The defaults work for almost everyone. You can leave these alone.

Stronger codes still scan when scratched, dirty or torn, but look busier.

Empty space around the code. Phones need some to read it.

Start from a template

Pick one to set up the form and a matching look. You can change anything afterwards.

What we promise

Static codes are free, with no limit
Make as many as you like. There is no trial, no signup and no watermark on the code.

Your details stay with you
Codes are made in your browser. WiFi passwords, contact details and logos are never uploaded.
Tested before you print
Each design is read back by a scanner on this page, and you are warned if it fails.

Questions

Will my QR code stop working?

No. The codes made here are static: the link or text is written directly into the pattern. Nothing depends on this website staying online or on you having an account. A code only stops working if the page it points to is taken down.

Why do other generators' codes expire?

Many generators quietly give you a dynamic code, which points to their server first and is then forwarded to your link. When a trial ends they stop forwarding. Static codes skip that middle step.

Can I change where a code points after printing it?

Not with a static code, because the link is part of the pattern. Editable, trackable dynamic codes are planned as a separate, clearly labelled option. Until then, link to a page you control and change that page.

Which download format should I use?

PNG for screens, documents and social media. SVG or PDF for print, because they stay sharp at any size.

Can I use these codes commercially?

Yes. Use them on packaging, menus, signs and adverts without paying or crediting anyone.
