How to Create a Styled QR Code
Choose your content type, pick a style preset, and your QR code generates instantly. Each preset controls dot shape, corner style, colors, and gradients — not just colors.
Customize further with the Advanced Styling panel: choose from 6 dot patterns (square, dots, rounded, extra-rounded, classy, classy-rounded), 6 corner square styles, and 2 corner dot styles. Add gradients and upload your own logo.
Add a decorative frame with customizable shapes, colors, gradients, and labels. Choose from presets like “Scan Me” badge, speech bubble, ticket stub, or design your own.
Download in 5 formats: PNG, SVG, PDF, JPEG, and WebP. Set custom dimensions up to 4096px, add quiet zone margins, and choose your own filename.
