Frequently asked questions
Can I change the font of the caption?
There is no font picker. The caption is drawn in the sans-serif this site uses, at a size that follows the code, and it takes the code color so the two match.
Does the text below affect the scannability of the QR code?
A label placed outside the required four-module quiet zone should not cover QR modules, but the exported image must still be tested. The scanner will only focus on the QR pattern itself, while the text provides a helpful visual cue for the human user.
Can I get an SVG output from this tool?
Yes. A PNG button and an SVG button both sit under the code, and the caption is written into the SVG as real text rather than flattened.
How long can my text label be?
While there is no fixed limit, long labels will wrap to multiple lines and may become too small to read. A concise call-to-action of a few words, like 'Scan for Menu', is most effective.
Is the text part of the QR code data?
No. The text label is a visual element for human readers only and is not part of the encoded data. When scanned, the device will only read the data you entered in the main QR code content field.
Can I put a logo in the middle of any of these codes?
Yes — the logo picker is on every generator mode, not only the logo pages. Size runs from 40 to 100 percent and error correction locks to H automatically so the covered modules stay readable.
How do I check the code I just made actually works?
Read it back here. The same site has a scanner that takes either a camera or an image file, so a code made with a logo or a heavy color can be verified before it goes to print.
The Importance of a Call-to-Action
This tool creates a standard QR code and adds a line of custom text underneath it, generating a single image file. This is useful for providing context or a clear call-to-action.
- A bare code tells nobody what it does. A line like "Scan for the menu" is what gets it scanned.
- The text is a visual element for the user and is not encoded in the QR code. This keeps the code itself clean and scannable.
Full specification
| What you type | A web address, plus the line of text printed under the code. It starts out as Scan me. |
|---|---|
| The caption | Read by people, not by scanners. It is not part of the encoded data. |
| What you get | Download PNG or SVG. Both downloads sit under the code here, as they do on every mode. |
| Error correction | L, M, Q or H, M to start. Higher levels survive more wear on a printed code. |
| Size and color | 256 to 2048 px in steps of 64, 512 to start. Code color and background each have a picker. |
| Where it runs | In your browser tab. The address and the caption stay on the device. |
| Caption under the code | Text typed here is drawn into both the PNG and the SVG, up to 60 characters, on every mode rather than the caption page alone. |
| Price | Free |
