How to Generate a QR Code in 3 Steps
From destination URL to scannable, branded QR code in under a minute. No account needed to try it.
Paste Your Destination
Enter the URL, contact card, plain text, or other content you want the QR code to deliver when scanned.
Customize Your Design
Pick a pattern, corner style, and color scheme. Upload your logo. Set the error correction level. Your QR code updates in real time as you design.
Download and Deploy
Download as SVG for infinite scaling, PNG for digital use, or PNG 1200 for high-quality print. Use it on menus, packaging, flyers, trade show banners, or anywhere scannable codes connect your offline presence to online content.
Why QR Codes Matter for Small Business
QR codes are how small businesses bridge offline and online. A scan on a restaurant menu turns a customer into a newsletter subscriber. A scan on product packaging takes a buyer to a how-to video. A scan on a business card saves your contact info to their phone in one tap.
But a generic black-and-white QR code blends in, fails to build brand recognition, and often looks suspicious enough that customers hesitate to scan. A branded QR code with your logo, colors, and custom design does three things at once:
- Gets noticed. A distinctive design earns attention on a crowded menu, package, or flyer.
- Earns trust. A branded code signals your business cared enough to design it. Customers scan more readily.
- Reinforces identity. Every scan is a small brand touchpoint, not a generic utility.
ShortifyMe gives you this level of customization without requiring a paid plan. Every free account can use the full design toolkit.
Full Customization on Every Plan
Most QR code generators give you a few preset colors and call it customization. ShortifyMe gives you every tool needed to make the code match your brand. All five options below are available on every account type, including Free.
8 Preset Colors Plus Full Hex Control
Pick from 8 ready-to-use preset colors, or enter your exact brand hex values for the foreground, background, outer corner, and inner corner independently. Your QR code matches your brand exactly, not "close enough."
Upload Your Logo
Drop your logo or any image into the center of the QR code. It stays scannable thanks to error correction while instantly signaling your brand to anyone who sees it.
7 Corner Styles to Choose From
The three corner "eyes" of a QR code are its most distinctive visual element. Pick from 7 different corner styles ranging from classic squares to rounded and fluid shapes to match your brand's design language.
6 Data Pattern Styles
Change the style of the data blocks that make up the body of the QR code. Pick from 6 pattern options to give your code a distinct look that stands out from generic black-and-white codes.
4 Error Correction Levels
Choose from Low (7%), Medium (15%), Quartile (25%), or High (30%) error correction. Higher levels let your QR code stay scannable even if it's partially damaged, creased, or covered by a logo. Critical for print materials that will take physical wear.

First, full customization on every plan. 6 patterns, 7 corner styles, 8 preset colors plus hex, logo upload, and 4 error correction levels are all available on the free plan, not locked behind a paywall. Second, no ads ever. ShortifyMe never injects ads or redirect pages between a scan and the destination. Third, the QR codes are permanent with no scan limits and no surprise expirations. Most competitors either gate customization behind paid tiers, show ads on free-tier scans, or set scan limits on their free QR codes. ShortifyMe does none of these.
