Generate QR Code as SVG API

What it does

QR Code Generator turns a string of text into a valid SVG QR code. Send a required text value in the request body, and you can also set format to either json or svg.

Use it when you need a QR code for a URL, payment link, onboarding flow, product label, or offline handoff. Because the endpoint returns a valid SVG QR code, it fits well in web apps, print layouts, and any workflow that needs a crisp, scalable code rather than a raster image.

The input is intentionally small: just the text you want encoded, with no extra fields to manage. That makes it easy to generate codes from user-entered strings, generated links, or internal identifiers without adding formatting logic in your app.

The default response is JSON containing the SVG markup, a data URL for use in an img tag, and the image size. Set format to svg to get the raw SVG file instead, so you can treat this as a focused generation step in a larger document or asset pipeline.

What you'll get back

By default, a JSON object with the QR code as SVG markup and as a data URL:

  "tool": "...",
  "result": {
    "svg": "<svg ...>...</svg>",
    "dataUrl": "data:image/svg+xml;...",
    "width": 256,
    "height": 256
