QR code generator is a free tool that runs entirely in your browser, with no data ever sent to a server. Turn any text or URL into a QR code, ready to download as PNG.

What it's for

Sharing an easily scannable link on a poster or business card, encoding a short text, or previewing how a QR code will look before printing it.

What this tool does not do

This tool generates a static QR code : it does not track scans, collect any statistics, or redirect through a third-party service. The encoded content cannot be changed once the QR code is created.

Frequently asked questions

What's the text length limit?

A QR code can hold up to about 4,300 alphanumeric characters, but the longer the text, the denser and harder to scan the pattern becomes. For a URL, shorter is better.

Is my data sent to a server?

No : the QR code is generated entirely in your browser, on your device. The text you enter is never transmitted to a server.

Do I need to create an account or install anything?

No : the tool works directly on this page, with no sign-up and no install.
