On a T-shirt
Chest, sleeve or back. Place the code on a 3D T-shirt and turn it to check every angle.

How to make a QR code in 3 steps
Everything happens on this page. Nothing to install.
- Step 1
Enter your content
Choose what the code opens: a link, plain text, a Wi-Fi network, an email, a phone number or a contact card. The preview updates as you type.
- Step 2
Add your style
Pick a pattern and a corner shape, set the colors and upload a logo for the center. Keep the code darker than its background so cameras can read it.
- Step 3
Download and test
Download a PNG for screens or an SVG for print. Scan the code with your phone before you send it to a printer.
See it on a mockup
A QR code usually ends up on something physical. Your code is placed on each mockup as you edit. To check it in 3D, open a mockup and upload the PNG you downloaded.
On dark fabric
Dark garments need a light patch behind the code so cameras can read it. Preview it before you print.
On packaging
Put a code on the lid or the side of a box to link to setup guides, reorders or your store.
Make the code match your brand
Change the pattern, the corners, the colors and the logo. All four codes below were made with this generator and open the same link.
Classic squares
The standard look. Reads well at small sizes.
Rounded with a logo
Rounded modules and corners, logo in the center.
Dots in one color
Dot pattern in a single dark brand color.
Classy corners
Cut corners on each module, dark green on white.
Size, contrast and quiet zone
A code that looks right can still fail to scan. These rules of thumb cover most print jobs.
- Minimum print size
- About 2 × 2 cm (0.8 × 0.8 in) for a code scanned up close. Go larger for long links, which make denser codes.
- Scanning distance
- Make the code about one tenth as wide as the distance it is read from. A poster read from 2 m needs a code about 20 cm wide.
- Quiet zone
- Keep a clear margin around the code, at least four modules wide. The downloaded file already includes it.
- Contrast
- Use a dark code on a light background. Light codes on dark backgrounds and low-contrast color pairs fail on some scanners.
- Logo
- The logo covers part of the code, so keep it small. The generator switches to a higher error correction level when you add one.
- File format
- Use SVG for print, since it stays sharp at any size. Use PNG for websites, slides and social posts.
Static codes that keep working
This generator makes static QR codes. The content is stored in the pattern itself, not on a server.
No expiry
There is no subscription behind the code and nothing to renew. It works for as long as the link it points to does.
No sign-up
Create and download for free, without an account. The code is drawn in your browser, and what you type is not uploaded.
No scan limits
Scans go straight to your content, with no redirect in between to count or cap them. Print as many copies as you need.
A static code cannot be edited after it is printed. To change the destination later, point the code at a link you control and redirect that link.
QR code questions, answered
What to know before you print your code.
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes. Creating and downloading QR codes is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. The codes are static, so they do not expire.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static codes. The content is encoded in the pattern, so there is nothing to renew or switch off.
Can I add a logo and still scan the code?
Yes. Upload a logo and the generator clears space for it and raises the error correction level. Scan the result with your phone before you print it.
Which format should I download?
Use SVG for print, because it stays sharp at any size. Use PNG for websites, slides and social posts.
How small can I print a QR code?
About 2 × 2 cm for a code scanned up close. Go larger for long links, small logos or codes read from a distance.
Can I see the code on a product before I print it?
Yes. Download the PNG, upload it to a T-shirt mockup, then adjust the placement and check it in 3D.
