Create a QR code from a URL and customize its color, recognition quality, and overall shape: square, rounded, arch, or heart. Arch and heart are styled codes that add decoration around an intact QR core and lock error correction to maximum for reliable scanning. The result is re-decoded in your browser before you download it as PNG or SVG, and your URL is never sent to a server.
Enter a URL to preview the QR code.
A QR code is a square pattern that turns a long link into something a camera can open in one step. Print a web address on a business card or flyer and people have to type it out; add a QR code and they just point their phone's camera at it to open the page. That's why they show up wherever paper meets screen: store menus, event signage, product packaging, wedding invitations, presentation slides.
This generator creates a QR code the moment you enter a URL, and lets you adjust the color, module shape, and recognition quality. You can download the finished code as a PNG suited to printing, or as an SVG: a vector format that stays crisp at any size.
You can recolor and decorate a QR code, but overdo it and it stops scanning. For reliable reads there needs to be enough contrast between the code's dark modules and the light background, and a margin of empty space (the quiet zone) around it. Make the background too close in color to the code, or crop away the margin, and a camera can't find it.
This tool's styled shapes like arch and heart keep the QR core intact and add decoration only around it, locking error correction to maximum for reliability. Higher error correction means the code can still be read even when part of it is covered by a logo or ornament. Even so, always scan the code with a real phone before printing.
A QR code sometimes carries a URL you'd rather not publicize yet: a private event invite, an unlisted page. This generator does both the encoding and the scan verification inside your browser and never transmits or stores the link you enter.
The codes it makes are also static: they embed your address directly rather than routing through another service. That means there's no third party that could shut down and leave your code dead: as long as the printed code exists, it keeps working.
Always use SVG for print; PNG softens at the edges when scaled up and scans less reliably. Level H stays readable with roughly 30% of the code damaged, which suits table codes that pick up fingerprints and spills.
Longer URLs pack the modules more densely and fail at small print sizes. For tight layouts, shorten the URL first and then generate the code.
The foreground must be darker than the background. Light foregrounds or low contrast stop the camera separating the modules. After any color change, test with a real phone.
What it is, who it's for, how it works and why you'd use it.
The QR Code Generator is a browser tool that turns a URL into a QR code and lets you customize its color and overall shape: square, rounded, arch, or heart.
It is for people who need to place web links in documents, printed materials, store signage, invitations, event content, or digital media.
It builds an intact QR core from the URL, forms arch or heart shapes by adding decorative cells around that core, and re-decodes the result in your browser to confirm it scans.
It makes styled QR codes suited to invitations and print without sending the URL to a server, ready to download as PNG or SVG.
