QR Code Generator

No. The codes are static: the link or text is stored inside the pattern itself, not on a server that redirects people. They keep working for as long as the link they point to works, and there are no scan limits.

Choose Instagram DM and enter your username. The code opens https://ig.me/m/yourname, which starts a new message to your account in the Instagram app. It works well on packaging, receipts, flyers and shop counters, where people would rather message you than type your handle.

Usually not, as long as the logo stays small. QR codes have built-in error correction that can rebuild missing parts of the pattern, and this tool switches to the highest level (H, about 30% recovery) as soon as you add a logo. Keep the logo under roughly a quarter of the code's width and always test the code with a couple of phones before printing.

A dark code on a light background, with strong contrast. Many scanner apps fail on light-on-dark (inverted) codes or on pale colours such as yellow on white. The tool warns you when the contrast is low or the colours are inverted.

Use SVG for print, signage and anything that may be resized, because it stays sharp at every size. Use PNG for websites, social posts and documents. A 1024 px PNG is plenty for most screens and small prints.

A common rule is that the code should be at least one tenth of the scanning distance, and never smaller than about 2 cm (0.8 in) across. Longer content makes a denser code, so shorten long links or use a smaller amount of text if the code looks crowded.

No. The code is generated in your browser, including the logo you add. Nothing you type or upload is sent to a server.
