Generate QR codes from text, URLs, email addresses, WiFi credentials, and more.
QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that store data in a matrix of black and white squares. A single code holds up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, enough for URLs, contact cards, and Wi-Fi credentials.
QR codes encode data in patterns of modules (black/white squares). They include error correction using Reed-Solomon codes, allowing partial recovery if damaged. The three large squares in corners help scanners detect orientation. Different versions (1-40) offer varying capacities.
Maximum capacity is 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 7,089 numeric digits. However, more data means more modules and harder scanning. Keep content short for best reliability.
Error correction allows QR codes to remain readable even when partially obscured or damaged. Levels range from L, which recovers 7 percent, to H, which recovers 30 percent. Higher correction means larger codes.
