Make a QR code in a heart, circle, star, house, or maple-leaf shape - pick a shape, set your color, add your link, and download it. Static and free forever, no account.

## What the video covers

1. **Pick a shape**  - Choose a heart, circle, star, house, triangle, maple leaf, and more - or open the custom generator to browse dozens. Chunky shapes like circles and houses scan the most reliably.
2. **Set your color**  - Pick a solid color or a two-color gradient. Keep the dots dark on a light background so the shape still scans cleanly.
3. **Add your link**  - Paste the URL the code should open. The preview updates as you go.
4. **Download and test**  - Download as PNG, JPG, or SVG - SVG for print so it stays sharp at any size. Scan-test on an iPhone and an Android, and give thin or spiky shapes a little extra size before printing.
