How to Use This Tool

Step 1: Enter your content Type or paste any text or URL into the input box. The QR code generates automatically as you type — no need to click a button.

Step 2: Adjust the size Use the slider to set your QR code size between 50px and 500px. The tool shows an estimated print size at 300dpi so you can gauge how it’ll look on paper.

Step 3: Customize colors (optional)

• Click the Dot Color picker to change the QR pattern color
• Click the Background Color picker to change the backdrop
• Use the “Reset” buttons to return to default black-and-white

Step 4: Add a logo (optional) Click the upload area to add a PNG or JPEG logo. It’ll appear centered in your QR code. The tool automatically increases error correction so the code stays scannable.

Step 5: Choose a format and download Select PNG (best for most uses), JPEG (smaller file size), or SVG (scalable for print). Then click Download to save your file.

Example

• Input: https://example.com/menu
• Size: 300px
• Dot Color: #1a365d (dark blue)
• Background: #ffffff (white)
• Logo: Restaurant logo (100x100px PNG)
• Format: PNG

→ Result: A 300×300px QR code with a centered logo, ready to print on table tents or flyers.

Understanding Your QR Code

The preview area shows your code in real-time. Below it, you’ll see:

• Resolution (e.g., 300px × 300px)
• Estimated print size at 300dpi (e.g., ~2.5cm or 1″)

If your size drops below 128px, a warning appears — codes that small may not scan reliably when printed.

How QR Codes Work

QR (Quick Response) codes store data in a grid of black and white squares. When you scan one with your phone camera, it decodes the pattern and opens the linked content — a URL, text, contact info, or more.

This tool uses the standard QR encoding algorithm with automatic error correction:

• Without a logo: Medium error correction (can recover ~15% damage)
• With a logo: High error correction (can recover ~30% damage)

That’s why you can place a logo in the center without breaking the code.

Frequently Asked Questions（FAQ）

What is a QR code?

QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information. Unlike traditional barcodes, QR codes can hold URLs, plain text, contact details, and more. Most smartphones can scan them using the built-in camera.

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Yes. Upload any square PNG or JPEG image, and it’ll appear centered in your code. The tool switches to high error correction automatically, so the code remains scannable.

What format should I download?

PNG: Best for web, social media, and most print jobs

JPEG: Smaller file size, but slight quality loss

SVG: Vector format — scales infinitely without losing quality; ideal for large-format printing

Will the QR code expire?

No. QR codes generated here are static — they don’t rely on any external service. As long as the URL or content you encoded remains valid, the code works forever.

What’s the maximum text length?

This tool supports up to 2,331 bytes, which covers most URLs and short text. The progress bar under the input box shows how much capacity you’ve used.

Tips for Using QR Codes Effectively

1. Test before printing. Always scan your code with at least two different devices to confirm it works.

2. Maintain contrast. Dark dots on a light background scan best. Avoid low-contrast color combos like light gray on white.

3. Size matters. For print, aim for at least 1 inch (2.5cm) at 300dpi. Smaller codes may not scan reliably, especially from a distance.

4. Keep it simple. Shorter URLs produce simpler codes with fewer dots, which scan faster and more reliably. Consider using a URL shortener if needed.

5. Provide context. Add a brief call-to-action near your QR code (“Scan for menu,” “Get the app,” etc.) so people know what to expect.
