How to Use the QR Code Generator

Type or paste any URL or text into the input field above. Your QR code is generated in real time as you type — no button press or form submission needed. It's a live preview: the QR redraws the instant you paste a URL or text. Click an example chip above the input (URL / email / phone / plain text) to fill in a sample and see the QR appear immediately.

Try it: turn a URL into a QR and open it on your phone

  1. Enter https://benri.dev in the input field (or click the "URL" example chip).
  2. A 256×256 px QR code appears on the right straight away.
  3. Open your phone's camera app and point it at the QR code on screen. A notification like "Open https://benri.dev" appears at the top or bottom — tap it to open the page in your browser.
  4. To print and hand it out, press "Download PNG"; to paste it into another app, press "Copy Image".
  • URL: Enter a web address starting with https:// to create a scannable QR code that opens the page directly on a smartphone camera.
  • Text: You can also encode plain text such as messages, addresses, or Wi-Fi credentials.
  • Size: Choose 128, 256, or 512 px to match your use case. 512 px is recommended for printed materials.
  • Error Correction Level: Choose Q or H if you plan to overlay a logo or if the printed code might get dirty — this improves scan reliability. M works well for most everyday uses.
  • Margin: Adjust the quiet zone (the white border) around the QR code.
  • Foreground / Background: Create a color-branded QR code to match your brand identity. Make sure there is enough contrast between the two colors for reliable scanning.
  • Download PNG / Copy Image: Save the generated QR code as an image file, or copy it to the clipboard to paste straight into a document or chat. Great for flyers, business cards, or in-store signage.

If you want a "scan to connect" QR for your Wi-Fi SSID and password, the dedicated Wi-Fi QR Code Generator builds it for you without worrying about the exact format.

Common Use Cases

  • Add a QR code linking to your website on a flyer or business card
  • Print a social media profile QR code for in-store displays
  • Share an event registration URL as a QR code at a venue
  • Encode Wi-Fi SSID and password into a QR code for guests

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my URL or text sent to any server?
No. QR code generation happens entirely in your browser. Your input is never sent to or stored on any external server, so you can safely use URLs containing sensitive or private information.
Which error correction level should I choose?
M (medium, 15%) is the best choice for most everyday uses. If you plan to overlay a logo or image on the code, or the printed copy might get dirty or damaged, choose Q (25%) or H (30%) to improve scan reliability. The code will become denser, so using a larger size is recommended.
Does it work on smartphones?
Yes. The tool works in any modern browser on smartphones, tablets, and PCs. No installation or account registration is required.
