About the QR generator

Handytool's QR code generator turns any text, website URL, email link, or Wi-Fi network into a scannable QR code right inside your browser. Pick a size, margin, and error-correction level, tweak the colors, and export as PNG or SVG. The code is generated locally and never expires, so you can print it on packaging, posters, or business cards without worrying about a service going dark.

QR generator features

  • 01

    Four payload types

    Encode plain text or URLs, pre-filled email messages, or Wi-Fi credentials that let guests join your network with a scan — no typing long passwords.

  • 02

    PNG and SVG export

    Download a crisp PNG for the web or a vector SVG that scales to any print size. Error correction can be tuned from 7% to 30% so the code still scans when partially obscured by a logo.

  • 03

    100% private and permanent

    Codes are drawn entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, nothing expires, nothing tracks scans. Your generated QR code will still work in ten years.

QR generator FAQ

How do I generate a QR code online?
Type or paste the content — a URL, text, email address, or Wi-Fi details — into the tool, then download the resulting QR code as PNG or SVG. The code is created entirely inside your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Do the QR codes expire?
No. Handytool generates static QR codes that point directly at your content. They will never expire and do not require the tool to stay online once the image is downloaded.
What is error correction and which level should I pick?
Error correction makes the code readable even if part of it is damaged or covered. Low (L) recovers 7%, Medium (M) 15%, Quartile (Q) 25%, High (H) 30%. Use Medium for screens and print, and High if you plan to place a logo over the code.
Can I make a Wi-Fi QR code?
Yes. Switch to the Wi-Fi tab, enter the network name (SSID), encryption type, and password. Anyone who scans the result on a modern phone will be prompted to join the network — no typing needed.
Can I change the QR code colors?
Yes. Pick any foreground and background color. For reliable scanning, keep strong contrast — dark foreground on a light background — and avoid photographic textures behind the code.
Is the QR generator free?
Yes. Every Handytool is free with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no limit on how many codes you can create.
