How to Generate a QR Code for Free (URL, WiFi, Text & More)
QR codes are everywhere — restaurant menus, business cards, product packaging, event tickets, WiFi sharing. Creating one takes seconds with the right tool. Here's how to generate professional QR codes for free, with no signup or watermarks.
What can you put in a QR code?
QR codes can encode several types of data. URLs are the most common — point to a website, landing page, or social media profile. WiFi credentials let people join your network by scanning instead of typing a password. Plain text can store messages, notes, or any short text. Email links can pre-fill the recipient, subject, and body. vCards store contact information that can be saved directly to a phone. Each type has different scanning behaviors on phones — URLs open in a browser, WiFi credentials trigger a connection prompt, and vCards offer to save the contact.

QR code best practices
Always test your QR code before printing by scanning it with your phone. Use high contrast colors — dark code on light background works best. Leave white space (quiet zone) around the code for reliable scanning. For print materials, download the SVG version for crisp output at any size. For URLs, use short links to keep the QR code simple — simpler codes scan faster and more reliably. Avoid making QR codes smaller than 2cm × 2cm in print.
