QR Code Generator
Turn a link or any text into a QR code you can print or share. The code is built in your browser, so nothing you type leaves your device.
FreeNo sign-upThe QR code is encoded in your browser. Your text is not sent to InsightToolz or any other service.
How do you use the QR Code Generator?
- Type or paste the text or URL you want the code to open.
- Choose a size, an error correction level and your colours. Keep the foreground darker than the background.
- Scan the preview with your phone, then click Download PNG or Download SVG.
Which error correction level should I pick?
Higher levels let a scanner read the code even when part of it is dirty, damaged or covered, but they make the code denser. M suits most screens and prints, while Q or H is safer for codes on packaging or outdoor signs.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
PNG is a fixed size image that works almost everywhere, such as slides and social posts. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size, which suits printed materials and design tools.
What else do people ask about the QR Code Generator?
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The code stores your text directly, so it works for as long as the link or text inside it is still valid. There is no redirect service in between.
Can I track scans of this QR code?
Not from the code itself. Add UTM parameters to the link before you create the code, and your analytics tool will report visits from it as their own campaign.
Why will my coloured QR code not scan?
Most scanners need strong contrast, with a dark foreground on a light background. Inverted or pale colour pairs often fail, so test with more than one phone before printing.
How much text fits in a QR code?
The limit depends on the error correction level. At level L a code holds a little under 3,000 bytes of text, and at level H a little under 1,300 bytes, but short links scan much more easily.
