How to Create QR Codes for Free - A Complete Guide

3 min read

QR codes are everywhere - restaurant menus, product packaging, event tickets, business cards. Creating your own takes seconds with the right tool.

What Can You Encode?

  • URLs - link to any website
  • Plain text - messages, instructions, serial numbers
  • WiFi credentials - WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;
  • Contact info - vCard format for phone numbers and emails

Error Correction Levels

QR codes can still be read even when partially damaged, thanks to error correction: L (7% recovery), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%). Higher correction means a denser code but better reliability - use H for printed materials that might get scratched.
