What Is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that can store text, URLs, contact details, or other short data, readable instantly by any smartphone camera. This generator creates a standard, scannable QR code entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to any server.
Choosing an Error Correction Level
QR codes include built-in error correction so they can still be scanned even if part of the code is damaged, dirty, or partially covered (for example, by a logo). Higher error correction levels add more redundancy, which makes the code more resilient but also visually denser.
| Level | Approx. Data Recovery | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| L (Low) | ~7% | Clean digital displays, maximum data capacity |
| M (Medium) | ~15% | General-purpose use (default) |
| Q (Quartile) | ~25% | Printed codes exposed to some wear |
| H (High) | ~30% | Codes with a logo overlay or outdoor use |
Common Uses for QR Codes
- Linking print materials (flyers, menus, business cards) to a website instantly
- Sharing Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards, or event details
- Contactless payments, event ticketing, and product packaging
