Yes, you can make a QR code for free without creating an account. Paste a link into the box above, click Generate, and download a PNG with no watermark on it. Some free tools hide their conditions until after you have printed, so this page lists what to look for and where this one stops.
Make my QR code ↑Some free QR tools require an account, add a watermark, or switch codes off after a trial. This one does none of that. Whichever tool you use, know the common catches listed below. A quick way to check any code is to scan it and read the web address your phone shows before you open it. If that address is not your own link, a middleman sits in between, and a middleman can be switched off.
There is no account to create and no email to hand over. You get a black-on-white square image, 400 x 400 pixels, with no watermark and no logo added.
The code is made in your browser from the link you paste. There is no limit on how many codes you make.
These are static codes, which means your link is stored in the picture itself. The code does not expire and nobody can switch it off, including us, though the page it points to has to stay online. The tool is a non-profit initiative powered by Live & Vibrant Production in Los Angeles, so there is no trial to run out.
Simple also means limited. You cannot edit the link after you download the image, and there is no scan tracking or analytics. The only format is PNG, with no SVG or PDF export. You cannot change colors, add a logo or pick shapes, and the tool takes a link in a single box, nothing else.
If you need to change the destination later or count scans, a dynamic code from another service may suit you better. The trade-off is that those codes depend on the service staying active. The static vs dynamic guide linked below walks through the choice.
Yes. There is no charge, no trial period and no limit on how many codes you make. It is a non-profit initiative powered by Live & Vibrant Production in Los Angeles, and there is no paid tier hiding behind it.
No. There is no sign-up and no login, and nothing needs to be confirmed by email. The code is made in your browser from the link you paste.
No, because there is no trial. These are static codes, so the link is stored in the image itself. There is no subscription to lapse and nothing for anyone to switch off. The code works as long as the page it points to stays online.
No. Static codes go straight to your link, so nothing records the scan, and this tool has no analytics. If you own the destination page, its own visitor statistics may show some traffic, but they cannot always tell you the visit came from your code.
No. Static codes cannot be edited, because the link is part of the picture. If the link changes, make a new code and replace the old one. Services with editable codes exist, but those depend on the service staying active.
