Key Features

  • Five payload types in one tool

    Encode plain text, website URLs, mailto email links, tel phone numbers, or full Wi-Fi network credentials without switching tools.

  • PNG and SVG export

    Download a raster PNG for quick sharing or a crisp, infinitely scalable SVG for print and branded materials.

  • Adjustable size, margin, and error correction

    Tune pixel size, quiet-zone margin, and one of four ECC levels (L/M/Q/H) to balance density against scan reliability.

  • Wi-Fi credential encoding

    Build a standards-compliant WIFI: payload with SSID, password, encryption type, and hidden-network flag so a phone camera can join a network instantly.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Choose a content type

    Select text, URL, email, phone, or Wi-Fi depending on what you want the scanner's phone to do after scanning.

  2. 2

    Fill in the details

    Enter the matching fields - a link for URL, an address for email, digits for phone, or SSID and password for Wi-Fi.

  3. 3

    Adjust size and error correction

    Increase size for print materials and raise the error correction level if the code might be partially obscured by a logo or damage.

  4. 4

    Download or copy the result

    Save the code as PNG for digital use or SVG for scalable print, or copy the raw encoded payload for debugging.

Use Cases

  • Print marketing and packaging

    Add scannable links to posters, flyers, business cards, and product packaging without printing a long URL by hand.

  • Event check-in and networking

    Generate contact or ticket links attendees can scan at registration desks or badges for fast check-in.

  • Guest Wi-Fi sharing

    Let visitors, customers, or guests join a wireless network by scanning instead of typing a long password on a small keyboard.

  • Restaurant and retail menus

    Replace printed menus or catalogs with a single scannable code linking to an always-up-to-date digital version.

Examples

Website link

Point a printed flyer or poster at a landing page.

contentType=url, https://toolmint.example/promo
Scannable QR code encoding the exact URL

Wi-Fi guest access

Let guests join a network by scanning instead of typing a password.

contentType=wifi, SSID=GuestNet, encryption=WPA
WIFI:T:WPA;S:GuestNet;P:••••••••;H:false;;

Click-to-call phone number

Encode a support line so scanning opens the phone dialer.

contentType=phone, +1-555-0134
tel:+1-555-0134 payload rendered as a QR code

Benefits

  • Encodes five common payload types without needing separate specialized tools
  • Exports both PNG and SVG so the same code works for web and print
  • Lets you tune size and error correction before committing to a print run
  • Builds a correctly formatted Wi-Fi payload without memorizing the WIFI: syntax
  • Generates every code locally, so payload data never touches a server

Best Practices

  • Test-scan a printed code at the actual distance and lighting it will be used in before running a large print job.
  • Use a higher error correction level (Q or H) when a logo, curve, or damage might cover part of the code.
  • Keep a generous quiet-zone margin around the code - scanners rely on that blank border to detect the pattern's edges.
  • Prefer https links over http, and double-check the URL before printing since a printed code cannot be edited after the fact.

Common Mistakes

  • Printing a QR code too small to scan reliably from a normal reading distance.
  • Displaying a Wi-Fi or personal-data QR code on a public screen or shared slide where anyone nearby can scan it.
  • Choosing the lowest error correction level for a code that will be printed on a curved, textured, or easily damaged surface.

Privacy Notice

QR generation, including any Wi-Fi passwords or contact details you enter, happens entirely in your browser. ToolMint does not upload, log, or store the payload you encode - but remember that anyone who scans the printed or displayed code can read that data.

About This Tool

What is this tool?

A QR code generator converts text, links, or structured data like Wi-Fi credentials into a two-dimensional barcode that any modern smartphone camera can scan and decode instantly. It supports multiple payload formats and configurable error correction so the resulting pattern is both compact and reliably scannable.

Why use it?

QR codes bridge printed or displayed material and digital destinations without anyone having to type a URL, email address, or phone number by hand. Generating one locally, with control over size, format, and error correction, is faster than relying on a desktop app or an untrusted third-party service.

Limitations

Extremely long payloads - very long URLs or large text blocks - produce denser codes that are harder for cameras to scan, especially at small print sizes. This tool does not add logos or custom color styling to the generated pattern.
