QR codes are a shortcut: instead of typing a long link or a Wi-Fi password, a person scans the code and gets the information straight away. They are used on posters, business cards, menus, product labels and event invitations. The code itself contains only the information you type, so it is worth checking that information before you print it, because a mistake in a link will be copied into every scan.
Test the code with your own phone before you print it. Scan it, check that it opens the right link or shows the right text, and only then use it on a poster or card. For printed use, download the PNG at a good size and do not stretch it, because a distorted code can be hard to scan.
Privacy: this tool runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup, and your files never leave your device.
Create a QR code for any link or text — a video link, a website, Wi-Fi, anything. Download it as a PNG and use it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
What can I put in a QR code?
A website link, plain text, a phone number, an SMS message, an email address, or Wi-Fi network details. Choose the type first, because the tool formats each type differently so that phones understand it correctly.
Why will my QR code not scan?
The most common causes are a code that is too small, too stretched, or printed with low contrast. Keep the code square, use dark code on a light background, and test it with your own phone before printing.
Does the QR code expire?
No. A QR code made here contains the information itself, not a link to a service, so it does not expire and does not depend on ToolNest staying online. If the link inside it stops working, that is because the website itself changed, not because the code expired.
Is the information in my QR code sent anywhere?
No. The code is drawn in your browser from what you type. Nothing is uploaded or stored, and closing the page clears it.
