FREE TOOL
QR code generator
Create QR codes for a website, Wi-Fi, a contact card, email, phone or SMS. Add colours and a logo, then download a print-ready file. Codes are static: they never expire and nothing sits in between.
What the QR code holds
Appearance
Error correction
A higher level keeps the code readable when it is partly dirty or worn; the pattern gets a little denser.
Adding a logo switches error correction to the highest level.
Enter the content; the code appears here.
Scan the code with your own phone before printing.
Knowing whether a code gets scanned
A static code does not count scans by itself. Add source tags to the address it opens and visitors from the code show up as their own line in your analytics: you can tell which leaflet, table or pack they came from.
Build the tagged address with the UTM builder and paste it here. For a code that opens a WhatsApp chat, use the WhatsApp link generator.
Common questions
Choose what the code should hold (a website, Wi-Fi, a contact card, email, phone or SMS) and fill in the details. The code updates as you type; download it as PNG or SVG.
No. This tool creates static codes: the link or details sit inside the code itself, with no server of ours or anyone else’s in between. Some “free” generators route codes through their own short links and stop them working when a trial ends; a static code has no such dependency.
A static code is its content; it cannot be changed after printing but depends on no service. A dynamic code holds a redirect link, so the destination can be changed and scans counted, but it stops working if the redirect service shuts down. For most businesses, a static code pointing to a UTM-tagged address is enough to measure scans.
The code holds the network name, security type and password in the WIFI: format phones recognise. An iPhone or Android camera offers to join the network when it reads the code; guests do not have to type the password.
A common rule is a side length of one tenth of the scanning distance: around 3 cm for a table card read from 30 cm. Do not go below 2 cm on a business card, and do not trim the blank margin around the code. The SVG file stays sharp at any size.
A logo covers part of the code, so error correction is set to the highest level and the logo takes up no more than 22 percent of the width. Still, scan it with a few phones before printing.
LET'S TALK
Let’s measure the visitors your printed material brings.
On the first call we look at how to see how many people arrive from a leaflet, pack or window code, and whether they turn into enquiries.
