Bitcoin QR Code
A Bitcoin QR code encodes a BIP21 "bitcoin:" payment URI containing your BTC wallet address and optional amount, label, and message. When a payer scans it with a crypto wallet app, the wallet auto-fills the recipient address and amount, so they only confirm and send. No typing long addresses, no errors.
How a Bitcoin QR code works
The QR code stores a standard BIP21 string like bitcoin:bc1q...?amount=0.0025&label=Coffee. Any Bitcoin wallet that scans it reads the address and pre-fills the send screen with your amount and label. The payer reviews and confirms, broadcasting the transaction to the Bitcoin network without ever copying or mistyping your address.

Why create your Bitcoin QR code with Qravio
Zero address typos
Bitcoin addresses are long and case-sensitive, and a single wrong character sends funds to the wrong place forever. A QR code transfers the exact address to the payer's wallet so there is nothing to mistype.
Preset amount and label
Encode an exact BTC amount plus a human-readable label so the payer's wallet shows what they are paying and to whom, cutting the friction of every in-person or invoice payment.
Works with any wallet
The BIP21 format is the universal Bitcoin payment standard, so the same code is recognized by mobile wallets, hardware wallet companions, and exchange apps alike.

Bitcoin QR code FAQ
What does a Bitcoin QR code actually contain?
It contains a BIP21 URI starting with bitcoin: followed by your wallet address and, optionally, an amount, label, and message. Scanning it tells a wallet exactly who to pay and how much.
Can I set a specific BTC amount in the QR code?
Yes. You can encode an amount parameter so the payer's wallet pre-fills it. Leave the amount blank and the code simply shares your receiving address for any sum.
Is a Bitcoin QR code static or does it change?
It is static. The address and amount are baked into the QR image itself, so the code keeps working offline and forever. To change the address or amount, generate a new code.
Is it safe to share my Bitcoin QR code publicly?
Yes. A receiving address is meant to be shared and only lets people send BTC to you, not withdraw. Note that anyone can view that address's transaction history on the public blockchain.
