Scan it with your camera and check that it works before you print.
Ideas for teachers and parents
A QR code maker turns a link or a piece of text into a code that a phone camera can scan. Add a code to a worksheet that leads to an answers page, so students can check their own work when they finish.
On a party invitation you can print a QR code with a link to the location, and on the classroom door a link to a Google Forms sign-up. Choose a caption that says where the code leads, such as "Sign up for the activity here", and check ahead of time that the link is open to the right audience.
A PNG download suits slides and documents, while SVG stays sharp at any size. You can print one big code for a sign, or a page of 6 or 12 labels. Keep the white frame around the code so it scans easily.
Frequently asked questions
Is the QR code maker free?
Yes. You can create, download and print codes without signing up. The code itself never expires, but any link inside it needs to stay online.
Is my content sent to a server?
No. The text, phone number and Wi-Fi password stay in your browser and are not sent to a server or to usage analytics. Anyone who scans the code can read what is inside, so share a Wi-Fi code only with people who should have access.
Why will my code not scan?
Try a darker color and a bigger print, keep the white margin around the code, and test it with your phone camera. A code that holds a lot of text needs to be printed larger.
How do I make a WhatsApp QR code?
Choose WhatsApp and enter the number with the country code and without a leading zero, for example 14155550123. You can add a ready-made message. Scanning the code does not send it automatically.
