Quick Answer

A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores data scannable by smartphone cameras. Our generator creates QR codes for URLs, text, email, phone, SMS, and WiFi. The recommended minimum size is 256×256 pixels for reliable scanning. Error correction level L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), or H (30%) allows codes to remain scannable even when partially obscured. Higher error correction lets you add logos but produces denser codes.

Key Facts

  • QR codes can store up to 2,953 bytes of data (UTF-8)
  • 4 error correction levels: L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%)
  • Minimum recommended resolution: 256×256 pixels
  • SVG format scales without quality loss (use for printing)
  • QR codes work offline - no internet needed to generate or scan
  • WiFi QR codes use the format: WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;;
  • Higher error correction enables logos but increases density
