URL QR code FAQ
Quick answers about static codes, analytics, printing, and expiration.
Is this URL QR code generator free?
Yes, it is 100% free with no watermarks and no hidden fees.
Will the QR code expire?
No. We generate static QR codes that contain the URL directly. They work forever.
Do I need an account?
No. You can generate and download the code instantly.
What is the difference between static and dynamic?
Static codes (ours) embed the URL directly. Dynamic codes (like Bitly) use a redirect. Static codes are free forever; dynamic codes expire if you stop paying.
Can I track scans?
No. Static QR codes do not have built-in analytics. You would need a dynamic service to track scans.
What formats do you offer?
We offer SVG (perfect for print) and PNG in multiple resolutions.
Can I use this for commercial purposes?
Yes, you can use the QR codes on products, menus, and marketing materials.
What is the maximum URL length?
Standard QR codes can hold up to about 2,900 characters. Keep it as short as possible for reliable scanning.
Will there be a watermark?
No. We do not add any branding to your QR code.
How do I print it?
Download the SVG and send it to a print shop, or insert the PNG into a document.
Does it work offline?
No. The QR code encodes a URL, so the user needs an internet connection to visit the website.
Can I link to a YouTube video?
Yes, just paste the video URL into the tool.
Can I link to a PDF file?
Yes. Paste the public link to the PDF.
What if I change the URL later?
Because it is a static code, you cannot change the destination. You must generate a new code.
Do I need to install software?
No. It runs entirely in your browser.
Is it safe to use?
Yes. Your URLs are never sent to our servers.
Can I put my logo in the center?
Currently, we do not support logos to ensure the highest scan reliability.
Why is my QR code not scanning?
Ensure the code is not too small and has high contrast.
Can I create a QR code for a phone number?
Yes, select the "Phone" tab in our all-in-one tool.
Can I use this on a business card?
Yes. Keep the URL short so the QR code remains simple and easy to scan.
Where should you place your URL QR code?
URL QR codes are incredibly versatile. They can be used almost anywhere. Here is a breakdown of the best and worst placements.
| Placement | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Printing on flyers | Perfect | Download the SVG for infinite scaling. It will never look pixelated. |
| Embedding on websites | Perfect | Use the PNG for a crisp display on desktop and mobile. |
| Short URLs (e.g. example.com) | Perfect | The QR code will be simple and very easy to scan. |
| Very long URLs (100+ chars) | Works, with caveats | The QR code will have a lot of "dots". Test it with a few phones before printing. |
| Dynamic tracking required | Poor | We generate static codes. If you need to track scans, you must use a paid dynamic service. |
| Moving vehicles | Not recommended | QR codes on moving vehicles are impossible to scan. Use stationary placements. |
Tips for getting more scans
Shorten long URLs
If your URL is very long, use a free URL shortener. This reduces the density of the QR code, making it much easier to scan.
Use SVG for print
If you are printing the QR code on a flyer, download the SVG. It will never look blurry, no matter the size.
Test the link
Scan the QR code with your own phone while you are on mobile data (not WiFi) to ensure the website opens publicly.
Keep it above the fold
If placing it on a poster or flyer, keep it at eye level. Do not make the user bend down to scan it.
