Dither QR code generator
Modules are drawn with a pixel-dither pattern, the stippled look of early computer graphics and newsprint. It gives the code texture and a retro-tech edge while the overall silhouette stays an honest square.

PNG is 2048 px for screens and print; SVG scales to any size. Free for personal and commercial use, no watermark.
Works well for
- Tech meetup and hackathon posters
- Record store and vinyl sleeves
- Developer conference lanyards
- Zine and print magazine pages
Printing tip
Fine pixel patterns can blur on soft prints, so choose sharp output, avoid shrinking below 2.5 cm (1 in) and scan a test copy first.
Static code: it never expires, but the link can't change after printing. Need edits or scan counts? Make a dynamic code.
Questions
Does the dither pattern hurt scanning?+
No. The pattern stays inside each module, the code uses the highest error correction level, and each design is tested with real QR code readers.
Should I use PNG or SVG?+
SVG keeps the pixels sharp at any size, so choose it for print. PNG is fine for web and slides.
Is it free for commercial work?+
Yes. Downloads are free for personal and commercial use with no watermark.

Make the code the artwork.
These tools make and check classic codes. AriaQR turns your photo, logo or illustration into the code itself, verified on real decoders before you download, with a link you can edit and track.
