QR Code Generator Guide: URL, Wi-Fi, UPI and Contact Codes

Learn which QR code type to choose for websites, Wi-Fi access, UPI payments, contact cards and marketing.

Published October 04, 2026


Choose the right QR type

A QR code is useful when people need to transfer information from a printed or displayed surface to a phone quickly.

  • URL: send users to a website or landing page.
  • Wi-Fi: share a network name and password with compatible devices.
  • UPI: encode payment information for supported payment apps.
  • vCard: share contact information.
  • Text: display a short note or instruction.

Generate and test

Use the QR Code Generator, enter the required information and generate the code. Always scan the final image from more than one phone before printing it.

Printing tips

Keep sufficient contrast, avoid making the code unnecessarily small and leave a clear margin around it. Test the actual printed version because a screen preview does not guarantee print readability.
