How to create QR codes and fix common issues

This help guide walks you through creating a QR code in minutes — from choosing the right code type and customizing the design to fixing the most common issues. Free to use, no sign-up required.

Create a QR code in 3 steps

  • Choose the QR type: website, WiFi, PDF, vCard, menu, or event.
  • Enter your content and customize colors, shapes, and your logo.
  • Download a high-resolution PNG/SVG file and start using it.

Recover a lost dynamic QR code

  • Sign up or log in, then open the QR code manager.
  • Create a dynamic QR code and enable the old dynamic code ID option.
  • Enter the old code ID (scan your printed QR code to see the ID string at the end of the link).
  • Save — your printed QR code keeps working with the new content.

Tips for reliable scanning

  • Keep strong contrast between the code and its background.
  • Print at least 2x2 cm for close-range scanning, larger for posters.
  • Always test-scan on a few devices before printing at scale.
