Truly free QR codes — no expiry, no paywall traps.

Paste your link and tap Generate. Your QR shows up instantly.

Size & scanning

Why ours stays free: we generate a standard QR image you download and own — it doesn’t “expire” later because we’re not locking it behind a subscription.

Quick FAQ

Will my QR code stop working later?

No. Your QR is a normal image. It encodes your URL and will keep working as long as the destination URL works.

Do you store my links?

No. This page generates the image in your browser and you download it. Nothing is saved on our side.

If you’re printing a QR code on flyers, menus, signs, or shirts, it should work permanently — not turn into a “subscription required” page later.

Why This Tool Exists

Someone printed a QR code on real business materials (flyers and even shirts). Months later, it stopped working and sent people to a subscription/paywall screen. That’s brutal — and it shouldn’t happen.

This generator creates direct QR codes so you can download and use them without subscription traps. Your QR code works as long as your destination link (or text) is still valid.

How to Create a QR Code

  1. Enter your URL or text.
  2. Click Generate.
  3. Customize colors, shape, or add a logo (optional).
  4. Download your QR code as PNG or SVG.

No account required. No hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do QR codes expire?

No. QR codes generated here do not expire. They work as long as the destination link is active (or the encoded text remains relevant).

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes. You can create and download unlimited QR codes without creating an account.

Can I use these QR codes commercially?

Yes. Use them for business cards, marketing, packaging, menus, events, or any commercial project.

Why do some QR codes stop working later?

Some generators create QR codes that point to a redirect or tracking link tied to a subscription. If the subscription ends, the redirect can break or show a paywall. This generator produces direct QR codes and doesn’t rely on a subscription to keep them working.

What format should I choose: PNG or SVG?

Use PNG for quick digital sharing. Use SVG for printing or scaling to any size without losing quality.
