Can I add a logo to a QR code without breaking it?

Yes. Upload a logo and the tool automatically switches to error correction level H, which adds 30% redundancy to the code. Keep the logo under roughly 30% of the QR area and it will still scan reliably on any phone camera.

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes, completely. No account, no watermark, no limit on how many codes you create, and no data is sent to a server — everything runs locally in your browser.

No — the data is encoded statically into the image itself. A URL QR code only stops working if the destination link goes offline; the code itself never expires.

Can I use these QR codes commercially?

Yes. QR code is an open standard (ISO/IEC 18004) with no licensing fees or restrictions on commercial use, whether it's on packaging, menus or marketing materials.

What's the difference between the PNG and SVG downloads?

PNG is a fixed 280×280px raster image, good for screens, email and messaging apps. SVG is vector-based and scales to any size without losing sharpness — the right choice for banners, posters and printed signage.

When you'll reach for this

The most common scenarios among people who use this tool

Printed materials

Business cards, flyers and banners linking straight to a page — no typing required.

Business Wi-Fi network

One printed code answers "what's the password?" for every customer or guest.

Feedback and signup forms

Pre-filled SMS, WhatsApp or email messages cut the friction out of printed materials.

Freelance and creator payments

PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or Revolut usernames become a scan-to-pay code for invoices, tips and quick payments.

Common mistakes

Logo too large in the center

Keep it to at most 30% of the QR area so the code still scans reliably.

Downloading PNG for large-format printing

PNG is fixed at 280×280px — for banners and signage, always use the SVG download instead.

Low contrast between dots and background

Dark dots on a light background scan best — brand colors with low contrast make codes hard to read.

Why use this tool

Most free generators require an account, stamp a watermark on the result, cap how many codes you can create, or charge for the SVG download. This tool has none of those restrictions.

It supports 13 content types — including PayPal, Venmo, Cash App and Revolut payment links — and runs entirely in the browser, so Wi-Fi passwords and contact details never leave your device.
