Getting started

Make your first QR code

Create a QR code in the playground and download it. Free, with no account and no watermark.

You can make a QR code in about a minute. You don't need an account.

Make the code

  1. Open the playground. This is the QRdx editor.
  2. URL is already selected. For Wi-Fi, a contact card, WhatsApp or anything else, click Change next to QR code type and pick a type.
  3. Type your link in Website address. The preview shows your code as soon as the address is valid.
  4. Optional: pick a look under Start from a style, or open the Design tab to change colors, dots, eyes, the logo and the frame.
  5. Click the download icon above the preview, or press D. Choose a format and size, then download.

Below the address, QRdx shows where scans will open, for example "Scans open example.com". Check it before you print.

Before you print

Check the Scan score under the preview. A score of 85 or more is great. Below 65, fix the checks marked with a cross. See Check a design with the scan score.

Then scan the code with your own phone.

Codes from the playground are static

A code you download from the playground is static: the link is stored inside the code. It works forever, but you can't change it after printing.

If you might need to change the link later, make it a dynamic code instead. See Static or dynamic.
