All Types of QR Codes for Any Content

Welcome to the ME-QR catalog of QR code generators — a QR code hub and directory where every QR code type is organized into a clear category, so you can find, create, and customize the right generator in seconds. Think of this page as a library of QR codes: one list of QR codes covering every generator on the platform, grouped by content type. Whether you need a QR code for a website link, a business vCard, a social media profile, or a payment request, this catalog brings every QR code category together in one place. Scroll through the full list of QR code types below, or jump straight to the generator you need and start creating.

What Are QR Code Types?

A QR code "type" refers to the kind of content encoded inside it — a link, a file, contact details, a payment request, and so on. The scanning device reads the same black-and-white pattern regardless of type; what changes is how the destination app interprets the data once scanned. Choosing the right type matters because it determines what happens the moment someone scans the code: opening a website, saving a contact, joining a Wi-Fi network, or starting a chat.

All Types of QR Codes

This QR code catalog is organized into categories, so you can jump straight to the group of generators that matches what you're trying to do — from driving website traffic to accepting payments. Each category below opens with a short description and a table of its generators.

Frequently Asked Questions about All Types Of QR Codes

You can generate URL, PDF, Image, Text, Wi-Fi, WhatsApp, vCard, Email, Audio, App Store links, Booking, Map, Phone Call, PPTX, Custom URL, and many other QR code types.

QR codes can store links, plain text, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials, files (PDF, image, video, audio), payment requests, social media profiles, and more — see the full list of types above.

The most widely used types are Link/URL, vCard, Wi-Fi, PDF, and social media QR codes, since they cover the majority of marketing, networking, and access use cases.

Start with the action you want the scanner to take: visiting a page (Link/URL), saving a contact (vCard), connecting to a network (Wi-Fi), or paying (Payment). The type list above groups generators by these use cases to make the choice easier.

You usually can't tell just by looking at the pattern — type is determined by the data encoded inside, not the visual design. The most reliable way is to scan it with a QR scanner app and see what action it triggers: opening a link, saving a contact, launching a chat app, and so on. Some scanner apps also label the content type (URL, vCard, Wi-Fi, etc.) directly in the scan result before you open it.

Yes, new generator types are added as new platforms and use cases emerge — recent additions include social apps like TikTok and Snapchat, and payment types like Crypto Pay and UPI.

Dynamic vCard, Link/URL, Booking, and Payment QR codes are the most common choices for businesses, since they support editable content and, where relevant, scan tracking.
