QR code generator – free & permanent
Make a QR code in seconds. These are static codes: the content is stored in the code itself, so they keep working forever – no account, no hidden subscription, no scan tracking.

How to use it
- Choose what the code should contain: a link, Wi-Fi access, a contact card, an email, SMS or phone number.
- Fill in the fields – the preview updates instantly.
- Adjust colour, size and error correction if you like, then download PNG (for documents) or SVG (for print).
Static vs dynamic QR codes
A static QR code stores the information – a web address or Wi-Fi details – directly in the pattern. It needs no server and never expires. Dynamic QR codes only contain a short link to the provider, which then redirects. That allows statistics and later changes but makes you dependent on the provider: when a subscription or trial ends, the code can stop working.
For business cards, menus, flyers or home Wi-Fi a static code is usually the better choice – once created it works as long as the target exists.
Tips for readable QR codes
Use a dark colour on a light background and keep the quiet zone (margin). For print, plan at least about 2 × 2 cm, larger for longer content, and test with several phones before printing.

Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static QR codes: the information is encoded directly in the pattern, without a redirect through our server, so they work as long as the content (for example your website) exists.
Is it really free?
Yes – no account, no watermark, no limit. Some QR services create “dynamic” codes that stop working when a trial ends; ours never do that because there is nothing to switch off.
Do you track scans?
No. Because the code points directly to your content, nobody – including us – sees when it is scanned.
PNG or SVG?
PNG is fine for screens, emails and office documents. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size – best for print and signage.
Which error correction should I choose?
Medium works for most uses. Choose High if the code will be printed small, on rough surfaces or with a logo placed over it.
