About the Text to QR Code
Create a QR code for a link, text, phone number or any short message. Choose the size and error correction level, then download a PNG.
How to use the Text to QR Code
- Enter the URL or text to encode.
- Choose the size (128, 256 or 512 pixels) and the error correction level: Low (7%), Medium (15%), Quartile (25%) or High (30%).
- Press Generate QR Code, then Download PNG.
Formula and method
Error correction adds redundant data so a QR code can still be read if part of it is damaged or covered. Higher levels recover more damage but make the code denser.
When to use the Text to QR Code
- Creating a QR code for a link, a menu or a business card.
- Sharing text, contact details or Wi-Fi details quickly.
- Adding a scannable code to flyers and posters.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Encoding a long link that makes the code dense and hard to scan. Use a short link.
- Printing the code too small or with low contrast.
- Not testing the code with a real phone before printing.
Tips
- Always scan your QR code with a phone before printing it.
- Keep strong contrast (dark code on a light background) and a clear quiet border around it.
- Shorter content makes a simpler code that scans more reliably.
- Use High error correction if you plan to place a logo over the centre.
