How to Create a QR Code

Generate custom QR codes for websites, WiFi, and more

Quick Answer

Use qr-code-generator.com or qrcode-monkey.com. Enter URL/content, customize colors, download PNG or SVG. Test before printing!

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Choose a QR Code Generator

Go to qr-code-generator.com, qrcode-monkey.com, or the-qrcode-generator.com. All free, no signup required.

💡QRCode Monkey offers the most customization (colors, logos, shapes).
2

Enter Your Content

Select type (URL, text, WiFi, contact, etc.). Enter the information. Preview updates automatically.

💡URLs must include https://. WiFi codes need network name, password, and encryption type.
3

Customize Appearance (Optional)

Change colors, add logo, adjust shape of dots and corners. Ensure contrast is high enough to scan.

💡Dark on light works best. Test before printing!

Download and Test

Download as PNG, SVG, or PDF. Test with your phone camera before distributing.

💡SVG is best for print (scalable). PNG for web/digital use.
