Create QR codes or read them from images and a camera

In this guide

How it works

Choose the content type and enter the details, or switch to reading a code from an image or camera.
Generate the code and verify the encoded content; inspect read results before opening any link.
Download PDF, PNG or SVG and test the code at the size you intend to print or display.

Input, result and limits

Property	Details
Input	Text, URL or QR image
Output	PDF / PNG / SVG
Important limitation	Check QR content locally; a QR code does not establish that a link is trustworthy.

Useful next steps

Add an image to a PDF and adjust its size	Place a logo, photograph or graphic on an existing PDF page. Move it and adjust its size with the on-page controls.
Edit a PDF: text, images and annotations	Edit PDF text, add images and mark up pages. Review your changes in the easyPDF24 preview before applying them.
Read and write NFC tags on a supported Android device	Prepare NDEF text or links and read or write NFC tags with supported Chrome on Android. On iPhone and desktop, prepare content or transfer it to a QR code.

Choose content and an output format

Use a web address for a destination that already exists, or encode text, Wi-Fi details, a contact, email or phone information. Shorter content usually creates a less dense code. PDF suits a printable sheet, PNG works as an image, and SVG stays sharp when resized. Keep a clear light margin around the code and avoid stretching it when placing it in another document.

Read the result before using it

Generation and image or camera decoding happen locally in the browser. Camera use requires a compatible device and permission; an image file is an alternative. A decoded address is displayed for review and is not opened automatically. The generator creates a static code: changing its encoded destination later requires a new code, unless you control the destination behind the original address.

Frequently asked questions

Does encoding Wi-Fi details hide the password?

No. A QR code stores readable data. Anyone who can scan the code can obtain the information encoded in it, including a Wi-Fi password.

Why should I test the downloaded code?

Printing size, contrast and nearby graphics affect readability. Scan the actual print or displayed version and confirm the content before distributing it.
