Free QR Code Generator

Turn any link or text into a QR code in your browser — no signup, no watermark, no limits. Download it as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG. Everything runs locally on your device; we never see what you generate.

Need more than the free basics? This makes a static QR code (the link is baked in). If you need to edit the destination after printing, track scans, add your logo or run branded landing pages, that's where a dynamic QR platform like Uniqode earns its keep.

Static vs dynamic QR codes

A static QR code — like the one this tool makes — encodes your link directly. It's free and forever, but the destination is fixed: reprint to change it. A dynamic QR code points to a short redirect you control, so you can change where it goes, see scan analytics (time, location, device) and add branding — without reprinting. For a one-off poster or business card, static is perfect. For campaigns you'll measure and update, dynamic wins.

Frequently asked questions

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark and no scan limit. It runs entirely in your browser, so the link you encode never leaves your device.

Do these QR codes expire?

No. A static QR code (what this tool creates) has the link baked in, so it works forever. It just can't be edited after you print it — for that you need a dynamic QR code.

PNG or SVG — which should I download?

Use PNG for screens and quick prints, and SVG for large-format printing (posters, packaging) since it stays sharp at any size.

When do I actually need a paid QR tool?

When you need to change the destination after printing, track scans, add your logo, or run branded landing pages. That's dynamic-QR territory — a platform like Uniqode handles it.
