Questions people ask
Do these QR codes expire?
No, and they cannot. This makes static codes, which means the link is encoded in the black and white pattern itself. Nothing is looked up on our servers when somebody scans it, so there is nothing we could switch off, and no plan that could lapse and take your code with it. That is true on the free tier.
Why do QR codes from other sites stop working?
Because they are dynamic codes. A dynamic code encodes a short link back to the company that made it, which then forwards to your real destination. That is useful if you need to change the target later, and it means your code dies if they shut it off or your trial ends. It is the single most common complaint about QR code sites, and it is why we only make static codes.
Is there a free QR code generator with no watermark?
Free codes here carry a small line of text under the image, which you can crop off in any image editor, or in the image resize tool on this site. The code itself is never watermarked, and a plan removes the line.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup on this site at all.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes. The code is yours, on any tier, for anything.
Is my link uploaded?
No. The code is drawn on your computer by code running in this page. Open your browser's network tab and watch: nothing is sent.
PNG or SVG, which should I use?
PNG for screens, email, and anywhere pixels are fine. SVG for anything printed, because it stays sharp at any size, from a business card to a poster.
How big should I print it?
A rough rule is one centimetre of code for every four metres of scanning distance, so a table card at arm's length works at about two centimetres. Test it with a phone before printing a thousand.
