Capy QR is a free, browser-based QR code generator that prioritizes aesthetic customization, offering twelve QR types, custom logos, colors, gradients, and frames, with optional dynamic QR capabilities and scan analytics on paid plans.
What is Capy QR?
Capy QR is an online tool for designing and generating QR codes with full control over visual appearance. It takes any data type (URL, text, Wi-Fi credentials, contact info, etc.) and produces a scannable QR code image in PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF formats. The platform runs entirely in the browser for static codes; dynamic codes require a free account. Capy QR is developed by the Capy QR team and is available at capyqr.com.
Key Features
- Customizable design — Choose from twelve dot styles (Rounded, Dots, Classy, Soft, Square, Pillow), multiple eye shapes, gradient colors, background images, frame labels, and upload your own logo with automatic color matching.
- Twelve QR types — Generate codes for website URLs, plain text, Wi-Fi networks, vCard contacts, email, SMS, phone numbers, WhatsApp, location, social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, GitHub, Threads), calendar events, and payment links (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Revolut).
- Export formats and resolutions — Download as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF at resolutions from 512 x 512 px up to 3200 x 3200 px. SVG remains sharp at any scale, ideal for large prints.
- Dynamic QR codes — Create QRs that point to a Capy QR redirect, allowing you to change the destination URL after printing. Available with a free account (up to 3 dynamic QRs) and on paid plans.
- Scan analytics — For dynamic QRs only, track scans by country, city, operating system, and device class. Data retention: 7 days on free plan, 30 days on Starter, 365 days on Pro.
- Logo auto-theme — Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG logo and click 'Match colors from logo' to automatically set the QR color scheme. Error correction is automatically raised to the highest level to maintain scannability.
- Color presets — Quick-start themes like Peach, Strawberry, Mint, Sky, Mono, Sunset, Midnight, Forest, and a 'Surprise me' randomizer.
- Save and organize — Sign up for a free account to save designs in a library, organize them into folders, and manage dynamic QRs.
Who is it for?
- Personal users — Create stylish static QR codes for social media profiles, personal events, or contact sharing without any cost or account required.
- Solo creators — Use dynamic QRs for marketing materials (e.g., business cards, flyers) where the link may need future updates; monitor scan performance with basic analytics.
