What Can You Encode?
URLs
Link to any website, app store page or landing page.
Plain text
Display a message, instructions or any text when scanned.
Email
Encode a mailto: link to open a pre-addressed email.
Phone number
Encode tel: to prompt a call when scanned.
Wi-Fi credentials
Allow guests to join Wi-Fi by scanning — no password typing.
Contact card (vCard)
Share your contact details that add directly to the address book.
How to Use It
1
Open the tool
Go to Dev Utilities and scroll to the QR Code Generator.
2
Enter your content
Type or paste the URL, text or Wi-Fi credentials you want to encode. The QR code preview updates live.
3
Adjust settings
Set the size and error correction level (L/M/Q/H). Higher error correction = more robust but denser code.
4
Download
Download as PNG for web/digital use or SVG for print and vector applications.
Pro Tips
💡Use short URLs (via a URL shortener) to keep the QR code simpler and easier to scan. Long URLs create dense, small modules.
💡For print use, always test-scan the QR code at the intended print size before sending to print. Codes smaller than 2cm × 2cm may not scan reliably.
💡Use error correction level H when overlaying a logo — it allows up to 30% of the code to be covered while still scanning correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can a QR code contain?
URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi credentials, vCard contacts and calendar events. Encoding a URL is the most common use case.
What is error correction level?
L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%) — how much of the code can be damaged and still scan. Use L or M for clean digital use; H when adding a logo overlay.
PNG vs SVG?
PNG for web and screen use. SVG for print — it scales to any size without pixelation, perfect for posters, cards and packaging.
Can I add a logo?
Yes — place a logo in the centre (cover up to ~25%). Use error correction level H to ensure the code remains scannable despite the covered area.
