Free QR code tools: create and scan

A QR code is a square barcode that phone cameras read in a fraction of a second. It can hold a web address, a Wi-Fi login, a contact card, a message or a map location, which makes it the quickest bridge between paper and a phone. These two tools cover both sides of that bridge.

The generator creates static codes. The content is written into the pattern itself instead of being stored behind a redirect link, so a code printed on a menu, a poster or a business card keeps working for as long as its content exists. You can choose colors, add a small logo and download a PNG for screens or an SVG that stays sharp at any print size. There is no account, no scan limit and no trial that runs out.

The scanner reads codes with the camera of your phone or laptop, or from a photo or screenshot. It always shows the content first, so you can see where a link really goes, copy a Wi-Fi password or save a contact before anything opens. Both tools run on your device, and camera images are never uploaded or stored.
