QR codes are everywhere. Learn how to generate your own for links, WiFi, and more with our free generator.

QR codes have made a massive comeback. From restaurant menus to event tickets, they're the quickest way to bridge the physical and digital worlds.

But why rely on a third-party service when you can generate your own with the Axonix QR Generator?

What Can You Encode?

A QR code is essentially a URL shortcut, but it can store much more:

  • Website URLs: The most common use case.
  • Plain Text: A simple message or note.
  • WiFi Credentials: Let guests join your network by scanning.
  • Contact Cards (vCard): Share your info instantly.

Why Use Axonix QR Generator?

Our tool is free, fast, and requires no sign-up.

Key Features:

  1. Instant Preview: See your QR code as you type.
  2. Download Options: Get your code as a PNG.
  3. No Tracking: We don't store your data.

Best Practices

  • Keep URLs Short: Shorter data means a less dense code, which is easier to scan.
  • Test Your Code: Always scan before printing.
  • Add Context: Don't just print a code; tell people what they'll get (e.g., "Scan for Menu").
