Step 3 — Enter your details

Fill in the relevant fields. For a URL: paste the link. For WiFi: enter the network name, password, and encryption type. For vCard: fill in name, phone, and email.

Step 4 — Customise (optional)

Choose a dot style or add a logo to the centre of the QR code.

Common Use Cases

Restaurant or event WiFi
Print a WiFi QR code at your entrance. Guests scan it to connect without you having to spell out the password.

Business cards
Add a vCard QR code to your business card. One scan saves all your contact details to someone's phone.

Sharing a link
Add a URL QR code to a slide deck, poster, or printed document so people can tap through to the full resource without typing.

UPI payment collection
Indian businesses and freelancers use UPI QR codes to receive payments. Generate yours and add it to invoices or display it at checkout. Pair it with the Invoice Generator which embeds UPI QR codes directly in the PDF.

WhatsApp chat link
A WhatsApp QR code lets customers start a conversation with you without saving your number first — useful for support or enquiries.

Product packaging
Link a QR code to a product page, manual, or how-to video and print it on packaging.


PNG vs SVG

PNG — Use for digital sharing: WhatsApp, email, social media, websites. Fixed resolution — looks best at 1000px or above.

SVG — Use for print: business cards, flyers, posters, banners. Scales to any size without pixelation.
