How do I make a QR code for my Wi-Fi?

Choose Wi-Fi network, enter the network name and password, and pick the security type. A phone camera pointed at the result offers to join the network without anyone having to type the password.

Why did my code stop scanning after I added a logo?

The logo is covering part of the data. Adding a logo switches error correction to High, which recovers 30% of the code; if it has since been lowered, set it back to High - Quartile recovers only 25%, and Low and Medium less.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

SVG for anything printed, because it stays sharp at any size, from a business card to a poster. PNG for the web, or a document where a bitmap is easier to place.

Can it scan a code with my camera?

No. It reads a code out of an image you drop in, such as a screenshot or a photo of one. There is no live camera capture.

Is what I encode sent anywhere?

No. The code is generated in the page, which is worth knowing when the thing you are encoding is your home Wi-Fi password or your own contact details.

Can I put the QR code on my website?

Download the PNG or SVG and add it like any picture, or press Website embed and paste the code into your page's HTML, for example a Custom HTML block in WordPress. The embed draws the code in a small frame, sharp on any screen, with the colours and error correction you chose; a logo is left out, because it is a picture on your computer. What the code holds travels in the part of the address after the #, so it is not stored on this site - but anyone who visits your page can scan it, so only embed what you mean to publish.

About this QR code generator

Generate a QR code from text or a URL, drop a logo into the middle of it, and download the result as a PNG or a scalable SVG. The scanner side reads a code out of an image you drop in — a screenshot or a photo of one — rather than from a live camera.

SVG is the one to pick if the code is going into print, since it stays sharp at any size. It is free to use, with no account and no upload limit, and it runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, and while the page stays open, a feature you have already used keeps working offline.

What you can do

Make a QR code from text or a URL
Make a Wi-Fi QR code (WPA/WPA2, WEP or open, including hidden networks) that joins the network when scanned
Make a contact card (vCard) QR code with name, phone, email, organisation, job title and website
Put a logo in the middle, with error correction raised to High so it still scans
Choose the colours, the error correction level and a size from 128 to 1024 pixels: the SVG is exactly that size, and the PNG about that, rounded down so each square is a whole number of pixels
Download as PNG, or as SVG for print
An embed code that shows the QR code, sharp at any size, on your own website
Read a QR code from a screenshot or photo, then copy the result or open the link
Handles accented letters and non-Latin text such as Japanese

How to make a QR code

Pick what the code should hold: text or a URL, a Wi-Fi network, or a contact card.
Fill in the details. For Wi-Fi that is the network name, the password, and the security type - WPA/WPA2, WEP or none.
Optionally drop an image into the middle as a logo. Error correction switches to High by itself, so the code still scans with part of it covered.
Download it as a PNG, or as an SVG if it is going into print.
