How to make a QR code
- Enter your link or text in the box above.
- Customise it, choose the size, error-correction level and your own foreground/background colours.
- Download as a PNG for everyday use, or an SVG for print and large signage (it stays sharp at any size).
Static vs dynamic QR codes
ToolFern makes static QR codes, the link or text is encoded directly into the pattern, so theynever expire and don’t depend on any third-party service staying online. (Dynamic, trackable QR codes, which can be edited later, are a feature we may add as a Pro tool in future.)
Tips for scannable codes
- Keep strong contrast between foreground and background (dark on light works best).
- For printing on packaging or signs, use a higher error-correction level so the code still scans if slightly damaged.
- Use the SVG download for posters and banners so the code never looks blurry.
