What Is a Bitcoin QR Code?

A Bitcoin QR code packs a payment request into a single scannable square. This Bitcoin QR code generator encodes a standard bitcoin: payment URI — or a litecoin: URI if you select Litecoin — containing your wallet address plus an optional amount and message. When a customer or donor scans it, their wallet app opens the send screen with your address and amount already filled in, eliminating typos in long addresses. The tool is free and unlimited with no sign-up, the code is static so it never expires, and everything runs in your browser, meaning your wallet address is never uploaded or stored.

How to Create a Bitcoin QR Code (Step by Step)

  1. Choose your coin type: Bitcoin or Litecoin.
  2. Paste your wallet address into the address field. Always paste directly from your wallet rather than typing, and compare the first and last characters against the original.
  3. Optionally enter an amount. Set it for fixed prices; leave it blank to let the sender choose, which works well for tips and donations.
  4. Optionally add a message, such as an order number or a short thank-you, that wallets can display alongside the payment.
  5. Customize the design: foreground and background colors, a transparent background, a logo from the built-in gallery or your own upload, and a decorative frame.
  6. Test-scan the code with your own wallet app and confirm the pre-filled address matches your wallet exactly.
  7. Pick a size and download as PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF. Vector SVG keeps the code sharp on posters and signage.

Use Cases

  • Online stores and checkout pages. A US-based store accepting crypto can show a payment code at checkout so buyers never copy-paste an address.
  • Freelancer invoices. A developer in London billing in BTC can embed the code in the invoice PDF with the exact amount pre-filled.
  • Tip jars for creators. Streamers and writers in the US, UK, and Australia can add a donation code to profiles, video descriptions, and stream overlays.
  • In-person sales and meetups. A stall at a Sydney market or a crypto meetup can display a laminated code and accept payment from any attendee's wallet.
  • Nonprofit crypto donations. Charities can print a Donate-style code on posters and annual reports; pairing it with a PayPal QR code covers donors who prefer traditional payment too.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Treat the address as critical data. Crypto payments are irreversible — funds sent to a wrong address cannot be recovered — so double-check every character before generating.
  • Always test-scan before sharing. Scan the final code with your own wallet and verify the address and amount, especially after customizing colors or adding a logo.
  • Keep contrast high. A dark code on a light background scans most reliably; extreme color combinations can make some wallet scanners struggle.
  • Use the message field for bookkeeping. An order reference helps you match incoming payments without asking customers for confirmation screenshots.
  • Leave the amount open for tips, fix it for invoices. Matching the amount setting to the situation reduces sender errors on both sides.
  • Refresh printed codes when you rotate addresses. The QR itself never expires, so replace old printouts whenever you switch to a new receiving address.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Bitcoin QR code work?

The generator encodes a standard bitcoin: payment URI containing your wallet address and, optionally, an amount and message. When someone scans the code with a wallet app, the send screen opens with your address and amount already filled in. That removes the riskiest step in crypto payments: manually typing or copying a long address.

Can I create a Litecoin QR code too?

Yes. A coin type selector lets you choose Bitcoin or Litecoin. Choosing Litecoin produces a litecoin: payment URI instead of a bitcoin: one, so Litecoin wallets recognize it and pre-fill the address and amount the same way. Everything else, including customization and download formats, works identically for both coins.

Is my wallet address uploaded anywhere?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser, so your wallet address, amount, and message never leave your device and are never stored by the site. For payment codes this privacy matters twice over: nobody else sees your details, and there is no server that could alter the address you encoded.

What happens if I leave the amount blank?

The QR code then encodes only your address, and the sender types the amount themselves in their wallet app. This suits tip jars and open-ended donations. If you set an amount, it appears pre-filled when the code is scanned, which is better for fixed prices and specific invoice totals.

Do Bitcoin QR codes expire?

No. The code is static, with your address encoded directly into the pattern, so it never expires and supports unlimited scans. It remains valid for as long as you control the wallet address. If you ever move to a new address, simply generate a fresh code and replace the printed one.

What should I check before sharing or printing the code?

Verify the wallet address character by character against your wallet, then test-scan the finished code with your own wallet app and confirm the pre-filled address matches exactly. Crypto payments are irreversible, so a wrong address means permanently lost funds. Only after a successful test scan should you print or publish the code.

Which wallet apps can scan these codes?

The generator produces the standard bitcoin: and litecoin: URI formats, which wallet apps broadly recognize. Any wallet that supports scanning payment QR codes should open its send screen with your address, and the amount when you set one, pre-filled. A quick test scan with your own wallet confirms compatibility.
