Micro QR Code Generator

Generate a Micro QR code, the smallest member of the QR family, for tiny labels on electronic components, small parts and packaging. Micro QR has a single finder pattern and needs only a narrow margin, so it fits where a full QR code does not. The tool picks the smallest version from M1 to M4 for your data and draws the code as a PNG image or an SVG file.

Frequently asked questions

How much data fits in a Micro QR code?

At most 35 digits, 21 uppercase letters and digits, or about 15 bytes of other text in the largest version, M4. This tool accepts up to 35 characters and refuses data that does not fit.

How is Micro QR different from a regular QR code?

A Micro QR code has one finder pattern instead of three, is 11 to 17 modules wide and needs a margin of only 2 modules. It holds far less data than a QR code but takes a fraction of the space.

Which version is generated?

The tool chooses the smallest of the versions M1 to M4 that can hold your data. Digits only produce the smallest codes, and lowercase letters or symbols need the byte mode and a larger version.

Can my phone camera read Micro QR?

Usually not. Most phone camera apps read only regular QR codes. Micro QR is designed for industrial readers and dedicated scanner apps, so test with the reader that will be used.

Can I download the Micro QR code as a vector file?

Yes. Choose SVG for a vector file that stays sharp at any size in print and design software, or PNG for a raster image that works in documents, web pages and label printers. Both come with a white background and a white margin.

What does the scale change?

Each module is drawn 2 pixels per scale step, so at the default scale 3 a module is 6 pixels wide and an M1 code is 66 pixels before the margin. The scale accepts 1 to 10.

Can I encode a URL?

Only a very short one, because the byte capacity is about 15 characters. For website links use a regular QR code, which holds much more.

Why are there no bar height or text options?

Micro QR is a square matrix code with no human readable line, so the format and the scale are the only settings.

Where is Micro QR used?

It marks printed circuit boards, electronic components, small medical items and other parts too small for a full QR code, often printed or laser engraved at a few millimeters.

Is my text stored?

No. The text is used only to draw the code you download.
