Frequently Asked Questions about QR Code Generator
What can I encode in a QR code?
You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, WiFi credentials, contact cards (vCard), and more. Our QR generator automatically detects the content type.
What's the difference between PNG and SVG formats?
PNG is a raster image format best for web use and printing at a specific size. SVG is a vector format that can scale to any size without losing quality, perfect for large prints or responsive designs.
Can I use the QR codes commercially?
Yes! All QR codes generated with SnapTools are free to use for personal and commercial purposes with no watermarks or restrictions.
Can I customize the QR code colors?
Yes! You can choose custom colors for both the foreground (the QR pattern) and background. You can also make the background transparent for use on colored backgrounds or designs.
What's the maximum data I can encode?
QR codes can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters. However, the more data you encode, the more complex the QR code becomes, which may affect scanning reliability.
Generate a QR code from any text, URL, phone number or Wi-Fi string and download it as a PNG or SVG. Pick custom foreground and background colors and a size that suits print or screen — the code is drawn entirely in your browser, so whatever you encode never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a QR code for a link?
Paste the full URL (including https://) into the text field and the QR code updates instantly. Download it as a PNG for most uses, or as an SVG if you need to scale it up for print without losing sharpness.
Can I change the QR code colors?
Yes — set any foreground and background color. For reliable scanning, keep strong contrast between the two and use a dark code on a light background; very light codes or low-contrast combinations can fail in some scanner apps.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The QR code is just your text encoded as an image — there is no shortening service or tracking behind it. It works forever, as long as whatever it points to (like the URL) still exists.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
PNG is fine for websites, documents and messaging. SVG is a vector format, so it stays perfectly crisp at any size — choose it for business cards, posters or anything going to a printer.
