A Pix QR Code generator creates the official Brazilian instant payment QR code and Copia e Cola (copy-and-paste) code that anyone in Brazil can use to send you money instantly, 24/7, using any bank or digital wallet app. It is the fastest way to receive Pix payments without a card machine.
What is Pix?
Pix is Brazil's instant payment system, launched by the Banco Central do Brasil (Brazilian Central Bank) in November 2020. It enables transfers between bank accounts and digital wallets in seconds, at any hour of the day or night, including weekends and holidays. By 2024, Pix had become the most used payment method in Brazil, surpassing credit cards and bank transfers in transaction volume.
A Pix key can be your CPF (individual taxpayer ID), CNPJ (business tax ID), phone number, email address, or a randomly generated key. To receive a payment, you share a Pix QR code or a Copia e Cola string that the payer pastes into their banking app.
How to Use the Pix QR Code Generator
- Enter your Pix key - type your registered Pix key (CPF, CNPJ, phone, email, or random key).
- Add your name and city - enter the beneficiary name and city as they should appear in the payment confirmation. These are required fields in the Pix EMV standard.
- Set an optional amount - leave the amount field empty to let the payer enter any amount, or specify a fixed amount for a specific transaction.
- Download or copy - the tool generates both the QR code image and the Copia e Cola text string. Share either one with the payer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Pix QR code and a Copia e Cola? Both contain the same payment information. A Pix QR code is scanned with the banking app's camera. A Copia e Cola string is copied and pasted into the "Pix payment" field in any banking app. They are interchangeable - use whichever is more convenient for the payer.
Is there a fee to receive Pix payments? For individuals (natural persons), receiving Pix is free in all Brazilian financial institutions. Businesses may pay a small transaction fee depending on their bank or payment processor agreement.
Can I set a fixed amount on the QR code? Yes. If you specify an amount, the payer's banking app will pre-fill that amount and typically it cannot be changed. If you leave the amount blank, the payer can enter any amount.
Is this Pix QR code valid for any Brazilian bank or digital wallet? Yes. The Pix QR code follows the official EMV standard defined by the Banco Central do Brasil, so it works with all 700+ institutions that participate in the Pix system.
