From restaurant menus to WiFi passwords, QR codes have become the fastest way to share information with a phone camera. You don't need a designer or a paid app to make one — here's how to generate a custom QR code for free in a few seconds.

What Can a QR Code Contain?

A QR code isn't just for links — it can hold several kinds of information:

  • Text or URL — Websites, menus, portfolios, social profiles
  • Email — Pre-fills a recipient, subject, and message
  • Phone — Opens the dialer with a number ready to call
  • SMS — Opens a text message pre-filled and ready to send
  • WiFi — Lets guests join your network by scanning, no typing a password

Tips for a QR Code That Always Scans

💡 Pro Tip

Keep strong contrast between the foreground and background colors — low-contrast codes (like light gray on white) often fail to scan.

Choosing the Right Error Correction

Higher error correction levels let a QR code still scan even if part of it is damaged, dirty, or covered by a logo — but the pattern gets slightly denser. Use "High" if you plan to print it small or add a logo on top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool completely free?

Yes! Mishu PDF's QR Code Generator is 100% free — no hidden charges, no subscription, no limits.

Do the QR codes expire?

No. The content is encoded directly into the pattern itself, so it works for as long as the underlying link or information stays valid.

Can I customize the colors?

Yes, pick from the preset swatches or use the custom color picker for both the foreground and background.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server.
