How to create a free QR code
The builder above runs entirely in your browser, so the link you enter is never uploaded just to produce the image.
Add your link
Choose what the code should open and paste the destination URL. The public builder creates URL codes; signing in unlocks text, Wi-Fi, vCard, SMS, email, WhatsApp, and social profile codes.
Style it to match your brand
Switch between square, rounded, dotted, and classy module shapes, set foreground and background colours, drop in a centre logo, and raise the error-correction level so the code still scans when a logo covers part of it.
Download and test it
Export a high-resolution PNG or a vector SVG, then scan it with a phone camera at the size you plan to print before you publish it.
Static Codes vs. Dynamic Codes
Everything generated on this page is a static QR code. Here is what that gets you, and what it does not.
Static QR Code
- •The destination is encoded directly into the pattern
- •Free forever, no account, and it can never be switched off
- •The link cannot be changed once the code is printed
- •No way to count scans or see where they came from
- •Change the URL and you reprint everything
Dynamic QR Code
- ✓Points at a short redirect you control
- ✓Repoint printed menus, flyers, or packaging at any time
- ✓See how many people scanned, when, and on which device
- ✓The same printed code keeps working after a URL change
- ✓Can carry AI-generated artwork behind the code
If you need editable links, scan analytics, or AI-generated artwork behind the code, create a free account or read more about the AI QR code generator.
FAQ
Common questions about making and printing free QR codes.
›Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. The builder on this page is free with no account, no watermark, and no download limit. Codes are rendered locally in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded to generate the image.
›Do the QR codes expire?
No. Codes made here are static, which means the destination is encoded directly into the pattern. They keep working forever and will never expire or be switched off.
›Can I change the link after printing the QR code?
Not with a static code. If you need to edit the destination after printing, or want scan analytics, create a dynamic QR code from an NG QRCode account instead.
›Will a logo stop my QR code from scanning?
Not if you keep the logo under roughly 30% of the code area and set error correction to H. That level lets a reader rebuild the data even when part of the pattern is obscured.
›What size should I export for print?
Download the SVG for anything printed, because vector output stays sharp at any size. For screens, a 1024px PNG is plenty. As a rule of thumb, print the code at least one tenth of the distance it will be scanned from.
›Can I use these QR codes commercially?
Yes. QR code is a registered trademark of Denso Wave, but the standard is open and codes you generate here can be used on packaging, menus, flyers, and adverts at no cost.
