A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can store URLs, text, and other data. Smartphones and apps can scan QR codes to instantly open links or retrieve information.

How do I generate a QR code?

On the Generator tab, choose a type from the dropdown — URL, Wi-Fi, Contact (vCard), Plain Text, Email, SMS, Phone Number, Calendar Event, Geolocation, or Crypto Wallet — fill in the fields, and click Generate. Your QR code appears instantly and can be downloaded as SVG, PNG, or JPG. No account required.

How do I decode a QR code?

Switch to the Decoder tab. You can either upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG image containing a QR code, or — on devices with a camera — switch to the Camera tab to scan a QR code live. The decoded content appears immediately and can be copied to your clipboard. When the decoded content is an http/https link, you can safety-verify it before opening.

Can I scan a QR code with my phone camera?

Yes. On devices with a camera, the Decoder tab shows a Camera option. Tap it, grant camera permission when prompted, and point your camera at any QR code — it decodes automatically the moment one is detected. No app download required.

Is this QR code generator free?

Yes. The tool is completely free with no sign-up, no subscription, and no usage limits.

Does this tool track me or use cookies?

No. This is a privacy-first tool with no cookies, no analytics, and no user tracking of any kind. QR generation and decoding happen fully in your browser; the one exception is the optional URL verification, which sends only the decoded URL to a link-checking service, and only when you click Verify.

What image formats can I upload to decode a QR code?

The decoder accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, and SVG image files.

What download formats are available for generated QR codes?

Generated QR codes can be downloaded as SVG (vector, infinitely scalable), PNG (transparent background), or JPG (white background, smaller file size).

Does a generated QR code expire?

No. QR codes generated by this tool do not expire. They encode data directly into the pattern — a URL QR code works as long as the destination URL is live; Wi-Fi, contact, and other types are self-contained and work indefinitely.

Can I use this QR code generator on mobile?

Yes. The tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can generate and download QR codes directly from your mobile browser with no app installation required.

What types of QR codes can I generate?

The generator supports 10 types: URL / Link (any http/https address), Wi-Fi (share network credentials by scan), Contact / vCard (name, phone, email, address), Plain Text, Email (prefilled recipient, subject, and body), SMS (prefilled phone and message), Phone Number, Calendar Event (iCal format), Geolocation (latitude and longitude), and Crypto Wallet (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Monero).

Can this tool check if a QR code link is safe?

Yes. When you decode an http/https link, a "Verify URL" button appears. Click it to check the link's safety. You'll get a verdict (Safe, Caution, or Danger), a 0–100 risk score, the complete redirect chain with HTTP status codes, red flags that might indicate phishing or compromise, typosquat/lookalike-domain signals, and Google Safe Browsing threat matches. If the verdict is Caution or Danger, a confirmation dialog appears before opening the link.

What does the URL safety score mean?

The 0–100 score reflects the assessed risk of the URL. Safe links (typically 0–20) open directly; Caution (20–70) and Danger (70–100) require explicit confirmation before opening. Details shown include the link's final destination, hop-by-hop redirect codes, explanations of red flags, typosquat/lookalike signals, and any threats detected by Google Safe Browsing.
