Free QR Code generator without pitfalls

This QR Code generator is a gift to the Internet community brought to you by Andreas Haerter and Andreas Wolf. QR Codes created on goQR.me are completely free of charge (commercial and print usage allowed, including advertising). If you are going to use them, we would be happy to see a recommendation by linking http://goqr.me/. Or talk about it on Twitter or Facebook.

We take your privacy very seriously

We do not track or analyse the QR Codes generated on this website. Especially, we do not store any vCard address data for marketing or other purposes. To get good performance, the generated image files will be cached for round about 30 seconds. That's all.

Even better: QR Codes with logo

QR Codes are an incredibly useful mobile marketing tool. Simply scanning a text is way easier than typing it on a tiny on-screen keyboard. Save your visitors time and thus increase your click rates!

To make QR Codes more efficient, we can also brand them for you—with your logo and in your colours. An image in the QR Code attracts additional attention and directly shows what the code is about.

We're happy to advise you and create a print-optimized file quickly and reliably: QR Code with logo.

Information about the QR Code generator

QR Codes are two-dimensional bar codes in which information is depicted by black and white dots (so-called "square data dots" or "data pixels"). If the contrast between foreground and background is high enough and the image is not inverted, it is also possible to use colours. 2D barcodes can be compared to one-dimensional barcodes, as seen on products in supermarkets. In contrast to these barcodes, QR graphics can contain up to 3000 characters on a relatively small space. The information for the QR Code is encoded according to ISO/IEC 18004:2006. The high density of information and many available reader application make QR Codes an ideal marketing instrument: QR Code reading apps are available for almost every smartphone with a camera (e.g. iPhone, Google Android, Blackberry, Symbian). The graphic can also be scanned and decoded with older mobile phones with a camera – there is free software (e.g. i-nigma) even for less widespread platforms.

The history of QR Codes

The QR Code was invented for the automotive industry. Toyota asked their supplier Denso Wave to develop a barcode for safely and easily identifying components. QR generators were originally used in industry. Because of the outstanding error correction performance (they can be read even if up to 30% of the surface are destroyed) and a lot of applications, the QR Code quickly made its way around the world.

Create QR Codes yourself

Just type your text, URL, an SMS or your contact data here on goqr.me—the QR Code is created automatically, ready for you to download or embed on your website. You can of course also use the QR Code on your products or printed material like flyers or business cards. This way you create a direct connection between the products you tag with the QR Code and the internet. Mobile, everywhere and at any time.

QR Codes make it possible to directly transfer a link to a mobile device. This greatly lowers the barrier to visit a website with such a device. But there's more: You can also transfer your slogans, phone numbers or even complete business cards in the vCard format can be encoded with our QR Code generator and transferred to mobile devices.

QR Codes can do more

QR Codes can contain more than just a simple link to a website: Use them to link to a video, your Facebook profile or an MP3 file—anything a modern smartphone is capable of doing. Directly take your visitors to the relevant content, without the hassle of typing in complicated URLs. Some examples:

play a Youtube video
add an entry to the user's calendar
start an image gallery
ease installing an app from the App Store or Android Market
send a predefined short message (premium services)
send a Tweet with your content
visit Google+/Facebook profile
call a phone number
show contact data as a vCard/meCard
show your branding on textiles (T-shirts, bags) and other articles like mugs
show your profile on recommendation services like Qype
use QR Codes in blogs (Wordpress etc)
