How it works
This tool generates QR codes using the goqr.me API. Your text or URL is encoded into the request, and the API returns a PNG image of the QR code. You can choose from three sizes and download the result as a PNG file. QR codes can store URLs, plain text, contact info, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do QR codes work?
QR (Quick Response) codes encode text data into a two-dimensional barcode pattern. Phone cameras and scanners decode the pattern back into text. QR codes use error correction so they still work even if partially damaged or obscured.
What can I put in a QR code?
QR codes can encode any text: URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi credentials, plain text, vCard contacts, and more. The maximum capacity is about 4,000 characters for text or 7,000 digits for numeric data.
Is there a size limit for QR code content?
Technically, QR codes can hold up to ~4,000 alphanumeric characters, but larger content creates denser codes that are harder to scan. For best results, keep URLs short and text concise. URL shorteners can help.
Can I customize QR code colors?
Yes, QR codes work as long as there is sufficient contrast between the foreground and background colors. The dark modules need to be significantly darker than the light modules. Avoid low-contrast combinations that scanners might not read.
