Create QR codes in vector format

Very nice (and handy); I found it just when i needed it, Thank you!

Thanks Peter – this looks like just what we’ll be needing for an upcoming project. Looking forward to further news.

Awesome, but it only generates an URL. Very often the QR tag would need to be something else, like trigger a phone call, or a vCard.

that’s a nice looking QR code generator, did you already submit a proposal to Zend for a Zend Framework component?

Keep up the good work!

Peter,
Thank you very much for your code generator page.
That is what I was looking for. Now I can place the code in my layout in illustrator. The print is perfectly clean.
However I hope the link will be available for long time yet !

Warmly,
Luc

Please Submit the code to Zend Framework.

If you don’t, could you send me the code to be used in my project? Thank’s

Was this project ever finished? It seems to work pretty well and I’d love to take a look at the code behind it!

Thank you for providing such a great tool. I generated 4 codes and saved them out in EPS format. They work perfectly!

Awesome, thank you very much !
What a nice UI by the way !

thanks! you have helped me generate my first-ever QR code

Very nice tool. However, on the Android, the scan does not show the target URL on screen. This is a barrier to users opening the URL in a browser. This onscreen display must be embedded in the QR code because the Zxing codes show the URL on screen.

Zxing code sample: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=350×350&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com

wow…its huge…….thanks a lot for sharing.

Really nice work. Thank you.
Works great with the Barcode Scanner app on Android. No problems at all.

Hi. Great website. My only problem is that I cannot put the whole url in.

When I try to put http://www.completeinsight.co/communication-solutions/2d-qr-quick-response-codes/

it cuts it off

http://www.completeinsight.co/communication-solutions/2d-qr-quick-response-codes/

Awesome tool, thanks for putting it together. I did, however, notice a slight issue. HTTPS links don’t work. When I embed the following url: HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM the generated QR code redirects to HTTP://HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM resulting in a broken link.

Thanks for the awesome work!

Salut !

Pourrais-tu ajouter la possibilité d’encoder du texte en plus d’une url ?

Merci !

Nice generator. Love it.
But, would like it to support longer URLs. When I see practicle usage of this is when you link to an article on the webpage that may have a long and complexed URL (the one I tried had 5 lettert to much)

Thanks, this works great! We needed qr-code with outlines for our printer to print the code on running shirts for a big running event in The Hague. Your code works just fine, also on our shirts!

Hi. Love your QR Code creator site. I use it a lot but I was wondering how easy it would be to create a webpage for my workplace using the code creator so it looks like we have our own code creator.

Hi Peter! Works a charm on the few examples i popped! Great work!

I’m glad that I found your site, thanks a lot. It worked great for me.

This is a great resource! Thanks!

Thank you, that’s exactly what I needed for my project!

Hello,

I found this fantastic vector-solution!

Very nice piece of work, my complements. I do have an idea for expanding your already great tool. In essence QR-code is generated from a string. If you could add the option to simply input (any) plain text to be translated into a QR-code your tool would be functional for all an any purpose!

Thanks man, u saved me to much time with the vector version!

Any chance on putting the output format in the REST GET or POST? ie. format=svg

Is this ok for commercial use?

I just tested something on the qr codes – if you place an image dark enough (yellow didn’t work) to cover the black area of the qr code it will still function. That might be a cool thing to add in the generator: upload your own image as an overlay.

Thanks for this generator. I have found other vector file generators. However, they were drawn with just lines and were not editable. This was a great file that I can use with my clients and show them the benefit. Thank you.

Thank you! Exactly what I needed.

Hi Peter, I was wondering… some QR-code readers (like the Barcode Scanner app on Android) show the contents of a QR-code without doing anything but showing the content it contains. As a user I can then make the choice to either visit the link that was ‘generated’ or, for example, just read the text. I imagine more QR-code readers work this way, which opens the door to not just only add a link, but also additional text:

“Hi, I’m … and this is my website about examples: http://www.example.com”

When I enter this in your online QR-tool (http://qr.inthepocket.mobi/) I get: “http://Hi, I’m … and this is my website about examples: http://www.example.com” …

Would it perhaps be a good idea to add this feature, which in fact would mean only stripping out the http:// bit in some way?

And, of course, loving your QR-thingie!

Brilliant, and very well designed page also. Good Stuff.

Could you make it so that the filename of the output was the name of the URL we put in? Maybe plus the numbers you have if it’s necessary.

thank you, that was really helpful for business cards of our internet project.

