How it works

How to make a branded QR code on Mac or Windows

  1. 1 Start from

    • URL
    • Text
    • Wi-Fi
    • Email
    • SMS
    • Contact details

    Choose what it opens

    A link, plain text, a WiFi login, an email, an SMS or a contact card.

  2. 2 Set it

    • Link
    • WiFi

    Make it look like you

    Square, rounded or dot modules, matching corners, solid or gradient colors, and your logo in the middle.

    Hangar shows whether the styled code still scans. Set the size, margin and an optional caption frame, then save a PNG.

New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step

Choose what it opens

One scan, the right action. Six kinds of code.

The content type decides what happens when someone scans. Styling works the same on all of them, so a WiFi card can match your menu and your flyer.

  • Link

    Start here

    Opens your page in one tap.

    Best for posters, flyers and packaging.

  • WiFi

    Joins your network without typing the password.

    Best for offices, cafes and guest rooms.

  • Contact card

    Saves your details straight to the phone.

    Best for business cards and event badges.

One app, one payment

QR code is one of 74 tools.

The same app makes mockups, carousels, QR codes and backgrounds, and handles your PDFs, images, video and audio too. One payment covers every tool.

A typical routine

Where QR code fits

  1. Step 1Remove background
  2. Step 2Color palette
  3. Step 3QR code

Cut your logo out of its background, pull its colors, then build a code that matches.

The alternative

Why not use a free QR code website?

QR websites are quick, and their dynamic codes let you change the link later and count scans. Here is the catch for printed codes.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Will my QR code stop working one day?

Not because of Hangar. Your link or details are written into the code itself, so it works as long as the link does.

Can I change the link after printing?

No. The link is part of the code, so a new link means a new code. That is also why nothing can redirect your scans.

Can I export an SVG?

Not yet. It saves a PNG at the size you set, so choose a large size for print.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
