How to create a QR code

You can make a working QR code in QRhubly in under a minute, and the free generator runs entirely in your browser — no account needed and nothing is sent to our servers.

The quick version

1. Go to qrhubly.com and open the generator.
2. Pick the type of code you want (URL is the default — see the full list below).
3. Enter your content (for a URL, paste the web address).
4. The QR code updates live as you type.
5. Click Download and choose PNG or SVG.

That's it. The code is ready to print or share.

The 8 QR code types

QRhubly supports eight content types, so the code does the right thing the moment someone scans it:

| Type | What it does when scanned | |---|---| | URL | Opens a website or link | | Text | Shows plain text | | Email | Opens a new email to an address (optionally with subject + body) | | Phone | Starts a phone call to a number | | SMS | Opens a new text message to a number | | WhatsApp | Opens a WhatsApp chat with a number (optionally with a prefilled message) | | WiFi | Connects the phone to a WiFi network (no typing the password) | | vCard | Saves your contact details to the phone's address book |

Pick the type that matches your goal — a restaurant uses URL (menu) or WiFi (guest network), a business card uses vCard, a support poster uses Phone or WhatsApp.

Static vs dynamic

By default the code you create is static — the content is encoded directly into the QR pattern, so it works forever and never expires, but you can't change where it points after you print it.

If you want to change the destination later (for example, swap a lunch menu for a dinner menu) without reprinting, create a dynamic code instead. See Static vs dynamic QR codes for the full explanation.

Designing the code

Once your content is set, you can style the code — colors, gradients, a center logo, dot and eye styles, and the quiet-zone margin. See How to design a QR code for every option, and How to add a logo for branding it safely.

Downloading

Click Download and pick a format:

• PNG — best for screens, slides, and most print jobs.
• SVG — vector, infinitely scalable; best for large-format print (posters, packaging, signage).

FAQ

Do I need an account to make a QR code? No. The free generator works in your browser with no account. You only need an account to create dynamic codes and track scans.

Will my QR code expire? Static codes never expire — they keep working as long as the destination (e.g. the website) exists. Free dynamic codes pause after 7 days or 50 scans (a trial); a Pro subscription keeps dynamic codes live with no caps.

Is there a watermark or scan limit on the free generator? No watermark and no daily limit on static codes.
