Yes! Our QR code generator is 100% free for static QR codes. You can create unlimited QR codes with custom colors and download them as JPG without any sign-up.

No! You can use all free features without creating an account. Simply visit the site, choose your QR code type, customize it, and download. An account is only needed if you want to subscribe to a paid plan.
We support 30+ QR code types: URL, Text, Email, Phone, SMS, WiFi, vCard, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, Location, Navigation, Event/Calendar, Payment (PayPal, Venmo, UPI, Cash App), Crypto Wallet (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.), PDF/File, Video, Image, App Store, Google Reviews, Coupon, and Deep Link.
No! Static QR codes generated here never expire. They work forever with unlimited scans. The data is encoded directly in the QR code pattern. As long as the content the QR code points to exists (e.g., the URL is still active), the code will always work.
Yes! Free users can add text logos in the center of the QR code. Pro users can upload custom logo images (PNG, JPG, SVG). We recommend setting the error correction level to "High" (30%) when using a logo to ensure the QR code remains scannable.
Free tier: Solid foreground and background colors, text logo, and square dot shape. Pro tier: 6 dot shapes (square, dots, rounded, extra-rounded, classy, classy-rounded), 3 eye frame shapes, 2 eye ball shapes, gradient colors, custom logo upload, and error correction level control.
Error correction allows a QR code to be scanned even if parts are damaged or covered (like by a logo). Levels: Low (7%), Medium (15%), Quartile (25%), High (30%). We recommend Medium for most uses and High if you're adding a logo.
Free users: JPG. Pro users: PNG, SVG (vector, infinitely scalable), and transparent-background PNG. SVG is ideal for print materials since it can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

Absolutely. All QR codes are generated entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data (URLs, text, contact info, passwords, etc.) is never sent to our servers. It stays completely on your device.
No. Static QR codes encode data directly in the pattern. There is no redirect through our servers, which means we cannot and do not track any scans.
Static QR codes encode data directly in the pattern. They can't be edited but never expire. Dynamic QR codes use a redirect URL, so you can change the destination and track scans without reprinting.
Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes with the built-in camera app. Open your camera and point it at the QR code. If your camera doesn't support this, download a free QR code scanner app.
Common reasons: insufficient color contrast, logo too large, error correction too low with a logo, QR code too small, or data too long. Try dark colors on light background, High error correction with logos, and always test scan before printing.
