About this QR code generator

The BapTools QR code generator lets you create high-resolution QR codes for free, right in your browser and without uploading anything to a server. You can generate QR codes for website URLs, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses, Wi-Fi logins and much more.

Why use QR codes?

  • Instant sharing: a camera scan opens the URL or information in seconds.
  • Flexible: print it on business cards, posters, product packaging or checkout screens.
  • Universal: every modern smartphone camera can read a QR code.
  • Compact: stores a lot of information inside a very small square.

Real-world examples

Example 1 — restaurant menu on the table

Enter https://menu.example.com and pick 400px. You get a sharp code that still scans from one or two metres away.

Example 2 — business card for a sales rep

Enter Jane Doe|Sales|0901234567. When someone scans it, their phone offers the name, title and a tap-to-call number, with no typing.

Example 3 — hotel guest Wi-Fi

Enter WIFI:T:WPA;S:HotelGuest;P:guestpass123;;. Guests scan and join directly instead of typing a password with random capitals.

Example 4 — payment without an app

Paste https://example.com/pay into the code. Scanning with the stock camera opens the checkout in the browser, so nobody has to install a banking app.

When to use it, and when not to

Worth using

  • Printing on business cards, leaflets or product packaging to replace a long URL.
  • Putting it on reception desks, dining tables and notice boards for self-service.
  • Sending it in email or chat alongside content people should open quickly.
  • Producing a simple static code with an ordinary office printer, no design software needed.

Not worth it

  • When readers are on a laptop. Scanning from a desktop is awkward, so a plain link is faster.
  • When the content is meant to be protected. A static QR just holds a URL, so anyone with a camera can open it; it is not a login.
  • For long multi-page documents, where people have to scan and then hunt for the section. A written link is quicker.
  • Below about 2 cm when printed. The code loses its quiet zone and most scanners fail.
