  • Type or paste your link or text into the tool above.
  • The QR code updates instantly as you type.
  • Download it as an image to print, share or add to a design.

Tips for QR codes that scan well

Keep enough plain margin (quiet zone) around the code and print it large enough — small, cluttered codes are hard to scan.

Test the code with a couple of phones before printing a batch, especially if you'll place it on packaging or a poster.
