QR codes bridge the gap between physical and digital experiences. A customer scans a code on your product packaging and lands on a support page. A restaurant patron scans a table code and opens your menu. A conference attendee scans your badge and gets your contact details. The use cases are nearly limitless.
Global QR code usage has grown over 400% since 2020, driven largely by the pandemic-era shift toward contactless interactions. According to Statista, over 89 million smartphone users in the US alone scanned a QR code in 2024, up from 72 million in 2022.
For customer-facing businesses, QR codes simplify the path between a customer's problem and your solution. Instead of asking someone to type a URL, search for your app, or navigate a phone menu, you hand them a scannable code that takes them exactly where they need to go. This reduces friction and improves the support experience.
This generator creates static QR codes — the data is encoded directly into the image. They work offline, never expire, and don't depend on any tracking service. You can generate codes for URLs, plain text, email drafts, phone numbers, and WiFi networks.
How to Use This Generator

- Customize appearance: Optionally change the QR code size and foreground/background colors. Ensure high contrast for reliable scanning.
- Preview and download: The QR code generates automatically. Click "Download PNG" to save the image.
Test your QR code by scanning it with your phone camera before using it in print materials.
Pro Tips
- Use short URLs: Shorter data produces simpler QR codes that are easier to scan, especially at small sizes. Use a URL shortener for long links.
- Add a call-to-action: Don't just display a QR code — add text like "Scan for support" or "Scan to connect to WiFi" so people know what to expect.
- Test before printing: Always scan your QR code with at least two different phones before committing to print. Test from the expected scanning distance.
- Maintain quiet zone: Leave white space (at least 4 modules wide) around the QR code. Cropping too close to the code makes it harder to scan.
- Prefer dark on light: Dark foreground on white or light background is the most reliable combination. Some older phone cameras struggle with inverted (light on dark) codes.
