Create your QR code

Turn a website link into a QR code in seconds. Download an untracked code without signing up, or use a free account for editable links and scan tracking.

01 / Destination

Where should it take people?

Paste an HTTP or HTTPS link. We add https:// if you leave it out.

Choose your QR code type

The destination is stored directly in your QR code. It cannot be changed after printing, and 27tools does not record its scans.

02 / Design

Pick your style

Black on white. Ready to scan.

Every design keeps a clear white border around the QR pattern.

What’s the difference?

Tracked vs untracked QR codes

A QR code is a scannable way to open a link. The difference is whether the image contains your destination directly, or a hosted link that you can manage later.

Quick start

How to make a QR code for a website

  1. Paste the link you want people to open.
  2. Choose Untracked for an instant local download, or Tracked for an editable hosted link.
  3. Pick one of the eight designs and inspect the preview.
  4. For tracked codes, sign in and create your link. Download PNG or SVG, then scan-test it before sharing.

A website link can point to a menu, booking page, portfolio, product page or an online document. If you link to a PDF, it needs to be available at a public website URL; this maker does not upload files.

After printing

Keep a printed QR code useful

Use a tracked QR code when the destination may change: a seasonal menu, a refreshed brochure, a new booking page or a campaign landing page. Update the managed link in your account and the existing printed QR image can continue to work.

Static QR codes are useful for stable destinations and simple one-off downloads. Their image contains the exact destination, so they do not depend on a 27tools redirect.

Compare Free and PRO tracked-link plans or open your QR dashboard.

Export and print

PNG or SVG: choose your download

Choose PNG for a document, presentation or everyday web graphic. Choose SVG when you need a scalable vector file for a print layout. Both formats use the same QR pattern and design.

Leave the light border around the code, keep its proportions and test it at the size you plan to use. Scanning depends on the printed size, camera, distance, surface and lighting, so a real phone test is more useful than assuming a code will scan in every situation.

Privacy and tracking

Know what is saved

Untracked QR generation and downloads happen in your browser. Your entered destination is not sent to the QR creation API in this mode. The page still uses 27tools’ ordinary site analytics.

Tracked links are saved to your account on 27tools so they can redirect, be edited and record qualifying scans. Scan analytics provides approximate first and repeat visits rather than a precise count of people. Read the privacy policy for more about the site.

Questions, answered

QR Code Maker FAQs

Can I make a QR code for free without signing up?

Yes. Choose Untracked, enter a website link and download a PNG or SVG. The untracked code is generated in your browser and does not need an account.

What is the difference between tracked and untracked QR codes?

An untracked, or static, code contains the destination itself. A tracked code contains a hosted 27tools short link which redirects to your destination. That hosted link lets you change the destination and view qualifying scan activity.

Why do tracked QR codes need an account?

Your free account identifies the owner of each hosted link so only you can manage its destination and view its scan analytics. You can create up to three tracked links on the Free plan.

Can I change the website after printing the QR code?

You can change a managed tracked link in your account without replacing its printed QR image. An untracked code has a fixed encoded destination, so changing that destination requires making and printing a new code.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

PNG is convenient for everyday documents and online graphics. SVG is a vector file that can scale for print layouts. Keep the white border around the code and avoid stretching or cropping it.

Will an untracked QR code expire?

The generated image has no expiry set by 27tools and does not use our redirect service. It will keep encoding the same link, but the destination website must still exist and remain accessible.

What do the scan counts mean?

Tracked link analytics counts qualifying visits to the hosted redirect. Bot filtering and repeat-visit detection are approximate; the counts are useful estimates, not an exact count of individual people. The owner can view the link’s analytics in the account dashboard.

What happens if I pause, delete or downgrade a tracked link?

Pausing or deleting a tracked link stops it redirecting. If PRO ends, you can choose three saved links to keep manageable and tracked on Free. Other active links become read-only and stop recording scans, while their printed codes continue redirecting to the saved destination.

How do I check that my QR code scans properly?

Scan the exported image with a phone before sharing or printing it. Test the printed size, lighting and viewing distance too. Use dark modules on a white background, leave the quiet border intact and check that the expected destination opens.
