Higher error correction still scans when the code is dirty or partly covered, but makes it denser.

How to create a QR code

  1. Choose what the code should contain: a website link, plain text, a Wi-Fi network or a contact card (vCard).
  2. Fill in the details. The QR code preview updates as you type.
  3. Style it (optional). Pick the code and background colours, the size of the PNG, the white border around the code and the error correction level.
  4. Test it. Point your phone camera at the preview on your screen to make sure it opens what you expect.
  5. Download the QR code as a PNG image or an SVG vector file, ready to print or share.

Features

  • Four QR code types: website links, text, Wi-Fi login (WPA, WEP or open networks, including hidden networks) and vCard contact cards with name, phone, email, company, job title, website and address.
  • Live preview that updates as you type.
  • Custom colours for the code and the background, with an automatic contrast warning.
  • PNG download from 128 up to 2048 pixels, and SVG download for sharp printing at any size.
  • Adjustable quiet zone and four error correction levels.
  • Static codes that never expire. There is no account, no subscription and no redirect.

Why use Fileora's QR code generator

Many free QR code websites create "dynamic" codes that send every scan through their own servers. That lets them count your scans, but it also means your printed menus, flyers and business cards stop working if the service shuts down or starts charging. Fileora creates standard static QR codes: the information is inside the code itself, so it works with every phone camera and QR scanner, forever.

Everything is generated in your browser. Your Wi-Fi password, phone number and address are never sent anywhere, which matters when you're making a code for your home network or personal contact card. There is no watermark, no logo stamped on your code, and no limit on how many you create.

Pair it with our other tools: send people a strong password for a guest network, or add your QR code to a document and compress the PDF before emailing it.

Tips for QR codes that always scan

Print the code at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inches), and larger if people will scan it from a distance. A good rule is one centimetre of code for every ten centimetres of scanning distance. Keep the white border (the quiet zone) around the code: cropping it off is the most common reason printed codes fail. Shorter links produce simpler codes that scan faster, so use your page's short address where you can. Finally, always test a printed proof with two different phones before printing hundreds of copies.

Frequently asked questions

Do these QR codes expire?

No. The QR codes are static: the link, text or Wi-Fi details are stored directly inside the code itself, not on a server. They will keep working forever, and there is no subscription that can switch them off.

How do I make a QR code for my Wi-Fi network?

Choose the Wi-Fi tab, enter your network name and password, and pick the security type (most home and office routers use WPA/WPA2). Print the code or show it on a screen. Guests point their phone camera at it and join without typing the password.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

Use PNG for websites, documents, WhatsApp and social media. Choose a size of 1024 pixels or more for printing. Use SVG for professional printing, signage and design software. SVG is a vector format, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size, from a business card to a billboard.

Can I change the colours of my QR code?

Yes. You can choose any colour for the code and the background. Keep the code dark and the background light with strong contrast, because some phone cameras struggle with light codes on dark backgrounds or low-contrast colours. The tool warns you if your colours might not scan.

Is my information stored or tracked?

No. The QR code is generated in your browser and nothing you type is sent to our servers. Unlike some QR services, we don't route your link through a redirect, so we can't track scans, and your code never depends on us.

What does error correction mean?

Error correction adds backup data so a QR code can still be read if part of it is dirty, damaged or covered. Medium (15%) is right for most uses. Choose High or Highest for codes printed on outdoor signs, packaging or anything that might get scratched.
