QR code tools

Static QR codes for links, Wi-Fi, contacts and reviews that keep working for as long as the link does.

One generator, set up for different jobs

Every page here uses the same generator; each one opens with the right fields for its job.

  • A link, plain text, an email or an SMS: the QR code generator. It has tabs for all of these plus Wi-Fi and contacts, so it is the place to start when you are not sure.
  • Guests asking for the Wi-Fi password: Wi-Fi QR code. The network name and password go inside the code, so a phone camera joins without typing.
  • A business card or an email signature: business card QR code, which holds a contact card that saves to the phone’s contacts in one tap.
  • More reviews for a shop or restaurant: Google review QR code, which opens the review box for your business. You need its Place ID, which starts with ChIJ.
  • A poster or a menu that points to your profile: Instagram QR code.
  • A code that matches your brand: QR code with logo. With a logo, the code switches to the highest error correction so it still scans.
  • Product labels, badges or table numbers by the dozen: bulk QR code generator, up to 500 rows of a CSV file in one ZIP.

Static or dynamic?

Every code here is static: the link or text is stored inside the pattern itself. A dynamic code stores a short link to a company’s server, which then redirects the scanner. Dynamic codes can be edited after printing and can count scans, but they stop working if the service ends or the subscription lapses. For a link that will not change, static is the safer choice; for a Wi-Fi password that changes, print a new code.

Before you print

  1. Scan the code with two different phones.
  2. Keep the white margin around it; scanners need it to find the edges.
  3. Print it large enough: about 2 cm (0.8 in) across for a short link read from close up, larger for posters read from a distance and for long content, which makes the pattern denser.
  4. Dark code on a light background. The generator warns about inverted or pale colors, because many phone cameras cannot read them.

PNG downloads are 1024 × 1024 pixels, enough for documents and screens. For anything printed bigger than a postcard, take the SVG, which stays sharp at any size.
