Generate a scannable QR code from text or a URL.
QR codes are commonly used for restaurant menus, product packaging, event tickets and check-ins, business cards, Wi-Fi network sharing, and linking print materials to a website or video. Because a QR code is just an encoded version of the text or URL you enter, it never expires and works without an internet connection to generate — only scanning it requires the destination (like a website) to be reachable.
No. A QR code generated from a fixed URL or text string works indefinitely, as long as that URL or content still exists. If you link to a webpage and later delete that page, the QR code itself won't expire, but scanning it will lead to a broken link.
A URL opens a webpage when scanned. Plain text (like a Wi-Fi password or a short message) displays directly on the scanning device instead of opening a browser.
For most print materials, at least 1×1 inch (2.5×2.5cm) at 300 DPI ensures reliable scanning from a normal reading distance. Larger codes scan more reliably from farther away.
Yes, as long as you scale it proportionally and don't compress it so much that the pattern becomes blurry or pixelated.
Very long text or URLs make the QR code pattern denser and harder to scan reliably. Keep URLs short (consider a URL shortener) for the most reliable scans.
Generate a scannable QR code from text or a URL for menus, packaging, event check-ins, and share links. Enter the content, create the code, and download an image you can print or embed. No design software—just a clear QR ready for real-world scanning.
Paste the link or string you want encoded in the QR code.
Squeeze encodes your content into a scannable matrix image.
Confirm the QR looks sharp enough for print or screen use.
Save the file to place on flyers, packaging, or digital pages.
