How do I create a QR code for free?

Enter your URL or text in ZapFile's QR Code Generator, customize the size and colors if desired, then download as PNG. No sign-up required.

Static QR codes (like those generated by ZapFile) never expire. The encoded data is stored directly in the code's pattern, not on a server.

What can I encode in a QR code?

You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi credentials, and more. ZapFile's generator works for any text input.

For reliable scanning, print QR codes at least 2cm × 2cm (about 0.8 inches). For large-format printing like posters, generate at 1000px or higher.

Runs on your device, not our servers

This page uses browser APIs (Canvas, WebAssembly, workers, etc.) so your files stay on your machine.

Processing happens in this tab — close the tab and the session ends.
No ZapFile account is required and we do not store your uploads (there are none).
Download only what you choose; nothing is sent to us for “cloud processing.”
Verify it yourself: DevTools → Network while using a tool — you should not see your file bytes uploaded to ZapFile.
Add ZapFile to your home screen for a faster app shell and offline access to cached pages (tools still need a capable browser).
