Crypto Wallet QR Code Generator
Share a public wallet address as text in a QR code.
Wallet addresses can be long and network-specific. This page uses QR Forge's Text generator to encode the text you enter; it does not verify an address, network, amount, or payment request. Always compare the address and network in your wallet before sharing or sending funds.

What is a Crypto Wallet QR Code?
A wallet-address QR code can encode the address as plain text so it can be scanned instead of retyped. QR Forge does not create or validate cryptocurrency payment URIs, check addresses, or confirm network compatibility. Wallets differ in what they recognize, so verify the decoded text and network in the receiving wallet before using it.
How it works
- 1
Copy your wallet address
Open your wallet app, go to Receive, and copy your full public address. Never encode a private key in a QR code.
- 2
Paste and style your QR
Paste the address into the text field above. Style the QR with orange for Bitcoin, teal for Ethereum, or your preferred palette.
- 3
Share with wallet instructions
Display the QR beside the cryptocurrency and network details. The QR contains only the text entered here; users should verify the address and confirm any transaction in their wallet.

Frequently asked questions
A public receiving address is generally intended to be shared, but transactions associated with it may be publicly visible depending on the network. Never encode a private key or seed phrase. Confirm the address and network using your wallet's official instructions.
QR Forge encodes text and does not construct or validate payment requests. If you need an amount or payment URI, use the format documented by your wallet and network, then test it with a compatible wallet before sharing.
Support and URI formats vary by cryptocurrency and wallet. QR Forge does not validate those formats; check the official wallet and network documentation for the format you intend to use.
No universal wallet compatibility is guaranteed. QR Forge encodes the entered text; the scanner or wallet determines whether it recognizes that text as an address or payment request.
Use the address and network specified by the receiving wallet. Verify both before sharing or sending; QR Forge cannot detect a mismatch or reverse a transaction.
Higher error correction can help recover some damaged data, but does not guarantee scanning. Use a clear, high-contrast print, avoid covering modules, and test the finished code.
