URL QR Code Generator

Make a custom QR code in seconds — free, no signup, no watermark. This URL QR code generator turns any link into a scannable code, and it also makes Wi-Fi QR codes, Google Maps QR codes and plain-text codes. Style it with your own colors, and download it as a crisp PNG or an infinitely scalable SVG.

Perfect for business cards, menus, Wi-Fi sharing, event tickets, and product packaging. The code is generated entirely on your device, so your links stay private.

🔒 Your text never leaves your device — 100% private, no uploads.

Print-ready — the PNG exports at the exact pixel size you pick, and the SVG scales to any size without blurring. A quiet zone (white margin) is included automatically so scanners read it reliably.

How to make a QR code

  1. Type or paste your text or link into the box above — a website URL, Wi-Fi details, or plain text all work.
  2. Pick your colors, size, and error-correction level. The preview updates instantly as you change options.
  3. Press Download PNG for a ready-to-print image, or Download SVG for a vector file that scales forever.

What can a QR code hold?

Quite a lot. A single code can store a website link, a block of text up to a few thousand characters, contact details, or a Wi-Fi network name and password. Longer content makes a denser code with smaller squares, so keep links short when the code will be printed small — a URL shortener helps, or just use the medium error-correction setting for a good balance.

How to make a Wi-Fi QR code

Choose Wi-Fi network from the code-type menu, type your network name (SSID) and password, and pick the security type your router uses — WPA/WPA2 for most home networks. This wifi qr code generator packs it all into one code: guests point their phone camera at it and join the network without typing a password. Print it once and stick it on the fridge or the café counter — it never expires, and you can re-download it as PNG or SVG any time.

How to make a QR code for Google Maps

Choose Google Maps link, then paste the link to any place — open it in Google Maps, tap Share, and copy the link. This google map qr code generator turns that link into a code anyone can scan to open the exact location in Maps, which makes it ideal for wedding venues, shop fronts, meeting points, and property listings. Because the code just stores the link, it keeps working as long as the Maps link does.

PNG or SVG: which download should you pick?

For screens, social posts, and everyday printing, PNG is the simplest choice — pick the pixel size that matches where the code will appear. For logos, signage, and anything that might be printed large, use the SVG download instead: a qr generator svg export is a vector file, so it stays razor-sharp from a business card to a billboard, and a designer can recolor it in Illustrator or Inkscape.

Which error-correction level should I choose?

Error correction lets a QR code survive smudges, folds, and partial obstruction. Medium (15%) is the right default for screens and clean prints. Choose High (30%) for codes printed on packaging, outdoor signs, or anything that might get scuffed — the code gets slightly denser, but scanners forgive far more damage.

Will my QR code expire?

No. The code itself is just a pattern that encodes your text — there is no account, no subscription, and nothing to renew. As long as the link or text it points to still works, the code scans forever. Because CrunchyPic adds no watermark and no tracking redirect, the code you download is yours permanently.

Frequently asked questions

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes — unlimited codes, no signup, no watermark, no catch. The generator runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to pay for and no account to create.

Do my QR codes expire?

No. A QR code is simply your text encoded as a pattern — there is no server, subscription, or redirect involved. As long as the encoded link or text is still valid, the code scans forever.

What is the difference between PNG and SVG download?

PNG is a fixed-pixel image, ideal for screens and everyday printing at the size you selected. SVG is a vector file: it stays razor-sharp at any size, from a business card to a billboard, and designers can recolor it in tools like Illustrator or Inkscape.

Will scanners read a colored QR code?

Yes, as long as there is strong contrast between the code and the background — dark code on a light background works best. Avoid light-on-light or low-contrast combinations, and test-scan before printing a large batch.

What does error correction do?

It adds redundancy so the code still scans when part of it is damaged, dirty, or covered. Medium (15%) suits most uses; High (30%) is best for packaging and outdoor signage that takes a beating.

Is my text or link uploaded anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated locally in your browser with an embedded library — your input never leaves your device, and no signup is required.

How do I make a Wi-Fi QR code?

Choose Wi-Fi network from the code-type menu, type your network name (SSID) and password, and pick your security type — WPA/WPA2 for most home networks. Guests scan the code and join your network without typing the password, and the code never expires.

Can I make a QR code for a Google Maps location?

Yes. Choose Google Maps link, paste the link to the place — open it in Google Maps, tap Share, then Copy link — and download the code. Scanning it opens that exact location in Google Maps, which is ideal for venues, shop fronts, and meeting points.
