QR code types and how they work
A QR (Quick Response) code encodes text in a grid of modules readable by any phone camera. Special prefixes make codes actionable: URLs open the browser, WIFI: codes join a network, mailto: starts an email and tel: dials a number. This generator builds those formats for you.
QR codes include error correction — up to 30% of the pattern can be damaged or covered and still scan. That redundancy is what allows logos in the center of fancy codes.
Tips for scannable codes
Keep strong contrast between foreground and background (dark on light scans most reliably), preserve the quiet zone (white margin) around the code, and print at least 2×2 cm for close-range scanning. Always test a printed code with several phones before mass production.
Use SVG for print materials — it scales to any size without pixelation — and PNG for screens and documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
▸Are the QR codes really free?
Yes — unlimited codes, no watermark, no expiry, no account. Static QR codes generated here work forever.
▸Do these QR codes expire?
No. The data is encoded directly in the image, so the code works as long as the destination (e.g. your URL) exists.
▸What's the difference between PNG and SVG download?
PNG is a fixed-resolution image, ideal for web and documents. SVG is a vector that scales infinitely, ideal for print.