You have created exactly what I have been looking for – thank you. Only problem I have is the field in the code generator for inserting the URL in to is too short and doesnt want to accept the following URL http://www.oakridgecg.com.au/Renewable_energy_2/TheGroveRenewableEnergy-1.html. It such a good generator I hope you are able to allow the longer URLs. Cheers

Great generator!! Thanks:)

thank you dude. you saved a bunch of my time. Thank a lot

excellent generator, thank you! i noticed that after the redesign, it doesn’t seem like the high-maximum quality settings are working? it appears that all the generated codes look low-medium.

thanks for your quick response! sorry, i wasn’t descriptive enough. i was actually thinking not of the size of the entire code, but the complexity within the code. it seemed that before, when i clicked either high or max, the code would get more complex-looking than when it was med or low. it seems that they all look the same now no matter which ECC level is selected.

Grt! that i could find it at the right moment, when i needed..
Hat`s off to the inventors, please keep it up!

thanks so much!! this generator is the best out there. keep it up.

How about a couple of code generation options… a foursquare checking (insert location ID) – i found this one, its simple

and a facebook checkin… (can find that anywhere)

So.. your widget could generate autopmated checkin codes.

and anything else like that.

cheers and keep up the good work

Awesome facility. Really neat, simple and convenient. Good going!

Great tool, especially that it generates vectorized versions as well. I find myself missing the option to add an URL to the vCard or the meCard.

Great tool! Just what I was looking for…

Great tool! It would be nice to:

1. Add a URL field to vCard and meCard
2. Allow multi-line text in the text form. I even tried hot-editing the Javascript to post my own multi-line text instead, but apparently there is some sort of server-side checking

Awesomesauce! Thanks a bunch for this magic

Just what I was looking for. Appreciate your hard work… Thanks!

So freaking cool! Thanks for sharing.

I’d like to generate a qr code that contains the text of an entire book (40,000 words or so) – is it possible to do so with a QR code that is no bigger than one 8/5 X11 ” printed page?

Great work.

very helpful tool and easy.
thanks a lot from the very most nice place in switzerland:) lake of thune.

Really, really useful. Many, many thanks!

Just 1 improvement request…for the VCF option, can you include a URL field?

It would be great if there was an option to create the QRcode on transparent background. very useful when incorporating into a printed design. is there any quick way to do that? am i missing any settings for that option? thanks!!

Nice to have a vector generator. Much needed.

Hey, thanks! I’m not techie and found your qr generator super easy to generate in eps format.

Worked slicker ‘n snail snot! It is perfect! I’ve bookmarked the page and will be using it more often.

Thanks!

Would be extremely helpful to have a URL field for vCard. Any chance you could add that? Many thanks,

Simply perfect : quick, easy, well done. Congrats, that’s really a great job.
Many thanks !

This was the first QR code generator I ever used, and I’ve never considered using a different one. Just perfect.

Thanks a lot. Perfect as I need..QR in vector!
Very very useful.

Thanks for making such a great tool!

I created a code with a hyperlink and got a question from our distribution center asking what will happen if they scan the code with a bar code scanner. Will it generate a numeric code or something else?

Hi –
I am waiting to hear back from the distribution center on what type of scanner they are planning to purchase, it sounds like it may be compatible with QR codes. If I have questions once they actually the product, I will let you know.
Thanks.

I really need a URL field in the vCard … that would be awesome!

Hi
Thanks a lot for this great tool !

Hi!

You must change so that the EPS & PDF is 100% K (black) not rich black, it will probably get bad in print.

peace

my bad, it was 100 K

Hello Mr. Minne…I must say I’ve become a fan in a very short time! LOL…I paid to have a qr generator developed but urs kicks butt! I have a few ideas I’d like to run past u if possible. I don’t know if ur code is open source or not but I’d like to see if u would be interested in my ideas

yes I like very much!! hahahaha…how hard would it be to get a “RAW” version of the code …outside of the Zend Framework? we are looking to give people a more engaging mobile platform. It’s a balanced platform that comprises of QR codes, SMS and a mobile website builder. I would LOVE TO USE your QR Generator as the bases of our QR component

Thank you Very Much Mr. Minne.
i’m just asking if you might be interested in maybe contributing, FOR PAY ofcourse, if needs be on any enhancement we may need? I ask because since you developed this awesome Generator then if we need changes done then who better to ask..lol! but i just wanted to ask and probe the possibilities. Thank you for your help…Eric.

Hello Mr. Minne, I was wondering if you had read or seen the email I sent you yesterday? My developer has hit a snag and I was wondering if you was available to give me your thoughts regarding my email. Hope all is well and maybe we can talk here soon….Eric.

Absolutely awesome generator!
Thank you so much for making it available and free!!!

BTW… I was curious about something.
Could there be a way to create a code that includes some sort of js that would help users convert the data to a digital business card to add to their contacts in outlook, gmail, etc?

