How to Create a QR Code

    Creating a QR code takes less than a minute. Follow these five steps to generate a custom, scannable QR code you can use anywhere — online or in print.

    Step 1: Choose Your Content Type

    Decide what the QR code should do when scanned. Common options include a website URL, a vCard contact, a WiFi network, an email address, a phone number, an SMS message, or plain text.

    Step 2: Enter Your Content

    Type or paste your destination URL or content into the generator. For a website QR code, include the full URL with https://. For a vCard, fill in name, phone, email, and company fields.

    Step 3: Customize the Design

    Pick colors that match your brand, upload a logo for the center, and choose an error correction level (Q or H if you're using a logo). Keep contrast high — dark code on a light background scans best.

    Step 4: Download Your QR Code

    Export as a high-resolution PNG (1024×1024 or larger) for print, or grab a smaller version for digital use. Always test the downloaded code with at least two phones before sending it to print.

    Step 5: Share or Print

    Drop the QR code into flyers, business cards, signs, packaging, or digital ads. For printed codes, keep them at least 0.8 inches wide and leave a quiet zone of white space around the edges.

    Bonus: Use a Dynamic QR Code

    If you may need to change the destination later (without reprinting), use a dynamic QR code. The printed image stays the same, but you can update where it sends people anytime — and see scan analytics in real time.
