How to create a QR code

From content to a ready-to-use file in four quick steps

Choose the QR type

Pick a website, Wi-Fi network, vCard, email, phone, SMS, location, event or payment link.

Enter the details

Complete the relevant fields. The generator validates the information and updates the code as you type.

Tailor the design

Choose colours, a gradient, module style, image size, error correction and an optional frame.

Download your file

Use PNG for everyday digital use or scalable SVG for print, signage and professional artwork.

One generator for work and everyday life

Each option uses a widely supported QR data format, helping phones offer the right action after scanning.

Business and hospitality

Add a menu, booking page, review link or guest Wi-Fi code to a counter card, leaflet or packaging.

Networking

Turn a vCard into a scannable contact card for conferences, trade shows and email signatures.

Events and directions

Share a London meeting point, calendar invite or event page without asking people to type long details.

Frequently asked questions about QR codes

Practical answers on formats, printing, privacy and scanning

Choose a content type, enter the details and customise the design. The preview updates automatically; download the finished code as PNG or SVG. No account or payment is required.
No. This tool creates static QR codes, so the image itself has no expiry date. A linked webpage or payment page must, however, remain available.
PNG is convenient for websites, documents and social posts. SVG stays sharp at any size and is the better choice for print, signs, labels and design software.
No. QR generation happens locally in your browser. The details you enter are not sent to calcy.eu or stored by this tool.
Q is a sensible general-purpose choice. L and M allow more data; H is more resilient to damage but creates a denser code. Always test the final artwork.
Select Wi-Fi, enter the exact network name (SSID), security type and password. A compatible phone can then offer to join the network after scanning.
Yes, provided the code remains clearly darker than its background. Avoid weak contrast and test printed and on-screen versions with more than one phone.
Only use an official HTTPS payment link from your bank or payment provider. Scan the finished code yourself and verify the domain, recipient and amount before publishing it.

Custom QR code generator for links, Wi-Fi, contacts and more

QR codes turn a camera scan into a useful action: opening a page, joining Wi-Fi, saving a contact, preparing a message, showing a map location or adding an event to a calendar.

This free QR code generator supports eleven common formats, including App Store and Google Play links, vCard contacts, email, telephone, SMS and secure HTTPS payment links. Changes appear instantly in the live preview.

For UK businesses, QR codes work well on menus, table talkers, invoices, product inserts and event signage. Use a concise destination URL and make sure the landing page is mobile-friendly.

PNG is practical for normal digital use; SVG is resolution-independent and preferred by printers and designers. Leave a clear quiet zone around the code and do not stretch or crop the exported artwork.

Before publishing, test the exact final size in typical lighting with both iPhone and Android devices. More data creates a denser pattern, while a larger image and suitable error correction improve real-world scanning.
