Generate QR codeQR code generator with PNG, SVG and PDF export
A QR code packs a link, a block of text, a Wi-Fi password or a contact card into a square that any phone camera can read. They have moved from a novelty to a workhorse: restaurant menus, event tickets, product packaging, business cards and payment requests all rely on them. A good QR code generator does more than produce a square; it lets you brand it, size it correctly and export it in the format your printer or website needs.
This free generator creates high-resolution QR codes with your choice of colours and gradients, an optional centre logo and error-correction that keeps the code readable even when part of it is covered. Export a crisp SVG for print at any size, a PNG for the web, or a PDF for documents, all rendered locally in your browser.
Because generation happens on your device, the data you encode, whether a private URL, a Wi-Fi password or a contact card, never leaves your machine. There is no account, no expiry and no scan tracking.
A QR code generator turns a URL, text, Wi-Fi credential or vCard into a scannable square image. ToolGuest creates branded codes with colours, gradients and logos, exporting PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF entirely in the browser. It is free, needs no signup, never expires and tracks nothing.
Why a well-made QR code keeps working
Contrast and quiet zone decide whether a code scans. A code printed in two similar colours, or placed without a margin of white space around it, will fail on many phones. A generator that shows a live preview and enforces a sane contrast ratio saves you from printing a thousand unusable labels.
Export format matters more than people expect. A PNG is perfect for a website but blurs when a printer scales it up. An SVG is a vector, so it stays razor-sharp at any size and is the right choice for posters, packaging and signage. Offering both, plus a PDF for documents, means you always have the correct file.
Error correction is the quiet insurance policy. It lets a QR code remain readable even when up to about a third of its surface is damaged or covered, which is what allows a logo to sit in the centre without breaking the scan. Choosing the right level balances robustness against density.
Branded by design
Set foreground and background colours, apply a gradient and drop a logo into the centre while keeping the code scannable.

QR code questions, answered
What can a QR code contain?
Almost any short string of text: a website URL, plain text, a Wi-Fi network name and password, an email address, a phone number or a vCard contact record. The phone decides how to act on it based on what it reads.
Do my QR codes expire?
No. The generator encodes your data directly into the image rather than pointing at a redirect service, so the code keeps working for as long as the destination exists. There is no account and no subscription to lapse.
Why should I use SVG instead of PNG?
SVG is a vector format, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size and is ideal for print. PNG is a bitmap and blurs when scaled up, which suits screens but not large printed material.
How do I keep a QR code scannable with a logo?
Use a high error-correction level, keep the logo small and central, and maintain strong contrast between the foreground and background. The live preview lets you check the result before you export.
What is the ideal contrast?
Dark foreground on a light background scans most reliably. Avoid low-contrast pairs such as light grey on white, and always leave a clear margin of white space around the code.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The code is generated entirely in your browser. Your URLs, Wi-Fi passwords and contact details are never transmitted, stored or logged.
Is there a limit on how many codes I can make?
No. There is no account and no quota, so you can generate as many codes as you need.
Is the tool free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no signup and carries no ads or tracking.