Thanks for making your source code available for use. Any chance you could develop an API similar to esponce.com?

Love this generator. Awesome job man!

Been using this a while and the results are perfect. Best qr code generator out there.

I would like to see a method for creating an ‘SMS message’ QR code

the vector output option is fabulous…you will be saving Designers (including me) around the world A LOT of time with this!

Hello Peter,
I really like your wonderful qr producer. It spends me a lot of time saving, because it generates vector formats, too. Thank you very much for your generosity to make this tool available for everyone – hopefully for a long time yet.
Best regards
Frank

Hi — you are wonderful to share this with the world!

I’m new at this and wondering if there is a way to track how many people scan the codes, on what days, etc.

Again, thank you!
LaLi

I’ve just noticed recently that the QR codes have started including ads, not just on the codes generated, but also on the website once you go to it. Is there any way to avoid this? it makes it undesirable for professional use. Do you have a paid version or something that doesn’t have ads?

Thanks Peter – this is just what I needed for an upcoming project. Great tool!

@LaLi: If your qr codes are links you will find this in the stats of your website – at least those who followed the link. It is suitable to use a link specially for your qr codes, in order to separate these visitors from the others.

@Mave: I never noticed any ads with the qr codes of this generator here. Maybe you should use an other reader software.

Frank

Very useful tool.
Have you considered International Characters.
I’m from Quebec, the small patch of french in the Americas. The only solution I got for french characters was from this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1612062/unicode-encoding-and-decoding-issues-in-qrcode
Suggesting to encode the text in UTF-8 and add a BOM to specify that the string is actually in UTF-8

Your vector approach is superior in so many way to a bitmap only solution. Is there any chance to get an encoding field to offer accented character with your tool ?

Hi Peter,

Thank for this nice tool. The name of your site is also quite attractive

It looks like you’re missing a spot to put a website or note on the MECARD. Take a look here: http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/ If you could make it work like that, and show the actual code that it created, but still allow for download in vector, that’d be awesome!

I would love to be able to enter more than 1 line of text, so I can custom tweak the vCard info!

Allow a Text type that allows carriage returns please.

Fields like State are omitted, and I don’t need title, but like the other fields.

Thank you very much! This is just we need for our products!

saludos desde Perú, muy buena aplicación felicitaciones. No piensas sacar una version off-line?

Thank you Peter for this awesome tool, I love it!

Love the tool. Is it possible to have two phone numbers on the meCard or vCard?
Thanks

Does the QR Code has an expiration date?

Great, saved me loads of time. Thanks!!

Great tool. The vector function is a nice time saver. Thanks!

Thanks for a great tool! I’m running into an issue trying to edit the QR codes to make them a little more visually appealing. When i try to ‘union’ the adjoining squares in the code (using Inkscape), it appears that the objects can’t be joined like a regular shape can. Is there a different .svg object you could use to generate the squares that would allow this?

thanks!

Hi,

I generated a QR code from this site. Super helpful, thanks.
Just had a small query. When we generated and read it, it read perfectly, but 10 days later, it all of a sudden added an a extra Http:// to it!
Is there anyway you can help me amend this because this is for a very important campaign….
Thanks
N

I suggest including and an inverse application

Peter,
Your generator does an outstanding job. A few quick comments and suggestions:

1) For SVG, consider replacing the fill=’#000000′ attribute on the group with style=’fill:#000000;stroke:#000000′ since that will get rid of any tiny flaws at the edges of the blocks.
2) Also for SVG, getting rounded corners on the background is really easy – just add an attribute to the background element -> ry=’29.7′ where the value is 10% of the width/height… it looks great
3) I wish you had not made your code dependent on the Zend Framework. I get that you want it to be seamless and that you use ZF. However, your code doesn’t require the MVC framework and it makes it harder to use it in a nonZF application. Perhaps the code could be split into the generator and a ZF Component wrapper? Just a thought

Hey I’m getting really confused will all of these generators I’ve tried about all of them on the web and they don’t offer what I’ve after. I want in insert the vcard I’ve created it’s in txt form. I would like to host in on my website and use a url shortner. Its should display as “add contact” or download contact.

I can’t find anything that does what I’m after could someone point me in the right direction

Peter are you able to develop any software that will create a QR Code as per the attached web site. we are a printer and would love to offer our clients some thing like what you see.
Clearly we are happy to pay

Thank you very much for this great tool!

Best QR Code Generator on the Planet. Thank you!

Very nice service with simple and good-looking design

Thank you so much for this awesome tool.

One suggestion, adding another telephone field on the vcard for cellphone or fax would make it more awesome than already is.

