How it works

The qrcode library running in the page selects the smallest QR version that fits your URL at the chosen error correction level and renders the resulting module matrix onto an HTML Canvas. The Canvas is exported as PNG for downloads, while the same matrix is also emitted as SVG so the code can be embedded in posters, signage, or packaging artwork at any size without becoming blurry.

Processing runs in your browser

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL QR code?

A URL QR code encodes a web address. When scanned with a phone camera, it opens the linked page directly in the browser, removing the need to type the URL manually.

How long can the URL be?

QR codes can hold up to about 4,000 characters, far more than any URL needs. Shorter URLs produce simpler, more scannable codes, so use a short link service if your URL is very long.

Is my URL sent to a server?

All processing runs in your browser using the qrcode library. Our servers are not involved at any point.

What error correction level should I use?

Level M (15% recovery) is a good default for digital and screen use. Use Q or H for printed codes that might get scratched, smudged, or partially covered.
