Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned by smartphones and barcode readers. It can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, Wi-Fi credentials, phone numbers, and more. QR codes were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave for tracking automotive parts and have since become ubiquitous for sharing information.
How do I generate a QR code online?

Is this QR code generator free?
Yes, this QR code generator is completely free with no sign-up, watermarks, or usage limits. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser using a pure JavaScript implementation, so your data never leaves your device.
What types of data can I encode in a QR code?
You can encode any text-based data including website URLs, plain text, email addresses (mailto:), phone numbers (tel:), SMS messages, Wi-Fi network configurations (WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;), geographic coordinates, calendar events, and vCard contact information.
What is the maximum data a QR code can hold?
This tool supports up to approximately 271 characters in byte mode (QR version 10). Standard QR codes can hold up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters at the largest version (40), but higher versions produce very dense codes that may be difficult to scan. For most URLs and text, version 10 is more than sufficient.
Can I customize the colors of my QR code?
Yes, you can change both the foreground (module) color and the background color using the color pickers. Make sure to maintain sufficient contrast between foreground and background for reliable scanning. Dark modules on a light background typically work best.
