QR code generator and image reader

Create QR codes for text, links, Wi-Fi and contacts. Download PNG or SVG, or read a code from an image without opening its link.

Error correction

Higher correction helps with damage, but makes the code denser. Keep the white border.

About this tool

Share a link, let guests join Wi-Fi or prepare a contact card. Create and inspect QR codes in one place, with a live preview and readable encoded contents.

How to use

Choose Text, Website, Wi-Fi or Contact and fill in the fields. The QR code updates automatically. Website mode adds https:// when the scheme is missing; check the encoded contents before sharing. Wi-Fi supports personal WPA/WPA2, WEP and open networks. Contact mode creates a vCard 3.0 with a name and optional phone, email and organization.

Download a PNG for everyday sharing or an SVG for sharp printing at any size. The image uses black modules on white with a four-module quiet zone. Keep that border, avoid stretching, and scan a test print with the intended phone. Higher error correction leaves less room for content; it does not guarantee that a cropped or covered code will scan.

To read a code, select Read an image and drop one PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF. The tool reads one QR code, shows the contents as text and never opens a link or joins a network automatically. Animated images use their first frame. Up to 20 MiB, 20 million pixels and 8,192 pixels per side are accepted; images are reduced to 2,048 pixels per side for reading. Crop close to a small code if it cannot be found.

Payloads are limited to 2,953 UTF-8 bytes, with lower practical capacity at higher correction levels. Processing happens in your browser, with no upload or saved input. A Wi-Fi QR code contains the password in readable form. Generated codes are static: there is no expiry, scan tracking or editable redirect service.

Common questions

Will a generated QR code expire?

The code is a static image containing the data you entered, so the image itself does not expire. A website it points to can still change or go offline. This tool does not provide editable short links or scan statistics.

Does a Wi-Fi QR code hide the password?

No. The password is included in the code and can be read by a scanner. Share it only with people who should have access. Changing the network name, password or security type requires a new code.

Why will my phone not scan the image?

Keep the four-module white border, use a sharp image and avoid stretching or placing graphics over it. Very small codes inside large screenshots can disappear when resized; crop the image first. This reader extracts one QR code at a time.

Why can fewer than 2,953 characters be too much?

The limit is measured in UTF-8 bytes, not characters. Emoji and many scripts use several bytes, and higher error correction reduces capacity. Shorten the content or lower correction, then test the downloaded image.
