Does this QR code generator check whether a website is safe?

No. It checks that the entry is a normal HTTP or HTTPS address but does not visit, reputation-check or endorse the destination.

Q: What is the difference between an SVG and PNG QR code?

SVG is a scalable vector format suited to print and design software. PNG is a fixed-size image that is convenient for documents, posts and simple website editors.

Q: Why can a QR code become difficult to scan?

Dense content, low contrast, distortion, a missing quiet zone, small printing and curved or reflective placement can reduce readability. Test the final artwork on more than one device.

Q: What formats are used for Wi-Fi and contact QR codes?

Contact cards use vCard 4.0. Wi-Fi codes use the widely supported WIFI payload convention documented by the ZXing project, although scanner support can vary.

Create crisp QR codes for website links, Wi-Fi access, contact cards or plain text. See exactly what the code contains, then download an SVG or print-ready PNG.

Create a QR code

Choose the content

Build the code around its real purpose.

The example starts with a website link. Choose another format when you want a scanner to recognise Wi-Fi or contact details.

What should the QR code contain?

WebsiteOpen a web address Wi-FiJoin a network ContactSave a vCard TextRead a short note

01 Website destination

Website address Use the final https address. The generator does not open or verify the page. Download label OptionalThis names the downloaded file; it is not encoded in the QR code.

02 Output quality

Error correctionHigher resilience makes a denser code. PNG sizeSVG remains sharp at any size.

Your content is turned into a QR code on this page. Website addresses are checked for shape, but no destination is visited.

Built for dependable scanning

Clarity beats decoration.

The generator keeps a white margin around the symbol, uses dark modules on white and exports square pixels. Those choices protect the structure scanners rely on.

Technical references: DENSO WAVE QR Code sizing guidance , ZXing barcode content formats and RFC 6350 for vCard 4.0 .

Keep the margin

A four-module white quiet zone is included on every side.

Protect contrast

Fixed dark-on-white output avoids fragile colour combinations.

Keep it square

SVG stays crisp; PNG modules use whole pixels without smoothing.

Test the final piece

Scan the printed or published version at its real size and distance.

Before you publish

A QR code carries content; it does not make that content trustworthy.

Print the destination nearby

For website codes, show the recognisable domain in plain text so people can decide where the scan should lead.

Treat Wi-Fi codes as credentials

A compatible scanner can read the network name and password. Do not display one more widely than you would share the password itself.

Regenerate when content changes

This creates static codes. If a URL, password or contact detail changes, the old image still contains the old value.

What is the difference between SVG and PNG?

SVG is a scalable vector file and is usually the better choice for signs, print and design software. PNG is a fixed-size image that is convenient for documents, social posts and simple website editors.

Does this check whether a website is safe?

No. The generator checks that a website entry is a normal http or https address, but it does not visit, reputation-check or endorse the destination. Read the encoded address before downloading and keep the printed domain visible.

Why can a QR code become difficult to scan?

Very dense content, low contrast, distortion, a missing white margin, small printing or placement on a curved or reflective surface can all reduce readability. Test the final artwork with more than one device.

What format is used for contacts and Wi-Fi?

Contacts use a vCard 4.0 text payload. Wi-Fi uses the widely supported WIFI payload convention documented by the ZXing project. Scanner support can still vary by device and camera application.
