How to create a QR code

A QR code is a scannable image that stores a small payload such as a website, Wi‑Fi network, or contact card. FIXTET generates that image in the browser.

Choose what the code should do

Website URLs are the default. FIXTET also encodes Wi‑Fi, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, location, vCard, event, social, payment, and donation payloads. Pick the type that matches the scan action you want.

Preview before you print

The live preview is the same payload you will export. Real-World Scenes show the code on menus, signs, packaging, and apparel so you can judge contrast before committing to print.

Download a file you can actually use

Static QR codes download as PNG, SVG, or WebP without an account and without a watermark. SVG is usually better for print. PNG is usually better for slides and chat apps.

FAQ

Is a static QR code free?
Yes. Static QR creation and download do not require an account. The destination is baked into the image, so changing it later means generating a new file.
When should I use Dynamic QR instead?
Use Dynamic QR when you need to edit the destination after printing or see scan counts. Dynamic QR requires an account and an annual plan.
