How to Create a QR Code

Published June 9, 2026 · 3 min read · By DownloadReels

QR codes connect the physical and digital worlds — a poster, a menu, a business card or a package can point straight to a link. Creating one is free and instant, and the code you generate here is static, so it never expires and has no tracking attached.

1
Enter your content

Type the URL or text you want the QR code to open or show.

2
Set size and error level

Pick the resolution and error-correction level (higher survives more damage).

3
Customise the colours

Choose the dot and background colours to match your brand.

4
Download

Save a high-resolution PNG, ready to print or share.

Static codes and error correction

This tool makes static QR codes — the link is encoded directly into the pattern, so there’s no redirect, no expiry and no tracking. The error-correction level decides how much of the code can be damaged or covered (say, by a logo) and still scan: Low is densest, High is most robust. For print, Medium or Quartile is a safe default.

Tips for a scannable code

Tip: Export at 1024px and avoid very light dot colours — high contrast is the single most important factor in whether a QR code scans reliably.
