Where to use QR codes
QR codes are useful anywhere someone needs to get from a physical space to a digital one quickly — a printed flyer linking to your website, a menu linking to an online ordering page, or a business card linking to your contact details.
Because this tool runs entirely in your browser, your content is never sent to our servers. Nothing you generate here is logged or stored.
Tips for QR codes that actually scan
- ✓Keep good contrast. Dark pattern on a light background scans far more reliably than the reverse or low-contrast colour pairs.
- ✓Print at a reasonable size. Smaller than roughly 2cm (0.8in) square can be hard for phone cameras to focus on.
- ✓Test before printing at scale. Scan your generated code with a phone camera first to confirm it opens the right link.
- ✓Leave a quiet margin. A small white border around the code helps scanners detect its edges.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No — the code encodes your content directly, so it works for as long as the destination (like your URL) stays valid. There's no subscription or expiry tied to this tool.
Can I use this for commercial printing?
Yes, generated QR codes are yours to use freely, including on printed materials and products.
Why won't my QR code scan?
Usually low contrast, a size that's too small, or a damaged/blurry print. Try increasing the size and checking the foreground/background contrast.
