What this is, and what it is not

It draws a standard QR code. The payloads are the ones every phone camera understands: a plain link, the WIFI: form for networks, a vCard for contacts, mailto: and tel: for the rest. What you get is exactly what is shown under the code.

The SVG is real vector. It scales to a poster with no blur, and the PNG is drawn at the size you ask for with the quiet zone included. Print at any size; scanners need the border.

Colour and transparency are yours to break. Dark modules on a light ground scan; the reverse, or two similar colours, often do not. Test it with a phone before you print five hundred.

It does not shorten links or track scans. A code that goes through a tracking redirect is what the generator sites sell. This one encodes the address you typed and nothing knows when it is scanned.

Nothing leaves this tab. The Wi-Fi password, the phone number, the contact card: none of it is sent anywhere. With a folder connected, the downloads are filed under Sovereign Suite/QRMAKER.

Questions people ask

Which error correction level should I use?

M for almost everything. L makes the smallest code when the text is long. H lets about a third of the code be damaged or covered and still scan, which is what you want on a sticker that will be scuffed or if you plan to put a logo over the middle.

How much can a QR code hold?

About 2,900 characters of plain text at the lowest correction level, and less at higher ones. A contact card with an address is a few hundred characters and scans fine; a whole paragraph makes a dense code that needs a good camera.

Why does my Wi-Fi code not connect the phone?

Check the network name is exact, including capitals and spaces, and that the security type matches the router: a WPA3 network is still WPA here. Phones join the network only when they scan with the built-in camera app, not from inside a browser.

Can I put a logo on it?

Not here, and you can afterwards: with error correction set to H, a logo covering up to about a fifth of the middle still leaves the code readable. Keep the three corner squares clear.
