How to Make a Free QR Code (PNG or SVG)

Quick answer: open the QR Code Generator, type your link, and tap Download PNG (screens) or Download SVG (print).

Step by step

1. Open the QR Code Generator.
2. Enter the link or text. Use the full address, starting with https://.
3. Pick the size (512 px is good for most uses) and colours.
4. Download the PNG or SVG.
5. Scan it with your phone camera before you print or share it.

PNG or SVG?

• PNG is a normal image. Use it on websites, social posts and documents.
• SVG is vector. It stays sharp at any size, so use it for posters, menus and business cards.

Tips so it always scans

• Keep strong contrast: a dark code on a light background is safest. Avoid light-on-dark unless you have tested it.
• Leave a quiet white border around the code.
• Print it at least 2 cm (about 1 inch) wide.
• Pick High error correction if you add a logo or the code may get scuffed.
• Shorter links make simpler, easier-to-scan codes. A short, clean link on your own site works well.

Are QR codes free and permanent?

The generator is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. The code simply stores your text, so it works as long as the link inside works. Made in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

Ideas

Link your portfolio, menu, Wi-Fi details, social profile or a download page. Linking your own page such as SaveAnyReel is as simple as pasting its address.
