Is this QR code generator free?

Yes. You can generate unlimited static QR codes for free, with no sign-up, and download them as PNG or SVG.

What types of QR codes can I create?

URL/website, plain text, Wi-Fi network access, vCard contact cards, email, phone numbers, SMS messages, geographic locations, and calendar events.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?

Yes. You can upload a center logo and adjust colors and module styles. Use error-correction level H for the most reliable scanning with a logo.

Do the QR codes expire?

No. Static QR codes encode the data directly into the image, so they never expire and keep working forever.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

A static QR code stores the data inside the image and cannot be changed. A dynamic QR code points to a short link you control, so you can edit the destination after printing and track scans.

Can I edit a QR code after I have printed it?

Yes, with a dynamic QR code. Dynamic codes point to a short link you control, so you can change the destination at any time without reprinting. Dynamic codes are part of the Pro plan.

Can I track how many times my QR code is scanned?

Yes. Dynamic QR codes record each scan, so you can see scan counts and the trend over time from your dashboard. Scan analytics is a Pro feature.

Can I organize my saved QR codes?

Yes. With a Pro account you can sort your codes into groups (folders) to keep large collections tidy and filter your dashboard by group.

Can I share my QR codes with other people?

Yes. You can share a single code or a whole group by email and choose whether each person is a viewer or an editor. Sharing is a Pro feature.

Can I share QR codes with a whole team?

Yes. With QRForge Teams you create a team, add members by email, and share a code or group with everyone at once. You can temporarily disable a member to suspend their access or remove them entirely. Teams is a Pro feature.
