Pet Tag QR Code Generator

What this tool does

This tool makes a QR code for your pet's collar tag, for any animal. If your pet goes missing, whoever finds them can scan the tag to see your contact details and your pet's information, and get them back to you. Fill in the details, set the size and colours, and download a PNG or SVG to print as a tag.

How to use it

1. Fill in your pet's name, type or breed, and any information, plus your contact details and an optional profile link.
2. Set the size, colours, and error correction level.
3. Choose PNG or SVG, create the code, and download it to print.

How it works

The tool bundles your pet's details and your contact information into the QR pattern, in your browser. A finder scans the tag and sees everything they need to reach you and look after your pet in the meantime. The code is static and works on its own, with nothing uploaded.

For any pet that might wander

While dogs are the usual reason people think of a collar tag, plenty of other animals go astray, a cat that roams further than expected, an indoor pet that slips out an open door, a rabbit, or a more unusual companion. This tag suits any of them. And it holds far more than a tiny engraving can: as well as your contact details, you can note things a finder genuinely needs to know, "indoor cat, please do not let her out," a medication, or a microchip number, plus a link to a fuller profile. For a roaming pet that cannot speak for itself, that information is what turns a worried stranger into a quick reunion.

Using it wisely

A couple of honest pointers, the same good sense that applies to any pet ID. Treat the QR tag as an extra layer rather than the whole plan: pair it with a microchip and a basic engraved tag, since a scan needs the finder to have a phone, and for a cat in particular, keep the tag small and light so they will actually wear it. And mind the details on show, because anyone who scans can read them. That openness is what reunites you, but include the essentials like a phone number while thinking twice about your full home address, the profile link is a tidy way to share more without putting your address on the open tag.

This is the same tool as the Dog Tag QR Code Generator, simply framed for any animal, so use whichever fits your pet. To share your own contact card, the vCard QR Code Generator does that.
