Any UPI QR is a BHIM QR
There is no separate BHIM format. BHIM was built by the NPCI as the reference UPI app, and the QR standard it uses is the same one every other UPI app follows. A QR made here works in BHIM, and a QR made in BHIM works everywhere else.
So the useful question is not how to make a BHIM QR specifically, but how to make a UPI QR that BHIM reads correctly. That is what the form above does.
Making one from your BHIM UPI ID
- Open BHIM and look at your profile for your UPI ID. It usually ends in
@upi, or in your bank's handle if you set it up through the bank. - Enter your name and that UPI ID above.
- Leave the amount blank so payers enter their own, or set one if everyone should pay the same figure.
- Select Create QR code, then download or print it.
Why make one here rather than in the app
BHIM can show you a QR on screen, which is fine when one person is standing in front of you. This page is more useful when the QR has to leave the phone:
- A print layout in A4 or A5 sized for a shop counter, rather than a screenshot.
- An SVG file for a printer, which stays sharp at any size.
- A WhatsApp sized card you can send in a chat.
- Your own colours, a shop logo in the centre, and a frame message.
- A fixed amount baked into the code.
Every design is decoded again before you download it, so a QR that a style choice has quietly broken never reaches your printer.
The @upi handle is normal
UPI IDs created through BHIM often end in @upi. That is a valid handle and every app can pay it. If a customer asks, that is all it means.
Test before you print
Ask someone to scan the QR with a different app and send ₹1. Check that the name shown before payment is yours and that the money arrives. This website builds the QR from what you type and cannot confirm that a UPI ID belongs to you.
