QR Code Generator

Encodes any text or URL you type as a QR code image, rendered live on a canvas as you type and available to download as a PNG file.

Type or paste a URL or any text into the box. The QR code updates automatically after each change; click Download to save it as a PNG once you're happy with the result.

Typing https://example.com produces a scannable QR code immediately; any phone camera or QR scanner app that reads it opens that URL. The same works for plain text, a phone number in tel: format, or any other string — the code just encodes whatever characters you provide.

Common uses include linking to a website, menu or contact page, or sharing a coupon code. Because the tool encodes whatever text you type, you can also type a manually formatted payload such as a Wi-Fi credential string (WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;) or a vCard contact block yourself — most scanner apps still recognize that formatting, even though this tool doesn't build it for you through a dedicated form.

The QR code is rendered at 240×240 pixels with a 1-module quiet-zone margin, using the standard QR code specification (ISO/IEC 18004). It defaults to error-correction level M, which can recover from roughly 15% of the code being damaged or obscured — a middle ground between maximum data capacity and resilience to scratches or print imperfections.

This tool encodes plain text or URLs only — it doesn't validate the URL, doesn't offer the specialized QR payload formats some scanners recognize specially, such as a Wi-Fi network, contact card/vCard, or calendar event, and doesn't let you customize color, add a logo, or change the error-correction level. For very long text, the resulting code becomes visually denser and may be harder for some cameras to scan reliably.

QR code generation follows the ISO/IEC 18004 standard. The code is rendered entirely in your browser using the canvas element; the text or URL you enter is never sent to a server.
