Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes. You can create and download unlimited static QR codes without signing up, starting a trial, or entering payment details.

Do free QR codes expire?

No. Static QR codes do not expire because the destination is stored directly inside the code. A website QR code will keep working as long as the linked page remains available.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

A static QR code stores the final information and cannot be edited after download. A dynamic QR code uses a redirect that can be changed and tracked. This tool creates reliable static QR codes with no redirect.

Is my information stored?

No. QR codes are generated directly in your browser. The text, URL, email, or Wi-Fi details you enter are not uploaded to our server.

Which format should I download?

PNG works well for websites, documents, and social posts. SVG stays sharp at any size and is the best choice for posters, packaging, and professional printing.

Free forever. No sign-up.

QR codes explained

What is a QR code?

A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information in a grid of black and white squares. A smartphone camera can scan it to open a website, show text, start an email, or connect to Wi-Fi without manual typing.

Static QR codes store the information directly, so they do not need an account and never expire. For reliable scanning, use strong contrast, leave clear space around the code, and test it before printing.
