QR Code Generator
Turn any link or text into a clean, printable QR code — and download it as a PNG, free with no watermark.
What is this tool?
QR codes are everywhere in American daily life now: on restaurant tables instead of paper menus, on business cards, yard signs, wedding invitations, church bulletins and 'scan to pay' stickers at farmers markets. This generator turns any website link or text into a high-resolution QR code you can download and print, with no sign-up and no watermark.
It is perfect for linking a printed flyer to an online menu, sharing your Wi-Fi password with guests (encode it as text), sending customers to a Google review page, or adding a scan-to-book link to a business card. The code is generated in your browser at print-friendly resolution with a quiet white border, so it scans reliably even at small sizes.
How to use it
- Type or paste the link or text you want the code to open.
- Click Generate QR code.
- Click Download PNG and use the image anywhere — print, documents or social posts.
Formula & method
Worked example
A coffee shop pastes its menu link, https://example.com/menu, generates the code, and prints it on table tents. Customers point their phone camera at the tent and the menu opens instantly — no typing, no app to install.
Frequently asked questions
Do QR codes expire?
No. A QR code simply stores the text or link you encoded; it works forever as long as the destination link itself stays alive. Shorten nothing and double-check the URL before printing in bulk.
How big should I print a QR code?
At least 1 × 1 inch for close-up scanning like menus and cards, and bigger for signs people scan from a distance — a good rule is one inch of code for every 10 inches of scanning distance.
Can I make a QR code for Wi-Fi?
Yes. Many phones accept the text format WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;; — encode that exact text and guests can join by scanning. Only share it with people you trust, since the password is inside the code.
