Common/Questions.

How do I use QRGen?

Head to the generator on the home page, select a QR type (URL, text, WiFi, etc.), fill in the details, and your code renders instantly. From there you can download it or style it with AI.

Is it free to use?

Yes. QRGen is completely free for personal and commercial use — no accounts, no usage limits, no watermarks.

What types of QR codes can I create?

Seven types: URL (website links), plain text, WiFi credentials (auto-joins networks when scanned), vCard contacts (name, phone, email, address), email (pre-filled mailto), SMS (pre-filled text message), and phone number (tap to call).

What download formats are supported?

Standard QR codes export as PNG (raster, great for screens) or SVG (vector, scales infinitely for print). AI-styled codes download as high-resolution PNG images.

Is my data stored?

No. Standard QR codes are generated entirely in your browser using a client-side library. When you use AI styling, your QR image and prompt are sent to OpenAI for processing but are not stored by QRGen.

How does AI styling work?

You describe a visual style in plain language — like "watercolor forest" or "neon cyberpunk." QRGen sends your QR code and prompt to OpenAI, which turns the pattern into your scene. QRGen then checks the result against the original content before offering it for download.

Will AI-styled QR codes still scan?

Each design must decode to your original content at three image sizes before it becomes available to download. Designs that fail are rejected. Always test with your phone camera before printing; lighting, print size, and the scanner can still affect readability.

What size are AI designs?

AI designs use Sunburst at medium quality and render at 1024 × 1024 pixels. Standard QR codes remain available as PNG or scalable SVG.

What browsers are supported?

Any modern browser with Canvas and SVG support — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. QRGen works on both desktop and mobile devices.
