Free QR code creator
Paste a URL, get a scannable QR code. Download as PNG or SVG. Works for URLs of any length. No signup, no watermark, no upload.
100% client-side. Your URLs never touch our server.
How it works.
And why we built it this way.
What this is
A free, browser-based QR code generator that turns any URL or text into a scannable QR image. No signup. No watermark. No size limits. No data collection. Generate as many as you want, download in PNG or SVG, and put them on a poster, business card, product label, slide deck, or anywhere else a phone camera can reach.
How to use it
- Paste a URL into the input field at the top.
- Pick a size (medium is fine for most uses) and an error correction level (medium is fine unless the QR will be printed small or scanned in rough conditions).
- Download as PNG (best for screens and social media) or SVG (best for print and infinite scaling).
What happens when someone scans
The QR encodes a short blufyre.com URL that, when scanned, lands the user on a quick destination-preview page. That page shows the destination URL clearly, counts down five seconds, and forwards them to your link automatically. They can also press a button to go immediately, or cancel if they decide not to continue.
Two reasons we do this. First, it’s a small but real anti-phishing protection — scanners see where the QR is sending them before they commit. Second, the preview page carries our branding for a few seconds, which is how we afford to run this tool for free.
Why use this over the dozen others
- Truly free. No signup wall, no email-to-download gate, no “500 codes per month” cap. Use it for everything.
- Browser-only. Your URLs never leave your machine during generation. We have no server-side log of what you encoded.
- SVG and PNG. Both formats every time. SVG for print, PNG for screens, no compromise.
- No watermark, ever. Many free generators stamp a logo on the QR. We don’t.
- Made by people who ship. blufyre.com is a Salesforce consultancy — this tool exists because we got tired of fighting watermarks and signup forms on every other generator. If you ever need real Salesforce work done well, we’re right here.
Common questions.
- Is this really free? What's the catch?
- Yes. No signup, no watermark, no rate limit, no upsell. The only thing we add is a brief intermediate page that displays when someone scans your QR code — it shows the destination URL, a 5-second countdown, and 'go now' / 'cancel' buttons, then forwards them to your link. That page carries our branding, which is how we afford to keep the tool free.
- Do you store the URLs I generate QR codes for?
- No. QR-code generation happens entirely in your browser; the URL you type is never sent to our servers. Even on the redirect page, the destination URL is in the page's query string (visible to you and the browser) — we don't log it anywhere on our end.
- Will my QR code still work if blufyre.com goes down?
- Honest answer: no. Because the QR encodes a blufyre.com redirect URL, if our site is unreachable, the scanner won't reach the redirect page. blufyre.com runs on AWS CloudFront with multi-region failover, so this is rare in practice — but if your QR codes are on durable physical media (printed marketing materials, product packaging) and you want zero dependency on us, generate a QR with a direct URL using any pure-encoder tool. We're transparent about this trade-off.
- Why route through an intermediate redirect page?
- Two reasons. First, it gives the scanner a chance to see the destination URL before committing — a small but real anti-phishing protection. Second, it's how we sustain the free tool: the redirect page carries blufyre.com branding for ~5 seconds. We chose this trade-off over watermarking the QR image (which would visually damage your design) or charging.
- How long can the URL be?
- QR codes can encode several thousand characters comfortably. We tested with URLs up to 1,500 characters and the resulting QR remained scannable on a phone from about a foot away. For very long URLs the QR becomes denser; if your QR will be printed small or read from far away, prefer shorter URLs.
- Can I download the QR as an SVG?
- Yes — SVG is recommended for print and any context where the QR will be resized. SVG is infinitely scalable and razor-sharp at any size. PNG is fine for screens and social-media use.
- What error correction level should I pick?
- Higher error correction makes the QR more resilient to damage, smudges, and partial occlusion, at the cost of denser visual encoding. We default to 'M' (medium, ~15% recovery) which works for most uses. Pick 'H' (high, ~30% recovery) for outdoor signage, product packaging, or anywhere the QR might be scratched, faded, or partially covered.
