Turn a website address, message, phone number, or email into a scannable QR code.
What Is a QR Code?
A QR code is a small two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned with a smartphone camera. It can store a website address, a short message, contact information, a phone number, or other simple text. Because people can scan it without typing, QR codes are useful in both digital and printed materials.
Common Uses for QR Codes
Businesses often place QR codes on menus, posters, product packaging, business cards, and event tickets. Individuals can use them to share a website, send guests to an online invitation, or make a contact detail easier to access. Teachers and students can also use QR codes to connect printed materials with online resources.
How to Create a QR Code
Enter the information you want to share in the box above. For a website, include the complete address beginning with “https://”. Click “Generate QR Code” and scan the result with your phone to make sure it opens correctly. You can then download the image and use it in a document, presentation, poster, or website.
Tips for Better QR Codes
Keep the information short when possible, use a clear background, and avoid making the downloaded image too small. Always test a QR code before printing it. A code that works on a bright phone screen may be more difficult to scan when it is printed with low contrast or placed on a busy background.
