If you leave out https://, it’s added automatically.
Enter it the way you dial it in your country, with the area code. We remove any leading 0 (and Argentina’s 15) and add the country code for you.
Scanning it opens the phone app with this number.
You can copy the coordinates from your maps app: press and hold a spot and tap the numbers.
Scanners need a clear border around the code. We recommend 4 modules.
Use a code color darker than the background so every scanner can read it.
Optional. Upload your logo as PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG; it’s centered on the code.
The bigger it is, the harder it is to read. Up to 25% usually works well.
Medium tolerates up to 15% damage. More correction means more dots, but the code better withstands scratches and blurry prints.

How to use it
- Choose the content type (URL, text, WhatsApp, Wi-Fi, contact, email, phone, SMS, or location) and fill in the details.
- On the Design tab, choose colors, a gradient, and the shape of the dots and corners. If you want, add your logo on the next tab.
- Check the preview: the tool tests that the code reads correctly with the design you chose and warns you if the contrast is low.
- Download it as a PNG (512, 1024, or 2048 pixels) or as an SVG to print at any size, or copy the image to the clipboard.
Frequently asked questions
What can I store in a text QR code?
Any short text: a note, an instruction, a serial number, an access code, or a reminder. When someone scans it, the phone shows the content exactly as you typed it.
How much text fits?
The more text you add, the denser the code gets and the larger you must print it for it to scan. For long messages, a URL QR code that points to a page is much smaller.
Is my message saved anywhere?
No. The text is encoded in your browser and is never sent or stored. The QR code is static: the content lives inside the image.
A QR code for plain text
A text QR code stores a message directly in the code, with no address and no server. When someone scans it, the phone shows the text on screen. It works well for short instructions, serial numbers, access codes, or notes.
When a link is better
If the content is long or may change, a URL QR code that points to a page is better: it is smaller and you can update the page without reprinting. For a short message, plain text works fine. You can also try the WiFi QR code or go back to the QR code generator to see every type and customize colors and the logo.
