This online black and white QR code converter replaces a colored QR design with a simple black pattern on white. It scans the image you upload and rebuilds the QR code using the information it reads. The familiar black pattern on white makes the result readily recognizable as a QR code and can invite people to scan it. Its restrained style fits many layouts and uses. By default, the tool creates a classic QR code with square black modules on a white background. If needed, you can adjust these colors in the options, for example by choosing dark gray modules or reversing the black and white colors. You can also replace the square modules with rounded shapes, circles, or styles with diagonally elongated modules. You can shape the three large corner markers separately, selecting an outer frame and an inner center for each. To indicate the type of information stored in the code, you can place a central icon. Available options include Wi-Fi, link, text, vCard, email, SMS, and phone icons. You can set the size of the black and white QR code using one value that controls both its width and height, and add padding around the edges. The error correction setting determines how much extra recovery data is included to help read the code if parts become damaged or covered. Changing this level may rearrange the modules, but the decoded link, text, or other content remains unchanged. If you want to generate a more creative QR design with bright colors and gradients, use our Change QR Code Design tool. QR-tastic!

In this example, we take a purple-to-pink gradient QR code for Browserling's Instagram page and give it a familiar black-and-white appearance. The data modules keep their positions, while the rounded colored elements become sharp black squares on a white background. The code still opens the same Instagram profile.
In this example, we convert a multicolored QR code with a notary's phone number into a restrained black-and-white design. The new style suits a notary's office, while rounded modules and corner markers soften the usual square shapes. We also increase error correction from high to highest, adding more recovery data to help the code handle wear or partial damage. This changes the module layout while keeping the phone number the same.
In this example, we load a colorful QR code with a prepared email asking about performing at a concert venue. It includes the recipient, a subject line, and a message requesting booking details. We turn the code into a monochrome version with white modules on a black background to suit dark surfaces. Circular modules, frames, and centers give both the pattern and its three corner markers a rounded look, while the envelope icon identifies the code as an email shortcut.
