QR Code Generator
Type text or a link, QR code updates live
What Is a QR Code Generator?
A QR code generator turns text or a link into a scannable square code that any phone camera can read. Type into the box above and the code updates live, no button to press.

Type a link or any text into the box.
Watch the QR code update automatically.
Press "Download PNG" to save it.
Is This QR Code Generator Free?
Yes — there's no paywall, no watermark, and no sign-up required.
Do These QR Codes Ever Expire?
No. Your text or link is encoded directly into the QR code itself, not through a tracking redirect link on someone else's server. There's nothing that can expire, get disabled, or start demanding a subscription later — the code works for as long as QR scanners exist.
What Can You Put in a QR Code?
Any text: a website URL, a phone number, a plain message, or formatted data like a WiFi network string or a contact card (vCard) — this tool doesn't have dedicated modes for those, so you'd need to format the text yourself before pasting it in.
Can I Add a Logo to My QR Code?
Not on this tool — it generates a plain black-on-white code with no logo, color, or style customization. If you need a branded QR code, you'd need a different tool for that.
Downloading Your QR Code
Press "Download PNG" once a code is showing, and it saves as a plain PNG image — ready to drop into a poster, flyer, or webpage.
Is It Safe to Use This QR Code Generator?
Yes. It doesn't route your QR code through a redirect or link-shortening service, and it doesn't track who scans it — the code just contains what you typed, generated for that one request and not stored.
