Make a QR-code label template

Generate a scannable QR code sized for a label, then export print-ready SVG, PNG, or PDF. Free, runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Tips for labels

Small labels need larger modules - prefer short payloads (a URL shortener keeps the version low).
Print at 300+ DPI so tiny modules stay crisp.

Long URL -> high QR version -> modules too small at label size; shorten the payload.
Thermal-printer banding can break thin modules.

How sizing & scan checks work, and sources

The code is generated in your browser from your input (nothing is uploaded). Physical size is deterministic: module size = template width ÷ (modules + 2×4-module quiet zone).
We always add the 4-module quiet zone the QR standard requires, and warn when a module would print below 0.4 mm.
Inches = mm ÷ 25.4. Signs use the ~10:1 distance-to-size guideline.
QR technology is free for standards-compliant codes; this is an unofficial tool.
