Free QR Code
Generator
Create custom, high-resolution QR codes in seconds. Add your logo, pick your colors, and download instantly — completely free, forever.
Your QR code, but smarter
Dynamic QR Codes let you change the destination anytime, track every scan in real-time, and route people by location, time, or device — all without reprinting a single code. Upgrade whenever you're ready.
Three steps, zero friction
Enter your content
Paste your website link — any URL works.
Customize the design
Choose colors, patterns, eye shapes, and optionally add your own logo.
Download and use
Export as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF in high resolution — ready to print or share.
Create a QR code: free, no sign-up and no watermark
With the QRlogic QR code generator you can create your own QR code in seconds — right here on the page, with no account, no email address and no watermark. Enter a link or text, adjust colors, patterns and corner shapes, add your logo if you like, and download the result as PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF.
The generator is made for anyone who needs a clean, reliably scannable code quickly: for a restaurant menu, a business card, a poster, product packaging or your own website. The QR codes never expire because the content is stored in the code itself, and you can export them at up to 4096 × 4096 pixels — sharp enough for flyers and large-format print alike.
What is a QR code and how does it work?
A QR code (short for “Quick Response”) is a two-dimensional code made of black and white squares. It can store information such as a web address, a piece of text or contact details, and a smartphone camera reads it in a fraction of a second. The three large squares at the corners help the camera detect the code and work out its orientation.
To scan a code, the regular camera app on current iPhones and most Android phones is enough: open the camera, point it at the code and tap the link that appears. In most cases you don't need an extra app.
QR codes also contain built-in error correction. They stay readable even if a small part is damaged or covered — which is why a small logo in the middle usually works.
Static or dynamic QR code — which one fits you?
There are two kinds of QR codes. The difference decides whether you can still change the destination later.
Static QR code
The content is stored directly in the code. This is the code you create here for free.
- Free, no account and no expiry date
- Ideal for links and text that won't change
- The destination can't be changed after creation, and scans are not counted
Dynamic QR code
The code points to a short address behind which you can swap the destination at any time.
- Change the destination any time — without reprinting
- Analyze scans by time, location and device
- Smart rules: redirect by location, time of day or device
Planning printed materials, or want to know how often your code is scanned? Choose a dynamic code from the start, because a static code can't be converted afterwards.
What can you use your QR code for?
A QR code connects print with the internet. Typical uses:
Menus and hospitality
Guests open the menu or today's special right at the table. If your menu changes often, a dynamic code is more practical.
Business cards and flyers
Link your website, a contact form or your portfolio so nobody has to type an address.
Events
Program, registration, venue map or photo gallery: a code on the poster or ticket takes visitors to the right page.
Products and packaging
Manuals, warranty details and product information are one scan away — without making the packaging bigger.
Shop windows and posters
Passers-by land directly in your online shop, on an offer or on your review page.
Social media and websites
Lead people from print or screen to your profile, your channel or your newsletter.
How to make your QR code scan reliably
A good-looking QR code is useless if it won't scan. These six rules keep you on the safe side:
Strong contrast
Use a dark color for the code and a light background. Light patterns on a dark background, or colors that are too similar, are hard for many scanners to read.
Enough size
For print, about 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in) is the lower limit. As a rule of thumb, the code should be about one tenth of the scanning distance: a poster scanned from 2 meters (6.5 ft) needs a code around 20 cm (8 in) wide.
Keep a quiet zone
Leave a blank margin of at least four modules, which is the width of four of the small squares, around the code. Text, images or edges right next to it make detection harder.
Keep the logo small
Thanks to error correction, a small logo in the center may cover part of the code. The bigger the logo, the riskier it gets — test any code with a logo extra carefully.
Keep the content short
Short links create a coarser pattern with fewer squares. It scans faster and from further away.
Test before you print
Scan the finished code with at least two phones, ideally an iPhone and an Android, and from the distance it will be scanned from later.
Which file format and resolution should you choose?
All formats are free. Which one is best depends on how you will use the code:
PNG
Sharp edges and lossless quality. The best choice for websites, social media, presentations and most print jobs.
JPEG
Smaller files, but compression can slightly blur the edges. Fine for quick sharing, a second choice for print.
SVG
A vector format that scales to any size without losing quality. Ideal for posters, stickers, signs and anything a print shop will process.
Handy if you want to print the code straight away.
For PNG, JPEG and PDF you also choose the resolution: 512 × 512 pixels is enough for web and social media, 1024 × 1024 for everyday use, 2048 × 2048 for print and 4096 × 4096 for large-format print. If in doubt, pick a higher resolution or SVG.
Privacy: no account, no tracking when scanned
The free generator needs no account and no email address. The static QR codes created here contain your content directly: people who scan them are not routed through QRlogic, so we neither see nor count those scans.
Keep in mind that anyone who gets hold of the code can read its content, so never store passwords or confidential data in a QR code. QRlogic is hosted in Germany and is GDPR-compliant. Our guide explains what that means for dynamic QR codes.
