FAQ

How do I create a QR code for free?
Pick a QR code type in the bar at the top, fill in the details, and click “Download PNG”. No sign-up required — it works instantly.
Can I add a logo to a QR code?
Yes. In the “Design” section, open the “Logo” tab and upload a PNG, JPEG, or SVG file up to 2 MB. You can adjust the logo size with the slider.
What's the best format to download a QR code in?
PNG works for any digital use. SVG is best for print and scales without losing quality (banners, business cards, signage).
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you enter ever leaves your device.
Will my QR code work forever?
Yes. A static QR code stores the data directly, so it works offline and never expires. The only catch: if it links to a website and that site goes down, the link stops working.
How are QR codes used in business?
Businesses use QR codes for restaurant and cafe menus, promotions and discount coupons, digital business cards, Wi-Fi in offices and coworking spaces, links to Google and Yandex reviews, payments through banking apps, product manuals and digital product passports, and ad banners and signage.
How do I add a QR code to a website or social media?
Download your QR code as a PNG and upload it like any other image to your website or social media. On a website, use an img tag. On Instagram or VK, add it to a post or story. For Tilda, Webflow, or Figma, use the SVG version — it scales to any size without losing quality, from business cards to banners.

How to create a QR code online for free

Our generator creates QR codes in seconds — nothing to install, no sign-up. Pick a type from the bar: link, text, Wi-Fi, vCard business card, email, WhatsApp, phone, or SMS. Fill in the fields — for example, paste a website URL for a link QR code, or enter your network name and password for a Wi-Fi QR code. Click “Download PNG” and your QR code is saved to your device. No queues, no limits.

Want to go further? Customize the design: choose dot and background colors, pick a module shape (square, rounded, dots, classy), and add your company logo. Every change shows up in the preview instantly, with no page reload. Your QR code is generated right in the browser using the QR Code Styling JavaScript library, so nothing you type is ever sent to a server.

Download QR codes in PNG and SVG

The generator exports in two formats: PNG and SVG. PNG is a raster format that's perfect for posting online, sharing in messaging apps, and printing small batches of business cards and stickers. Choose from three PNG sizes: 512 px, 1024 px, or 2048 px — the largest works for big prints without losing sharpness.

SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without losing quality, from a business card to a banner two meters tall. It's ideal for print, signage, T-shirts, and branded merch. You can edit SVG files in Adobe Illustrator, Figma, and Inkscape.

QR codes for links, Wi-Fi and business cards

Link QR codes are the most popular type. Put one on product packaging, a flyer, a business card, or a shop window. People scan it and land on your site instantly — no typing URLs. Great for landing pages, YouTube channels, and Instagram and VK profiles.

Wi-Fi QR codes spare guests from typing in long network passwords. They just scan, and their phone connects automatically. Perfect for cafes, restaurants, offices, conference rooms, hostels, and vacation rentals.

Business card QR codes (vCard) store your contact details: first and last name, phone, email, company, job title, and website. When scanned, the phone offers to save the contact in one tap — no manual typing. A great fit for business events, conferences, and networking.

WhatsApp QR codes open a chat with your number and a pre-filled message. Use them for customer support: put the code on your website or packaging, and customers can message you directly without looking up your contact info or dialing your number.

Email QR codes automatically fill in the “To”, “Subject”, and “Body” fields in the phone's email app. Handy for collecting feedback, taking orders, and newsletter sign-ups — no web form required.

MyKreaTool QR Generator runs entirely client-side in JavaScript. That means:

What a QR code is and how it works

A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a two-dimensional matrix barcode invented in Japan in 1994 by Denso Wave to track auto parts on Toyota's assembly lines. By the 2020s, QR codes were everywhere: restaurant menus, boarding passes, payments, product labeling, and vaccine passports.

Unlike a regular barcode, a QR code stores information both horizontally and vertically, so it can hold up to 7089 digits or 4296 characters. A QR code is made up of three corner position markers (finder patterns), a mask pattern that evens out the distribution of cells, data with error correction, and a white quiet zone around the edges.

The error correction level determines how well a QR code holds up to damage: L — 7% redundancy (smallest code), M — 15%, Q — 25%, H — 30% (maximum resilience, needed when you add a logo). At level H, the code stays readable even with 30% of its area damaged.

QR codes vs. regular barcodes

A regular barcode (EAN-13, UPC-A) is one-dimensional: data is encoded only in the widths of vertical bars, with a maximum capacity of 20 digits. A QR code is two-dimensional — it holds hundreds of times more data and can be scanned from any angle. QR codes have another advantage: built-in error correction recovers data even when the code is partially damaged, dirty, or worn. A barcode becomes unreadable with any damage at all.

Scanning QR codes safely

QR codes themselves are harmless — they're just a container for data, like a line of text. But stay alert in public places: scammers sometimes stick fake QR codes over real ones. This scam is called “quishing” (QR phishing), and it's been on the rise since 2022.

To scan safely: check the URL before you open it (most iOS and Android cameras show the link before launching the browser), make sure the QR code isn't a sticker placed over another one, and never enter your login or password on pages opened from QR codes you don't trust.

Our generator creates only static QR codes — they store the data directly and don't rely on third-party redirect servers. A static QR code can't be changed once created, doesn't track scans, and never expires.

QR code design tips for reliable scanning

Good QR code design makes people more likely to scan and turns the code into part of your brand. Practical tips:

Our online QR code generator offers six module shapes, three corner square styles, and separate color controls for every element. Create branded QR codes that match your visual identity perfectly — free, unlimited, and no sign-up required.
