Turn a URL, text, Wi-Fi network, contact card, email, SMS or location into a QR code; fill in a few fields and the format is built for you. Put a logo or avatar in the middle and a line such as "Scan me" underneath. Advanced mode adds presets, dot, rounded and diamond modules, custom eyes, gradient or image backgrounds, and batch generation with one item per line downloaded as a ZIP. Every code is test-scanned automatically before you download it as PNG, JPG or vector SVG. Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, Micro QR and rectangular rMQR are available too. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.

## How to use

1. Pick a content type such as URL, Wi-Fi or contact card and fill it in
2. Optionally add a center image or text below, or switch to Advanced for styles and batch
3. Once the scan self-check passes, download PNG, JPG or SVG

## FAQ

### Do the QR codes expire or limit scans?

No. These are static QR codes with the content encoded directly, so they never expire and have no scan limit.

### Will it still scan with a logo in the middle?

Yes. Adding a center image switches to level H error correction (it survives up to 30% of the modules being covered) and caps the image at 30% of the code width. Check the scan self-check under the preview before downloading, and test with a phone before printing.

### How do I create QR codes in bulk?

Click Advanced at the top right, choose Batch under Content and enter one URL or text per line, up to 500 lines. Tick "Print each line under its code" to label every code. When downloading, choose all (one ZIP), just the current one, or pick your own.

### How are Data Matrix and PDF417 different from QR codes?

They are all 2D barcodes used in different places: Data Matrix is tiny and printed on electronic parts and medicine boxes, PDF417 is a long strip found on IDs and boarding passes, and Aztec appears on some train tickets and boarding passes. Phone cameras read QR Code most reliably, so test other symbologies with the scanner or app that will read them. Center images, module shapes and gradients only apply to QR Code.

### Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account and has no usage limits.
