How to use QR Code Generator

Step 1. Choose URL, Text, Email, Phone, or WiFi as the content type.
Step 2. Enter the required value for that type; email and phone need a non-empty address or number, and Wi-Fi needs an SSID.
Step 3. For a URL, include http:// or https:// when you want scanners to recognize it as a web destination.
Step 4. Adjust size, error correction, margin, and colors as needed, then review the generated preview.
Step 5. For Wi-Fi, choose WPA / WPA2, WEP, or No password and set Hidden network only when it matches the network configuration.
Step 6. Download PNG or SVG, or use Copy image only when that button is available in your browser.

Why use this tool?

Create QR payloads for URLs, plain text, email, phone numbers, and Wi-Fi credentials.
Build email QR codes with optional subject and message fields, or Wi-Fi QR codes with encryption and hidden-network settings.
Choose 256, 512, or 1024 pixel output along with Low, Medium, Quartile, or High error correction.
Adjust the margin and foreground or background colors before the browser-side preview is generated.
Download the generated code as PNG or SVG.
Copy the PNG image when the browser exposes the required Clipboard image APIs.

Common problems this tool helps with

Situations where this workflow saves time.

Generate does nothing with blank content - each mode needs a non-empty required field before the code can be created.

A URL QR code opens as plain text - the tool warns when the URL lacks http:// or https://, and some scanners may not treat it as a web link.

An email address or phone number is not usable after scanning - generation checks only that the field is non-empty; verify the actual address or number yourself.

Long content is harder to scan or fails to generate - the tool warns above 1,000 characters, and the qrcode library can reject content that exceeds the selected configuration's capacity.

High error correction leaves less room for content - shorten the payload or lower the error-correction setting if generation fails.

A custom color is ignored - only #RGB, #RRGGBB, or six hexadecimal digits are accepted; other values fall back to the default black or white.

Copy image is missing or fails - it requires navigator.clipboard.write and ClipboardItem support; download PNG remains a separate option.

SVG export fails - try shorter content, different colors, or a different error-correction setting, then export again.

You need an SMS QR code or a logo in the middle - neither mode nor logo embedding is implemented.

Frequently asked questions

Which QR content types are available?

The available modes are URL, Text, Email, Phone, and WiFi. SMS, contact-card, and logo-embedding modes are not implemented.

What is stored in an email QR code?

The tool builds a mailto: value from the email address. Optional subject and message fields are encoded as URL query parameters.

Does the tool validate a destination URL?

It only warns when a non-empty URL does not begin with http:// or https://. The QR code still contains the entered text, so test the destination before publishing it.

How do Wi-Fi QR codes work here?

Enter an SSID, optional password, encryption choice (WPA / WPA2, WEP, or No password), and the hidden-network setting. The tool creates a WIFI: payload and escapes backslashes, semicolons, commas, colons, and quotes in the SSID and password.

Which design controls are available?

You can select 256, 512, or 1024 pixels; Low, Medium, Quartile, or High error correction; a margin from 0 through 8; and dark and light colors.

What files can I export?

A generated preview can be downloaded as qr-code.png or qr-code.svg. PNG comes from the generated data URL, while SVG is generated separately by the qrcode library.

Why is Copy image unavailable even though Download PNG works?

The Copy image button is rendered only when the browser provides both navigator.clipboard.write and ClipboardItem. PNG download uses a separate browser download link.

Is there a hard text-length limit?

The UI has no fixed character cap. It warns once the QR payload exceeds 1,000 characters, and generation can still fail when content exceeds the capacity for the selected error correction and settings.

Will every generated QR code scan everywhere?

No. The tool provides a QR image, but long payloads, color contrast, printing, camera quality, and the scanning app can affect results. Test the exported code in the environment where it will be used.

How is the QR image generated?

The client component calls the qrcode library to create the PNG data URL and SVG text in the browser. The implementation does not send the payload to a QR generation endpoint.
