Choose a QR type and add content to unlock downloads.
- Use darker foreground colors and a light background for better scanning reliability.
- Higher error correction improves resilience but makes the pattern denser.
- Use SVG for business cards, keep the printed QR at least 0.8 in / 20 mm wide, preserve quiet zone, and test scan before printing.
Quick answers
How to make a URL QR code
Paste the URL, adjust colors and size if you want, then download PNG or SVG. The QR is generated in your browser; the link never leaves your machine.
How to do it
Paste the full URL (including https://), pick foreground and background colors, choose an error correction level, and download. The QR code renders instantly in your browser.
Why use this tool
The URL stays on your device. There is no upload step, no account, and no watermark on the output. You get a clean PNG or SVG you can use anywhere.
Shorter URLs scan faster
QR codes encode data by the character. A short link (e.g. a bit.ly redirect) produces a simpler pattern that more phones can read at a distance or at an angle.
When to use error correction Q or H
If the QR will be printed on a rough surface, partially covered by a logo, or displayed outdoors, bump error correction to Q or H. The pattern gets denser but tolerates more damage.

About URL QR codes
A URL QR code encodes a web address so that a phone camera can open it directly, no typing or searching required. It is the most common QR type by far, used on business cards, posters, packaging, restaurant menus, and event badges.
The payload is just the URL string. Most QR readers detect the https:// prefix and open the browser automatically. If you omit the scheme, some readers treat it as plain text instead of a link, so always include it.
Because the URL is encoded character by character, shorter links produce smaller, faster-scanning QR codes. If you are printing a long URL, consider using a redirect service to shorten it first.

Works offline once loaded. After the first visit, the page runs without a network connection because all the logic is in JavaScript.
FAQ
Common questions
Does this upload my content anywhere?
No. QR payloads are generated in the browser using a client-side library and rendered on the page locally.
Which export should I choose?
SVG is best for print and scaling. PNG is easier for quick sharing in slides, docs, chats, and social posts.
Why did my QR stop rendering?
Very long content can exceed QR capacity. Shorten the text or lower the error correction level to fit more data.
What does error correction do?
Error correction adds backup data so the QR can still be read even when partly covered, damaged, or printed on a rough surface. Higher levels (Q, H) tolerate more damage but make the pattern denser. Medium (M) is a good default for most uses.
