick Response) codes have become a standard way to bridge printed or displayed material with digital content — restaurant menus, business cards, event tickets, product packaging, and marketing materials all commonly use them to let a phone camera jump straight to a website, contact card, or message.
This tool encodes any text or URL you enter into a scannable QR code image directly in your browser, using the widely adopted open-source QR encoding library. The result can be downloaded as a PNG image for printing or embedding elsewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do QR codes expire?
The QR code image itself never expires or stops working — it's a static, permanent encoding of whatever text or URL you entered. However, if it encodes a URL and that web page is later removed, the code will lead to a broken link.
Can I put a QR code on printed material like a flyer or business card?
Yes — download the PNG and use it in any print design tool. For print, choose the larger size option to keep the code crisp and easily scannable at a smaller printed size.
Is there a limit to how much text a QR code can hold?
Yes — QR codes have a maximum data capacity (up to a few thousand characters depending on the version and error correction level), though for practical use cases like URLs and short messages, this is rarely a limiting factor.
