How do I create a UPI QR code from my UPI ID?+
Type your UPI ID into the generator at the top of this page, optionally add a payee name, amount and note, then download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF. There is no sign-up and nothing to install.
Where do I find my UPI ID?+
Open your UPI app and look at your profile or the screen for receiving money. Your UPI ID is shown in the form name@handle — for example @okaxis, @ybl or @paytm. Your bank's own UPI app shows it too.
Is this UPI QR code generator really free?+
Yes. Generating, customizing, and downloading UPI QR codes is free with no account, and the code itself carries no transaction fee from us — the payment is processed by the customer's UPI app and your bank.
Which apps can scan this QR code?+
Any UPI app — Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay, and bank apps like SBI YONO or iMobile. UPI QR codes are interoperable by design.
Does a UPI QR code expire?+
No. A static UPI QR code works for as long as your UPI ID is active. You only need a new code if you change your UPI ID or want different pre-filled details.
Can I set a fixed amount in the QR code?+
Yes. Fill the Amount (INR) field and the payment screen opens with that amount pre-filled. Leave it blank and the customer enters the amount, which suits shop counters.
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic UPI QR code?+
A static code stays the same for every payment and the customer usually types the amount; this page makes static codes. A dynamic code is generated for each bill by billing software, a POS machine or a payment gateway, with the exact amount and a transaction reference, and needs a merchant account.
Can I use my personal UPI ID for my shop?+
A code made from a personal UPI ID will receive payments. For regular business collections, banks and UPI apps generally expect a merchant UPI ID, so check your provider's terms; a merchant ID usually also comes with payment alerts and settlement reports.
Do I need to scan a QR code to receive money?+
No. Scanning a QR code and entering your UPI PIN always pays money out of your account. Anyone who asks you to scan a code or enter your PIN so that you can receive money is attempting a scam.
Is it safe to display my UPI QR code publicly?+
Yes. The code only encodes your public UPI ID and optional payment details — scanning it can only start a payment to you, never from you. Just verify the payee name shown in the app matches yours when testing your printed code. If your UPI ID contains your mobile number, that number is visible to anyone who scans the code, so a merchant or non-phone UPI ID is better for public display.
Why is my printed UPI QR code not scanning?+
Usually the code is too small for the scanning distance, printed in low-contrast or inverted colors, missing its white border, or behind glossy plastic that reflects light. Print it larger, use dark dots on a light background, keep the border, and try a smaller logo.
Can I add my shop logo to the QR code?+
Yes. Upload a logo and it is placed in the center of the code with high error correction, so the code stays scannable.
