How to create a great QR code
A QR code encodes a URL (or any text) into a machine-readable pattern. When scanned, smartphones decode the pattern and open the destination instantly. QR codes are error-corrected — they can still be read even if up to 30% of the code is obscured, which is why adding a centre logo doesn't break scanning.
For best scan rates, shorten your destination URL before generating the code. Short URLs encode into simpler, less dense patterns — easier to scan in low light or at a distance.
QR code design tips
Frequently asked questions
Are the QR codes free forever?+
Yes. QR codes generated here are yours to keep and use indefinitely. There's no expiry, no watermark, and no account required.
What file formats can I download?+
You can download your QR code as a PNG. For high-resolution print use, generate at the largest size available — QR codes scale cleanly because they're geometric.
Can I add a logo to my QR code?+
Yes — the QR generator supports adding a centre logo image. Keep the logo under 30% of the QR code area to ensure it remains scannable.
What's the best QR code size for print?+
For print materials, the QR code should be at least 2×2 cm (roughly 0.8×0.8 inches). Larger is better — most modern smartphones scan QR codes at arm's length without issue.
Should I shorten the URL inside the QR code?+
Yes. Shorter URLs produce simpler, less dense QR codes that scan faster and more reliably. Use the LinkSqueeze shortener to create a clean URL, then generate the QR code from the short link.
