# QR Code Generator

Make a QR code that opens a link, your Instagram profile, a DM with you, an email, a line of text or your Wi-Fi, with your colors and logo, as a PNG or SVG. For creators and sellers who put a code on packaging, flyers, event tables or slides.

## How to use the QR Code Generator

1. Pick what the code opens. Type the link, username, email, text or Wi-Fi details.

2. Set the colors and margin. Add initials or a logo if you like: the tool switches error correction to H so the code still scans.

3. Scan the preview with your phone. Download a PNG for screens or an SVG for print.

## Error correction levels

| Level | Can be damaged or covered | Use it for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| L | about 7% | Long text on a clean screen |
| M | about 15% | Most codes. The usual choice |
| Q | about 25% | Print that may get scuffed or dirty |
| H | about 30% | A logo in the middle, or rough surfaces |

A higher level adds squares, so the same link makes a denser code. Keep the margin at 4 squares: the QR standard asks for a blank border that wide on every side.

## What each code type contains

- **Link:** the address itself. The tool adds `https://` if you leave it out.
- **Instagram profile:** `https://www.instagram.com/username/`.
- **Instagram DM:** `https://ig.me/m/username`, which opens a chat with you in the Instagram app.
- **Email:** a `mailto:` link with the subject and message filled in.
- **Wi-Fi:** `WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;;`, which most phone cameras offer to join. The tool escapes special characters in the name or password.
- **Text:** the words themselves, shown on the phone that scans the code.

These are static codes. The content sits inside the code, so nothing can expire or be switched off. To change where a code points, make a new one.

## Where creators use QR codes

- **Packaging and inserts:** a link to the guide, the reorder page or your Instagram profile.
- **Events and pop-ups:** a code on the table that opens your profile or a DM, so people follow before they leave.
- **Slides and videos:** a code on screen for people watching on another device.

A code brings people to your profile. Next, send your link by DM to everyone who comments your keyword, on Instagram and Facebook. [How comment-to-DM works →](https://phersa.com/comment-to-dm)

## QR Code Generator questions

### Do these QR codes expire, and can I change the link later?

They never expire, and the link can’t be changed. The link sits inside the code itself, with no redirect in between that could be switched off. A new link needs a new code.

### Can I use these QR codes for my business?

Yes. There is no watermark and no sign-up, and the code holds only what you typed. Print it on products, packaging, flyers and ads.

### Can I put a logo in the middle of a QR code?

Yes. Pick Initials or Logo image. The tool switches to error correction H, which still scans with about 30% of the code covered. Test it on a few phones before you print.

### Is PNG or SVG better for a QR code?

PNG for screens, posts and slides. SVG for print: it stays sharp at any size, and printers and design apps open it.

### How do I make a QR code for my Instagram?

Pick Instagram profile and type your username: the code opens your profile. Pick Instagram DM instead to open a chat with you, through an ig.me link.

### Can I print a QR code to an Amazon affiliate link?

No. Amazon’s policies forbid its affiliate links in printed material. Point the code at your own page instead.
