PNG QR code generator: one image per code

Every line of your list becomes a separate PNG image, and the caption goes into the file name. Up to 1,500 codes at once. Free, no sign-up.

Step 1 · Content

1 link per line, the caption after a space One line = one QR code.
The caption is printed under the code: add it after the link, separated by a space. You do not have to write "https://".example.com
example.com/menu Table 5When importing CSV or Excel (XLSX), the second column of the file becomes the caption.
Limits: up to 1500 links at once, a caption up to 100 characters.

Step 2 · Look and size

"SVG one by one" and "PNG one by one" files contain the code itself, without a sheet, frame or caption. Sheet settings come back when you choose PDF or "SVG per sheet". A PNG has no size in centimeters, the image comes out about 1200 px wide. For large print take SVG.

Fine tuning optional

Color

No fill: the code sits on the layout background, which has to be light. In a PDF this is the color of the paper.

  • The image is the code and its quiet zone, with no frame.
  • The image is 1,000 to 1,200 pixels on a side.
  • "Transparent background" sits under "Fine tuning".

How to make a QR code in PNG

  1. Paste the list. Enter one line per code: links, plain text, phones, SMS, email, Wi-Fi or contact cards (vCard). A line can carry a caption. For links, phones and email the caption goes after a space. For text and SMS it goes after "|". For a long list, import a TXT, CSV or Excel (XLSX) file.
  2. Set the colors and the logo. In step 2 "Look and size", add a logo in the middle of the code: a PNG or JPG file up to 256 KB. Set the code color and the background color in "Fine tuning". The generator checks the contrast between them. The PNG gets the same colors and logo as the preview. The code size in centimeters, the sheet format and the margins apply to sheets only.
  3. Download the PNG. On this page the PNG output is already picked. Click "Download PNG".

When PNG works better than a PDF sheet

Use the PDF sheet when you print the codes in a grid and cut them apart. Sometimes you need each code on its own: in a product listing, on a slide, in a Word document, or in a layout someone else is building. With the PNG output every line of the list turns into an image you drop into place.

Search the folder by the caption and you find the right code without opening images one after another. Write the captions in the list, or take them from the second column when you import from Excel.

To print a grid of codes, download the PDF. The page printing QR codes on a sheet covers the sheet formats and the print settings. For a print shop or a design editor, download the vector SVG.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution are the PNG files?

Every image is between 1,000 and 1,200 pixels on a side, close to 1,200 for short links. The exact number depends on how many modules the code has: every module takes a whole number of pixels, which keeps the edges sharp. The quiet zone of 4 modules is already inside the image. At 300 dpi the image prints 8.5 to 10 cm (3.3 to 3.9 in) wide, quiet zone included.

Why did I get a ZIP and not a PNG?

A list with one line gives one PNG file. With two lines or more, the generator packs the images into a ZIP, so you do not download them one at a time.

What are the files named?

The file name is the line number plus the caption, for example "qr-0001 Table 5.png". A line with no caption gives "qr-0001.png". Sort by name and the files line up in the order of the list.

Can the PNG have a transparent background?

Turn on "Transparent background" under "Fine tuning". The PNG then has an alpha channel, with no fill under the modules or in the quiet zone. Put the image on a light, plain background, because a camera needs contrast between the modules and what is behind them.

Are the captions printed on the image?

No. Only the code is in the image. Captions are printed under the codes on sheets: in the PDF and in "SVG per sheet".

Does the logo go into the PNG?

Yes. With a logo the generator switches the code to the highest error correction, so the modules under the logo do not stop a phone from reading the code. Scan one file with your phone before you use the rest.

When should I pick PNG and when SVG?

PNG is a raster image with a fixed pixel size. It goes straight into a document or a social post. SVG is vector, for print shops and design editors. For an image wider than 10 cm, use SVG.
