Frequently Asked Questions
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes, completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many codes you generate.
Do QR codes made with this tool expire?
No. These are static QR codes, meaning the data is encoded directly into the image. They work for as long as the link or information behind them stays valid.
What’s the difference between a static and dynamic QR code?
A static QR code encodes the destination directly and can’t be edited later. A dynamic QR code redirects through a service you can update after printing, but usually requires a paid subscription. This tool generates static codes.
Can I use a QR code from this tool for my business?
Yes, there are no usage restrictions or licensing requirements on the codes you generate here.
Why won’t my QR code scan?
The most common causes are low print resolution, poor contrast between the code and background color, or a code printed too small for the scanning distance. Keep the color you choose dark against a light background for the most reliable scans.
Can I put a QR code in a specific color to match my branding?
Yes, use the color picker above. Keep in mind that low-contrast color combinations (light colors on a light background) can make the code harder for cameras to read.
