How to Create a QR Code in Three Steps

Create your QR code

1. Choose the target type, enter its required values, customise the preview, download the PNG and scan-test the exact file before using it.
2. Design controls include foreground, background and quiet-zone colours, individual corner markers, dot scale, title, size and error-correction level.
3. Keep strong contrast, preserve a clear quiet zone, test the final printed size on more than one phone and repeat the test after adding a logo or changing colours.

What Posty5 creates

Posty5 builds the preview in your browser and downloads it as a PNG without requiring an account. Signing in is required only when you want to save and manage the QR record.

The seven supported targets are free text, email, Wi-Fi, phone call, SMS, URL and geolocation. Contact cards and other unlisted targets are not part of the verified generator.

Prepare for print

Keep strong contrast, preserve a clear quiet zone, test the final printed size on more than one phone and repeat the test after adding a logo or changing colours.

Fix scanning problems

If scanning fails, check the encoded value, blur, glare, low contrast, damaged corners, a crowded quiet zone, excessive logo coverage and the real scanning distance.
