QR Codes – Tips & FAQ

What exactly is a QR code?

The two-dimensional Quick Response code stores up to 7,089 digits or 4,296 characters and can be scanned by any modern smartphone. With this free QR code generator (no ads) you create codes in seconds—no watermark, no tracking.

Why generate a QR code online instead of typing a URL?

Print media: Connect flyers, menus or posters with your website.
Wi-Fi QR: Guests scan and join without typing the password.
Business card QR (vCard): Add contact details to the address book in one tap.
Dynamic QR code: Change the target URL later (premium tools).

Design tips for a stylish QR code

Rounded dots, colour corners and logo overlays turn your code into a brand element. Keep in mind:

Contrast: Dark foreground on light background (or vice versa).
Quiet zone: 4× module padding around the code for better scan rate.
File type: PNG for print, SVG for infinite scaling.

What data fits into a QR code?

Text, URL, Wi-Fi, e-mail, SMS, calendar event or vCard.
This tool handles up to 2,953 bytes—perfect for long URLs.

Quick answers

Is a coloured QR code scannable?

Yes, as long as contrast is sufficient. The colour picker checks contrast automatically.

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Currently not inside the tool, but you can drop the PNG into Canva/Figma and overlay your logo. A built-in logo option is on the roadmap.
