Common Uses Worth Knowing
| Use case | What goes into the code |
|---|---|
| WiFi sharing | Network name + password, formatted so phones auto-connect on scan |
| Restaurant menu | A link to your menu page |
| Business card | Contact info, formatted so it saves directly to contacts |
| Event/social link | A URL to your page, form, or profile |
The Basic Process
- Decide what the code should contain (a link, text, WiFi details, etc.)
- Generate the code.
- Download it as an image.
The Part Most Generators Skip: Actually Checking It Works
Plenty of QR generators hand you an image without ever confirming it scans. Low contrast, a logo covering too much of the code, or a color combination that looks fine on screen can all produce a code that fails in the real world — after it's already printed on a menu or flyer.
A Better Way: Generate and Verify in One Step
Rather than trusting that a generated code works, it's worth using a tool that reads the code back immediately after creating it and confirms it actually scans — catching a bad code before you print it, not after.
If You Already Have a QR Code That's Not Working
If you're troubleshooting an existing code rather than making a new one, that's a slightly different problem — worth diagnosing directly rather than just regenerating blindly.
