Free custom QR code generator
Brand every code with your colors, logo and frame, for your business, church or organization. Links, WiFi, contact cards and more, as print-ready files. Free, with no sign-up.
1 Choose what it opens
Open a web page, form, video or menu.
2 Make it yours
Good to know
Static codes never expire
The content is written into the pattern itself, so the code works forever with no account and no tracking. It also can't be edited after you print it.
Test before you print
Scan the download with two different phones. Check the link opens, the WiFi joins and the contact saves the way you expect.
Size it for the distance
Print at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide for cards and flyers. For posters, plan on about one tenth of the distance people will scan from.
Keep contrast high
Dark patterns on light backgrounds scan best. A logo works when it covers less than a third of the code.
