Static QR code - free forever, no expiry, no tracking. Generated in your browser.
Need a landing page behind that QR code?
A QR code is only as good as the page it opens. We build fast, mobile-first landing pages that turn scans into customers.
Talk to an engineerQuick answer: A QR code generator turns a URL, text, WiFi login, or contact card into a scannable 2D barcode. Static QR codes (what this tool makes) are free forever, never expire, and aren't tracked - point your phone camera at one to open the content instantly. Dynamic codes, which let you edit the destination later, usually require a paid subscription.
What you can encode
| Type | What happens on scan |
|---|---|
| URL | Opens a website or landing page |
| WiFi | Joins the network without typing the password |
| vCard | Saves your contact details to the phone |
| Email / SMS | Opens a pre-filled email or text message |
| Phone / Text | Dials a number or shows plain text |
Error correction levels
| Level | Recovers | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| L | ~7% | Clean digital display, short data |
| M | ~15% | General purpose (default) |
| Q | ~25% | Print that may get worn |
| H | ~30% | Logo over the code, rough conditions |
Static vs dynamic QR codes
A static QR code stores its data directly in the pattern, so it's permanent, free, and works without any third party - but you can't change the destination after printing. A dynamic code stores a short redirect URL you can edit later and that records scan analytics, which is useful for campaigns - but it depends on a paid service, and the code stops working if that subscription lapses. This tool makes static codes on purpose: no lock-in, no expiry, no surprise bills. If you later need editable destinations and analytics, build that on a page you control.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these QR codes really free?
- Yes - static codes, free forever, no signup, no watermark, unlimited scans.
- Do QR codes expire?
- Static codes never expire. Only paid dynamic codes can stop working if the service lapses.
- Static vs dynamic?
- Static stores data directly (permanent, free); dynamic uses an editable redirect (paid, trackable).
- What size for print?
- At least ~2cm, roughly 1/10th of the scan distance. Use the SVG so it stays sharp at any size.
- What's error correction?
- It lets a damaged code still scan. Use H if placing a logo over the code.
