Free QR Code Generator Online — URL, WiFi, vCard, Text & More

What can a QR code contain?

A QR code is just a visual encoding of text. Depending on what type of text it contains, scanners interpret it differently. A URL opens a website. A WiFi string auto-connects a device to a network. A vCard string adds a contact to the phone. This makes QR codes one of the most versatile tools for sharing information quickly.

QR code types you can generate with SafeKit

• URL — link to any website, landing page, or product page
• WiFi — let guests connect to your network by scanning (no password typing)
• vCard — share your contact details (name, phone, email, company)
• Plain Text — encode any message or note
• Email — pre-fill a recipient address and subject line
• Phone — tap-to-call a phone number
• SMS — pre-fill a text message
• Location — link to a GPS coordinate on Google Maps

Always test your QR code by scanning it with your phone before printing or publishing it. Use SafeKit's built-in QR scanner at safekit.pro/qr-code-scanner to verify instantly.

PNG vs SVG — which format should you download?

Download as PNG for digital use: websites, social media, email, Canva designs. PNG is a pixel-based format and looks sharp at the size it was generated. Download as SVG for print: business cards, flyers, banners, signage. SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without losing quality — your QR code will look perfect even on a 2-metre banner.

How to make a WiFi QR code

WiFi QR codes are one of the most popular and practical uses. When a phone scans the code, it automatically prompts the user to connect to the network without typing the password. To create one: select the "WiFi" type in SafeKit, enter your network name (SSID), password, and security type (WPA2 for most home and business networks). Download and print it — tape it near your router or hand it to guests.

Tips for better QR codes

• Keep URLs short — long URLs make denser QR codes that are harder to scan. Use a URL shortener if needed.
• Use high contrast — dark foreground on a light background scans fastest.
• Leave a quiet zone — keep clear white space around the QR code when printing.
• Minimum print size is 2cm × 2cm for reliable scanning from 30cm distance.
• SVG format is always best for print — never stretch a PNG QR code.
