Step-by-Step Guide
5 steps · takes under 1 minute
Open the QR Code Generator
Navigate to the QR Code Generator on ImgToolkit. No account needed.
Paste your website URL
Enter the full URL including https:// — for example https://yourwebsite.com. A shorter URL produces a less dense, more easily scannable QR code.
Choose size and style
Select the output size. Larger sizes are better for print. Choose foreground and background colors if you want a branded QR code.
Test the QR code before using it
Scan the generated QR code with your phone camera before downloading. Always test before printing or distributing.
Download and use
Download as PNG for digital use or high-resolution print. For large-format printing, use the largest available size.
