How It Works

Make a GET request

Pass your data as a query parameter — a URL, text, or any string up to 4,296 characters.

Customize output

Choose PNG or SVG, set a size (up to 1000px), and pick custom foreground/background colors.

Get your QR code

The API returns the image directly. Save it, serve it, or embed it inline — no extra steps.
