What is a QR Code?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of two-dimensional barcode that can store various types of information, including URLs, text, contact information, and more. QR codes were first developed in 1994 by Denso Wave, a subsidiary of Toyota, for tracking automotive parts.

Today, QR codes are widely used for marketing, contactless payments, event tickets, restaurant menus, and countless other applications. They can be scanned using smartphone cameras or dedicated QR code scanner apps, making them incredibly accessible and user-friendly.

Our QR code generator creates high-quality codes that are compatible with all standard QR code readers and smartphones. You can customize the appearance, size, and format to match your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are QR codes generated on this tool free to use?

Yes, all QR codes generated using our tool are completely free to use for personal and commercial purposes. There are no hidden fees or usage restrictions.

What's the difference between PNG, SVG, PDF, and JPG formats?

PNG offers lossless compression with transparency support, SVG is vector-based and infinitely scalable, PDF is ideal for print documents, and JPG provides smaller file sizes with slight compression.

Can I use transparent backgrounds for my QR codes?

Yes, you can create QR codes with transparent backgrounds. This is perfect for overlaying on images, logos, or colored backgrounds while maintaining scannability.

What size should I choose for printing QR codes?

For print materials, we recommend using the 'Print Quality (4096x4096)' option to ensure crisp, clear QR codes that scan reliably even when printed at various sizes.

Do QR codes expire or stop working?

The QR codes themselves don't expire, but if the URL they point to becomes unavailable or changes, the QR code will no longer work. Always test your QR codes before distribution.

Can I track QR code scans?

Our tool generates static QR codes that point directly to your URL. For tracking scans, you would need to use URL shortening services with analytics or implement tracking on your destination website.

What's the maximum length of text I can add as footer?

Footer text is limited to 20 characters to maintain visual balance and ensure the QR code remains the focal point while adding your custom branding or message.
