What is a QR code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a square two-dimensional barcode that stores up to 2,953 bytes of data, which a phone camera reads in under a second.
Denso Wave invented the QR code in 1994 for tracking car parts, and the format is standardised as ISO/IEC 18004. Its three corner squares let a scanner read the code from any angle, and its error correction restores up to 30% of a damaged code.
What can a QR code do?
A QR code can open a website, join a WiFi network, save a contact, start a call, message or email, add a calendar event, show a location, or point to a file or page. QRJiffy groups its 41 QR code types into five categories:
Everyday QR codes
Links, text, WiFi, contacts, calls, messages and calendar events — the payloads every phone camera reads natively.
Social media QR codes
Send scanners straight to a profile, channel or chat so they can follow, subscribe or message in one tap.
File and media QR codes
Share PDFs, images, video and audio from a printed surface without asking anyone to type a link.
Business QR codes
Menus, reviews, feedback, forms, landing pages and profiles that turn foot traffic into actions.
Payment and product QR codes
Take payments, publish product data, prove authenticity and run promotions from packaging and point of sale.
Where do QR codes work best?
QR codes work best where people already hold a phone and want one quick action: on cards, signs, tables, invitations and posters. Each guide below starts with a ready-made generator.

How do you create a QR code?
You create a QR code in four steps: choose a type, enter the content, style it, and download it.
- Choose the QR code type that matches the action you want — a URL opens a page, WiFi joins a network, vCard saves a contact.
- Enter the content in the form. The preview updates live and “Show encoded data” displays exactly what the code stores.
- Style the code with a dark foreground on a light background, and raise error correction to Q or H for outdoor or rough print.
- Download and test — SVG for print, PNG for screens — and scan the file with your own phone before you publish it.

How do you make sure a QR code scans?
A QR code scans reliably when it is large enough for the viewing distance, has strong contrast and keeps a blank quiet zone around it.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Size | At least 2 × 2 cm; about 1/10 of the scanning distance |
| Contrast | Dark modules on a light background; never invert for print |
| Quiet zone | Four modules of blank margin on every side |
| Data length | Shorter content = larger modules = faster scans |
| Error correction | M indoors; Q or H outdoors, on curved surfaces or with a logo |
| File format | SVG for print, PNG for screens |

Yes. Every QR code is free for its first 200 scans, with no watermark — sign up free to download and manage your codes. Pro removes the scan limit for $30 a year.
How many scans does a free QR code get?

Which QR code type should I choose?
Choose the type that matches the action you want: open a link (URL), join WiFi (WiFi), save a contact (vCard), start a chat (WhatsApp) or view a file (PDF). Each type triggers a native action on the phone.
Can I add a logo to my QR code?
Yes. The QR code designer adds a logo, dot styles and corner styles for free, and it sets error correction to H so the code still scans.
Can I use my QR codes commercially?
Yes. QR codes you generate are yours to print on packaging, menus, ads and signage with no attribution required. “QR Code” is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE, but the technology is free to use.
What file format is best for printing a QR code?
SVG is best for print because it is a vector and stays sharp at any size; PNG is best for websites, slides and documents.
