About Create QR
We’re on a mission to make QR code technology accessible, beautiful, and powerful for everyone — from small businesses and marketers to anyone sharing a WiFi password.
Our story
Create QR was built by Gaurank Kathpaliato solve a simple problem: creating a clean, high-quality QR code shouldn’t feel complicated — and it shouldn’t require a subscription.
After seeing creators and small businesses get blocked by paywalls for basic features (like downloads, styles, and QR types), he started building a generator that stays fast, looks modern, and keeps the “create → customize → download” flow straightforward.
Today, Create QR helps people connect the physical and digital world — from restaurants sharing menus, to marketers running campaigns, to individuals sharing WiFi, contacts, and links.

About QR code technology
QR codes (Quick Response codes) were invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara at Denso Wave, a Japanese automotive parts company. Originally designed to track vehicles during manufacturing, QR codes have evolved to become a universal tool for connecting physical objects to digital content.
Unlike traditional barcodes that can only store up to 20 digits, QR codes can store thousands of alphanumeric characters. This makes them perfect for URLs, contact information, WiFi credentials, payment data, and much more.
The technology uses Reed-Solomon error correction, which means QR codes remain scannable even when partially damaged or obscured — that’s why you can add logos to the center without breaking the code. This built-in redundancy makes QR codes incredibly reliable for real-world use.
Today, with smartphones having built-in QR scanners, the technology has become more accessible than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated adoption, with QR codes becoming the standard for contactless menus, payments, and health passes worldwide.
