# Star QR Code Generator

Make your QR code a star. Enter your URL to see a live star-shaped code — a natural fit for review requests, event promos, and kids' products.

A star QR code places the code inside a star silhouette. The data modules stay on a solid center plate so the code scans normally, while decorative dots complete the star's points. Type your own link above and watch the star preview update in real time.

The star shape does half your messaging for you. "Scan to rate us" signs and receipt inserts feel obvious when the code itself is a star. Event posters, award nights, and premieres get a code that matches the occasion. Toy packaging, kids' menus, and school materials get a shape children actually notice and point at.

Everything is generated client-side in your browser — your link never touches a server. Designing and previewing the star is free; downloading a shape-masked code requires a reRoute Pro plan, while standard square codes stay free to download.

## How to make one

1. **Enter your URL** — Paste your review link, event page, or product URL. The star-shaped preview updates as you type.
2. **Style the star** — Choose colors and adjust the outline so the star matches your signage, packaging, or poster. The scan check badge verifies the code after each change.
3. **Download with Pro** — Export as PNG, SVG, PDF, or WebP with a reRoute Pro plan. Designing and previewing the star QR code is free.

## Why use this

- **The Shape Sells the Scan** — A star-shaped QR code next to "rate us" needs no further explanation. The shape reinforces the ask and lifts scan rates on review requests.
- **Scannable by Design** — The code sits on a solid plate with a full quiet zone and high (H) error correction. A built-in scan check badge confirms your design reads correctly.
- **Preview Free, No Account** — Enter your real review link or event URL and style the star in your browser. You only need Pro when you're ready to download.
