The QR Code Generator
That's Actually Free
Generate QR codes for URLs, WiFi networks, vCards, SMS, email, and plain text right in your browser. No signup. No subscription. No files sent to our servers. Just generate and download.
Why We Exist
Most "free" QR code generators aren't really free!
You fill in your details, customise the design, go to download — and hit a paywall. Some charge monthly subscriptions. Some slap their branding on your QR code. Some quietly store your data on their servers.
Simplified QR is different. Everything runs in your browser. Your data is never uploaded anywhere. Generating is free. Downloading is free. Always.
You NEVER need an account to generate QR codes. No watermarks, no branding, no subscriptions.
Three steps. No account. No waiting.
Step 1: Enter Your Content
Type a URL, WiFi password, contact info,
SMS message, or plain text.
Nothing is sent to any server.
Step 2: Customise
Choose colours and dot style.
Add a logo if you want.
Preview updates live as you type.
Step 3: Download
Click download and save as PNG or SVG.
Print-ready quality, no watermarks.
That's it. Free forever.
Every QR code type you need.
URL QR Codes
Generate QR codes that open any website or link. Perfect for business cards, flyers, menus, and anywhere you want to bridge print and digital.
WiFi QR Codes
Let guests connect to your WiFi by scanning a code — no typing required. Supports WPA2, WEP, and open networks.
vCard / Contact
Share your contact details with a scan. Name, phone, email, and organisation — all saved instantly to the scanner's contacts.
SMS QR Codes
Pre-fill a text message with a recipient number and body text. One scan opens the Messages app ready to send.
Email QR Codes
Pre-address an email with recipient, subject, and body. Ideal for feedback forms, support requests, and contact pages.
Plain Text
Encode any plain text — notes, coupons, serial numbers, instructions. Simple and universally readable.
PNG & SVG Export
Download your QR code as a high-resolution PNG for screens or as a scalable SVG for print. No watermarks. No branding.
Nothing Uploaded, Ever
Your content never leaves your device. No cloud storage. No third-party access. What you encode is only ever seen by you.
Your QR code data is none of our business.
When you generate a QR code with WiFi passwords, personal contact info, or private URLs in most tools, you're sending that data to a stranger's server. You're trusting their security. Their staff. Their privacy policy buried in 8,000 words of legal text.
Simplified QR works differently. All processing happens inside your own browser, on your own device. When you generate a QR code, the data never leaves your machine — it doesn't touch our servers because it never gets sent to them.
No account means no data to breach. No uploads mean no exposure. Simple.

We built Simplified QR because we got tired of the same bait-and-switch. You search for "free QR code generator", you find one, you customise it, you click download — and suddenly it's $12 a month or it adds a watermark. That's not free. Simplified QR will always let you download your QR codes for free.
Built for every everyday use case
