QR code generator

Choose what the code should do, fill in the details and download it as a PNG or SVG. The code is made in your browser and works for ever – there is no tracking link in between.

Static QR codes that never expire

Many “free” QR sites make a dynamic code that points to their own short link, then stop it working when a trial ends. The codes made here are static: the link, Wi-Fi details or text are written straight into the pattern. They work for ever, there is nobody in between, and no scan is tracked.

What each type does

  • Website link: opens the page. Use the full address starting with https://.
  • Wi-Fi: phones join the network without typing the password – handy for guests, cafés and holiday lets.
  • WhatsApp: opens a chat with your number, optionally with a message already typed.
  • Email, phone, SMS: start a message or a call.

Printing tips

  • Choose High error correction for print – the code still scans if part is scratched or covered.
  • Keep at least 2 cm across for close-up scanning, larger for posters (roughly 1 cm per 10 cm of scanning distance).
  • Use a dark colour on a light background; leave the white border (the “quiet zone”) around it.
  • Download SVG for print – it stays sharp at any size. Always test-scan before printing many copies.

Worked example: a Wi-Fi code for a network called “CafeGuest” with WPA password “coffee2026” holds the text WIFI:T:WPA;S:CafeGuest;P:coffee2026;;. Scanning it with a phone camera offers to join the network.

Privacy

Your Wi-Fi password and other details stay on your device; the code is drawn in your browser.

Ideas for using QR codes

  • Shops and cafés: a code on the counter that opens your menu, WhatsApp or Google review page.
  • Events: a code on a poster that opens the booking page.
  • Home: a Wi-Fi code on the fridge so guests can join without asking for the password.
  • Business cards: a code that opens your website or saves your number.

Frequently asked questions

Do these QR codes expire?

No. They are static codes with your content inside them, so they keep working for ever.

Can I make a QR code for Wi-Fi?

Yes – choose “Wi-Fi network”, enter the name and password, and phones can join by scanning.

PNG or SVG?

PNG for screens, documents and social media; SVG for printing and design software because it scales without blurring.

Are scans tracked?

No. There is no link through our site, so we never see who scans your code.
