Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our free static QR codes.
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes, it is 100% free. There are no trial periods, no hidden fees, no credit cards required, and absolutely no watermarks on your downloaded QR codes.
Will my QR code expire?
No. We generate static QR codes. A static QR code contains the data directly inside the pattern. It will work forever, even if our website goes offline tomorrow.
What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
Static codes (ours) encode the data directly. They never expire and are free forever. Dynamic codes (like Bitly or QR Tiger) use a short URL that redirects through their servers. They charge monthly fees, can track scans, but will stop working if you stop paying or if the company shuts down.
Why do other websites charge for QR codes?
Companies charge for "dynamic" QR codes. They host a redirect on their server so you can change the destination URL later and track analytics. This costs them server money, so they charge a subscription. We believe basic, permanent QR codes should be free for everyone.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You do not need an account, an email address, or a password. Just use the tool and download your code immediately.
Is there a scan limit?
No. Because the data is embedded directly into the code, your phone reads it locally. There are no servers involved, so you can scan it millions of times without limits.
Can I use these QR codes for commercial purposes?
Yes. You can use the generated QR codes on products, menus, business cards, billboards, and marketing materials for your business without paying any royalties.
What formats can I download?
You can download as SVG (perfect for large format printing like banners) or PNG in 256px, 512px, or 1024px sizes for digital use.
What is the maximum data capacity?
A standard QR code can hold up to about 2,900 characters of text. If you paste an extremely long URL, the code might become too dense to scan. We recommend keeping data under 500 characters.
Will there be a watermark on my QR code?
No. We do not add our logo or branding to your QR code. It is 100% clean and professional.
How do I print the QR code?
Download the SVG or PNG file and open it on your computer. You can insert it into a Word document, Canva, or Illustrator to print at home, or send it to a professional print shop.
Do these QR codes work offline?
Yes. Because the data (like a WiFi password or text) is stored directly in the pattern, the phone can read it without an internet connection.
Can I track how many people scanned my code?
No. Static QR codes do not have built-in analytics. If you need analytics, you have to use a dynamic QR service, which usually costs money and means your code will expire if you cancel.
Can I change the URL after I print the QR code?
No. With a static code, the destination is locked forever. You must generate and print a new code if the destination changes. This is the trade-off for it being free and never expiring.
What error correction level should I use?
Error correction allows a QR code to be scanned even if it is dirty or damaged. We recommend M (15%), which is the default. If you are printing on rough material, choose Q (25%) or H (30%).
What is the best size to print?
A good rule of thumb is 1:10. If you are scanning from 1 meter away, the QR code should be at least 10cm wide. For a business card, 2cm is enough.
Are these QR codes safe to use?
Yes. Since the data is embedded directly into the code and not routed through a third-party server, there is no risk of a malicious redirect or data tracking.
Do you store the data I put into the QR code?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data is never sent to our servers.
What happens if your website goes down?
Nothing happens. The QR codes you downloaded will continue to work forever because they do not rely on our servers to function.
Can I create a QR code for a PDF or file?
Yes. Upload your PDF to a cloud drive (like Google Drive or Dropbox), make the file public, copy the link, and paste it into the Link/URL tab in our tool.
What this tool is best for
Our generator creates standard static QR codes. This makes them incredibly versatile and permanent, but there are a few technical limits you should know about.
| Use Case | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Printing large banners | Perfect | Download the SVG file. It is a vector format, meaning it can be scaled to a billboard size without losing quality. |
| High-res flyers | Perfect | Download the 1024px PNG. It will look sharp on standard A4 and A5 printed flyers. |
| Embedding on websites | Perfect | Use the SVG or PNG. It will load fast and look crisp on both mobile and desktop screens. |
| Extremely long URLs | Works, with caveats | If your URL is very long, the QR code becomes dense and harder to scan. Use a free URL shortener first. |
| Low-contrast colors | Poor | Do not use yellow text on a white background. Ensure high contrast (dark on light) for reliable scanning. |
| Moving objects | Not recommended | QR codes on moving vehicles are impossible to scan. Use stationary placements. |
Tips for perfect QR codes
Use SVG for printing
If you are sending the QR code to a print shop, always choose the SVG format. It is a vector file that will never look blurry, no matter how large they print it.
Test with multiple phones
Before you print 1,000 flyers, test the QR code on an iPhone, an Android, and an older device to ensure universal compatibility.
Shorten long URLs
If you are using the Link/URL tool, try to keep the link under 100 characters. Long links create dense QR codes that are harder to scan in low light.
Do not use Dynamic QR services
Dynamic QR services (like Bitly) redirect through their servers. If they go bankrupt or you stop paying, your QR code dies. Static codes (like ours) work forever.
ToolDeck vs Bitly & QR Tiger
Many "free" QR code websites force you to create an account, stamp a watermark on your code, or give you a code that expires after a 14-day trial. We don't do any of that.
| Feature | TToolDeck | Bitly / QR Tiger |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark on QR code | No | Yes |
| QR code expires after trial | No | Yes |
| Scan limits | No | Yes |
| Credit card required to download | No | Yes |
| Sign-up or account required | No | Yes |
| Dynamic tracking (requires subscription) | No | Yes |
