Phone, WiFi, location, and payment — the four types people actually need most.

What each QR code type doesLearn

📞 Phone Number

When someone scans it, their phone immediately prompts them to call your number. No typing, no copying. Put it on business cards, flyers, or signage anywhere you want people to be able to reach you instantly.

Good for: Business cards, customer support, storefronts, event marketing

📍 Location

Opens Google Maps directly to the address or place you specify. Saves guests from searching for venues, makes delivery easier, and works well on event invitations where you need people to actually show up.

Good for: Event invites, shop locations, deliveries, tourist info

📶 WiFi

Guests scan and connect automatically — no password typing, no spelling out "capital-P-lowercase-a-ssword123." Works for WPA/WPA2 (most routers), WEP, and open networks. Ideal for cafes, offices, Airbnb rentals, and events.

Good for: Cafes, offices, hotels, Airbnb, guest networks, events

💳 Payment

Paste your payment link and anyone can send you money by scanning. Useful for small businesses, vendors, freelancers, or splitting bills at events without fumbling for bank details.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ

Is this genuinely free, or is there a catch?

Genuinely free. No subscription, no sign-up wall, no watermark on the output. The tool runs ads to cover costs — that's the trade-off, and it stays free for everyone.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Open the page and start generating. No email, no password, nothing to sign up for.

What phones can scan these?

Any modern smartphone — iPhone or Android — can scan QR codes directly from the built-in camera app. No special app required on devices from the past 5 or so years.

Is my WiFi password stored anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your WiFi password, phone number, and other details are never sent to any server.

How big should I print the QR code?

Minimum 2×2 cm (about 0.8×0.8 inches) for reliable scanning. Bigger is better for anything meant to be scanned from a distance. The download is 400×400px and scales cleanly for print.

Do these QR codes expire?

No. Static QR codes don't have an expiry date. They'll work as long as the underlying information is still valid — your phone number stays active, your WiFi network exists, and so on.

Can I edit a QR code after creating it?

Static QR codes can't be edited. If something changes, just generate a new one with the updated details — takes about 30 seconds.

My QR code won't scan — what's wrong?

Most common causes: too small when printed, poor lighting, blurry image, or the phone camera isn't quite in focus. Make sure there's good lighting, hold the phone steady, and check that the code is printed large enough.

Tips for better QR codesTips
  • Print at least 2×2 cm. Smaller than that and most cameras will struggle to pick it up reliably.
  • Test on two different phones before printing. What scans fine on your iPhone might be slower on an older Android.
  • Keep the contrast high. Dark code on a white background is the reliable standard — avoid low-contrast color combinations.
  • Add a short label next to it. "Scan to join WiFi" or "Scan to pay" removes guesswork for the person using it.
  • Don't put it on a curved surface. Distorted QR codes don't scan well — keep them flat.
  • Leave a white border around the code. Cropping too close to the edges causes scan failures.
  • Avoid glare and shadows when displaying on screen. If you're showing the QR on a phone or tablet, dim the surroundings or increase brightness.
  • Check that the destination still works. Before printing a large batch, verify the phone number connects, the WiFi password is current, and the payment ID is active.
About QR codesInfo

What is a QR code?

QR stands for Quick Response. It's a two-dimensional barcode — a pattern of black and white squares — that stores information your phone can read with its camera. Invented in 1994 by a Japanese company called Denso Wave, QR codes were originally used to track car parts in factories. They've since become a universal shortcut for sharing information without typing.

Unlike a standard barcode that only holds a short number, a QR code can store a phone number, a full web address, WiFi credentials, payment details, and much more. Any modern smartphone can read one using the built-in camera — no separate app needed.

How does it work?

The black and white pattern encodes your data as a grid of dots. When you point your phone camera at it, the software decodes the pattern back into the original information and takes the appropriate action — dialing a number, opening Maps, connecting to WiFi, or navigating to a payment page.

The three large squares in the corners help the scanner figure out which way the code is oriented, so it reads correctly even if you're holding your phone at an angle. QR codes also include error correction — they can still be read even if up to 30% of the pattern is obscured or damaged, which is why they hold up reasonably well even when printed on worn surfaces.

Why use this generator?

It's free, fast, and nothing is stored. Everything runs in your browser — your WiFi password, phone number, and other details never touch a server. There's no sign-up, no watermark on the output, and no limit on how many QR codes you generate. The download is 400×400px, which works cleanly for both digital use and professional printing.

Note: QR codes generated here are static and cannot be edited after creation. For WiFi QR codes, double-check your network name and password before printing. Test any QR code on multiple devices before distributing at scale. Calculator and QR results are for informational use only. Last updated: April 2026.
