QR Code Generator

What is a QR Code Generator?

A QR code generator is a tool that creates scannable Quick Response (QR) codes: two-dimensional barcodes that smartphones can read with their cameras. QR codes can encode URLs, contact details, WiFi credentials, text, email addresses, phone numbers, and more, making them incredibly versatile for marketing, business, and personal use.

CodeHelper's QR Code Generator creates custom QR codes directly in your browser with no watermarks, no sign-up, and complete privacy. Export as PNG or SVG for any use case.

Supported QR Code Types

• URL QR Code: Link directly to a website, landing page, or app store listing.
• WiFi QR Code: Let guests connect to your network by scanning: no password typing needed.
• vCard QR Code: Share your contact information including name, phone, email, and address.
• Email & SMS QR Codes: Pre-fill an email or text message for recipients to send.
• Geo Location QR Code: Encode GPS coordinates to open directly in Maps apps.

How to make a QR code, step by step

The fastest way to turn a link into a QR code: paste the URL, pick a size, and download. Concretely: choose the URL type, paste your link (for example your menu, your booking page or a WiFi login), set the size to at least 300 by 300 pixels if it will be printed, then download the PNG for screens or the SVG for print, which stays crisp at any size. That is the whole process, and it happens entirely in your browser: the link you encode is never sent to a server.

Do these QR codes expire, and are they really free?

No expiry and no cost. This is a static QR code generator: the destination is encoded directly into the pattern, so the code works forever and there is no account, no watermark and no scan limit. That is the difference from many "free" services that generate a dynamic QR code pointing at their own tracking URL, which can expire, redirect through ads, or stop working when your trial ends. A static code you generate here has no middleman to fail. The trade-off: because the URL is baked in, you cannot change the destination later, so generate a fresh code if the link changes.

Static vs dynamic QR codes

A static QR code stores the data itself and cannot be edited or tracked, which makes it private, permanent and free. A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect URL owned by a service, letting them change the target and count scans, but it depends on that service staying online and often costs money. For a business card, a WiFi password, a menu or an event link, static is almost always the right choice, and it is what this tool produces.
