What Can You Put in a QR Code?
QR codes can encode many types of data:
- URLs — link to your website, landing page, or social media
- Plain text — share messages, notes, or codes
- WiFi credentials — let guests connect instantly by scanning
- Email — pre-fill the recipient, subject, and body
- SMS — compose a text message ready to send
- Contact cards (vCard) — share your name, phone, email, and company
QR Code Best Practices
- Ensure good contrast between QR color and background
- Test your QR code on multiple devices before printing
- Use a larger size for print materials (at least 2cm x 2cm)
- Keep the encoded data short for faster scanning
- Add a quiet zone (white border) around the QR code
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. Generate unlimited QR codes for personal or commercial use.
Do the QR codes expire?
No. QR codes generated here are static — they encode data directly and never expire. They work forever.
Can I use QR codes for commercial purposes?
