What makes this free QR code generator different?
Most QR code generators online do one thing: turn a URL into a black-and-white square. This free QR code generator goes further — 9 content types, full design customisation, logo upload, and multiple size options. Everything runs in your browser. No signup, no server upload, no watermarks.

Design options explained
This tool goes beyond basic black-and-white QR codes. You can fully customise the visual style:
- Foreground & background colour — match your brand colours or use any custom hex value
- Dot style — choose between square, rounded square, circle, or diamond dots
- Eye outer shape — the three corner squares that anchor the QR code, available in square, rounded, or circle style
- Eye inner shape — the inner marker inside each corner, available in square, rounded, or circle style
- Logo upload — place your logo or icon in the centre of the QR code for branded results
The design options let you create QR codes that fit your brand rather than generic black squares — without any external design tool.
Where to use your free QR code generator output
Business cards and print materials — link to your website, portfolio, or contact card. A vCard QR code lets anyone save your details to their phone with a single scan.
Restaurant and retail menus — a WiFi QR code on every table means guests connect instantly without asking for the password. A URL QR code on the menu links directly to your online ordering page.
Events and conferences — an Event QR code lets attendees add your session to their calendar. A Location QR code points them to the venue without typing an address.
Marketing and packaging — link print campaigns directly to landing pages, product demos, or discount codes. Track performance by pointing the QR code to a UTM-tagged URL.
Email signatures and presentations — a URL or vCard QR code in a slide deck or email footer makes it easy for anyone to follow up without typing a link.
Office and team use — share WiFi credentials, internal tools, or meeting room links with a QR code on the wall rather than sending yet another message in Slack.
Why this free QR code generator runs in your browser
Most QR code tools process your input on a server. That means your URLs, WiFi passwords, contact details, and location data pass through someone else’s infrastructure — often with tracking and ads attached.
This generator creates QR codes entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your data never leaves your device. There is no server request when you click Generate — you can verify this yourself by opening the network tab in your browser’s developer tools.
It’s the same approach DailyBuddy uses for its PDF tools, the free passphrase generator, and the image compressor — no upload, no server processing, no data collection.
Sharing QR codes with your team
Once you’ve generated your QR code, you might need to send it to a designer, a print shop, or a client — along with brand assets, source files, or campaign materials.
DailyBuddy Send lets you share files via an encrypted link with an optional expiration date. No cloud storage account needed, no files sitting in someone’s inbox forever. The link expires when you want it to.