This is a great tool. It would be great to create vCalender-QR-Codes as vector.

http://www.mein-qrcode.de/qr-code-vcalender-erstellen.html does it, but not as vector and with bug in Summary-Field.

Thanks from Innsbruck, Austria

Great tool, glad to have found it! Thanks so much!

Your QR code generator is the best! I use it all the time. Thank you sooo much!

amazingly useful having an eps output thank you.

Hello – I hired a designer to create a QR for our website, q-beancoffee.org, which has since been printed onto our product… however now it appears that the code is not working. Is it possible to redirect the existing QR to point to our site accurately? Thanks for your help.

I believe the issue is that the QR was created with “wordpress” at the end of the URL (which is currently not part of our site name). Is it possible to redirect it to point to our current site name, even though it was designed for the URL ending in wordpress?

Man, you’re a genius!!!
Thanks for being sensitive to just what designers all over the world really need – Precision, ease-of-use, free.
Keep it up.
Mordi

Do you offer the option for a centered vector graphic to be added into the code? Could be a for-pay-option to allow you to recoup some of you development time as you have built a fine product!

I don’t know the better words, but, you’re just awesome! Thank you very much and God bless you.

Hi,

We are interested to use your QR code generator. Please answer my below queries.

1. Where are you located (in which country)?
2. Do you provide QR code reader?
3. Do you Provide API for QR code generator and reader? If yes then, Can we download your API and use it?
4. What is your cost ?

Thanks & Regards,
Vibhuti

Your work is awesome. can we specify exact size for output image.

Thanks!

Worls fine with I.E. – no success with Firefox!!

I put all of my info into a vcard, but when I scan it on my iPhone, not all of the info gets entered… is this because of my scanner (I use ScanLife) – or in the setup of the code.

Thank you very much. warmest regards. Henry

I love this site! Please don’t go away. This is critical to my daily work. The best!!!

Great tool !

Tanks !

Werkt mooi!
Komt er ook een geo- locatie optie?

Could you please change the “Regular Text” for more lines, so we can create QR-Codes from Code (e.g. VCards with other fields)?
Thanks from Tyrol, Austria
Gerald

Just a quick feedback on the qr code generator: the RGB colours for the I punched in, was converted into ‘RBG’ when i opened the eps file. Thought you might want to know that =)

Need help! Is there a way that we can redirect a previously created QR code to a new URL?

Is there a minimun size the code may have when i print it?

Superb!!

Thanks alot for this fine tool.

Regards
Peter

Great tool, the best I have found on the net. But – can you add Mobile Phone to vCard?

Thanks for the QR code generator app. It is really great as i am still learning more uses fro these codes. One suggestion – can we have more fields in the vCard format, say to add a mobile phone as well as a land line and perhaps a notes field?

Thanks

please check…i found an error…
i filled in the vcard form.. first name and last name…correctly…but when the qr code is scanned…the first name and last name details displayed on the smartphone…. are swopped around…which is incorrect…

Your generator was recommended by several colleagues because I need vector output, but you do not support an email address and subject. In print ads, the subject can include a code so I can determine the issue & publication. Can/will you add that option?

Maybe a silly question, but let’s say I want to have the QR code opening a 360photo file link, will the file open immediately after scanning the QR or one would first see the link and then click on it for the file to open? Also, by generating a QR code through this site, am I able to enlarge ( 40 * 40 cm)and print the generated QR for using it as a sticker on a building? Will this work ?
Thank you

Up until last week my cookies were being saved when I created a new QR Code – This was VERY HELPFUL.

It seems that last week the QR Code generator had an issue and was not producing QR Codes (This occurred on Thursday 10/11), since then I cannot access my cookies or any previous QR Code URL that I had created.

Is there something that can be done to show my previous URLs in the QR Coder generator box again?

Thanks,
-Eric

I create many UPCs and note that an identical UPC number will always generate the exact same bar graph every time. Why does using the same website info generate different looking codes each time? Are each and every QR code block valid for the same website? I hope this isn’t a dumb question….

@pminne #159:
Thanks! With the multi-line textarea I was able to create a QR-code for an event, using

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
X-OBJECTTYPE:APPOINTMENT
UID:20121129@my_url.com
DTSTART:20121129T183000
DTEND:20121129T203000
DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:Description of the event
LOCATION;CHARSET=UTF-8:Location with address
SUMMARY;CHARSET=UTF-8:Title of the event
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Works great! Thank you again!

Perhaps you could build a form for entering the necessary facts?

Gerald

Was finding a place to download QR Code in Vector formats… Found this a great tool. Thanks a bunch!

Keep up the good work!
