How to Use This Tool

- Batch mode — paste up to 20 URLs/texts to generate QR codes in bulk.
Understanding Error Correction
QR codes include built-in error correction, allowing them to be scanned even when partially damaged or obscured. Higher error correction means a larger QR code but better resilience.
Low (L) — ~7%
Smallest QR, least resilient
Medium (M) — ~15%
Good balance
Quartile (Q) — ~25%
Better damage recovery
High (H) — ~30%
Best damage recovery, largest QR

PNG vs SVG: Which to Download
PNG — raster format, best for web use, emails, and standard print. Choose 512px or 1024px for print.
SVG — vector format, scales to any size without losing quality. Best for professional print, large signage, or embedding in design tools like Figma or Illustrator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this free?▾
Yes. Completely free, no sign-up, no limits, no watermarks on any downloads.
Is my data sent to a server?▾
No. QR code generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded.
What size should I use for print?▾
For print materials, use 512px or 1024px PNG, or download the SVG for infinite scalability. The QR code should be at least 2cm (0.8 inches) when printed to ensure reliable scanning.
Can I customize colors?▾
Yes. You can change foreground and background colors. Keep good contrast between them — low contrast can prevent scanning.
What's the max data capacity?▾
QR codes can hold up to ~2,900 characters at the lowest error correction level, or ~1,270 at the highest. URLs are typically well within this limit.
How many QR codes can I generate in batch mode?▾
Up to 20 at a time. Each generates individually at 256px with your selected colors and error correction level.
