This online tool lets you create a QR code with a transparent background. It removes the white background behind the QR modules, leaving just the pattern on a transparent background. This is useful for making clear QR code stickers for different surfaces, such as menu stickers for cafe tables or Wi-Fi stickers for signs in hotel rooms. QR codes with transparent backgrounds are also often used on websites and flyers so the existing design can show through. To keep a transparent QR code scannable, make sure the pattern contrasts well with its new background. By default, the tool removes white, the most common background color for QR codes. You can choose a different shade to remove by entering its color code or name, or by clicking it in the preview. You can also adjust the color tolerance. A higher percentage includes more shades close to the selected color. Then you can clean up the edges of the QR modules by making nearby pixels partially transparent within the radius you specify. Use the checkbox to see where the background was removed in the preview. QR-tastic!

In this example, we remove the white background from a standard black-and-white QR code that contains a link to TechURLs. We set the threshold to 0% to remove only pure white pixels, keeping the black square modules sharp and unchanged. This leaves just the QR pattern, which fits naturally into our website's light-colored footer without an extra white rectangle.
In this example, we remove the background from a colorful recipe QR code containing cooking instructions for a spice package. Since the background is slightly cream-colored, we select that color and use a 15% threshold to remove it. We also enable smooth edges to keep the rounded QR modules looking clean.
In this example, we remove the white background from a colorful gradient QR code that provides access to the art gallery Wi-Fi network. We use a relatively high threshold of 40% to remove white and near-white areas, with smooth edges enabled for cleaner transitions around the colorful pattern. The transparent code can then be displayed in different gallery rooms, where the walls have slightly different shades.
