300 px
Adjusts on-screen preview and downloaded PNG dimensions.
Higher levels help damaged prints and logos; they slightly increase module density.
Small, centered logos work best. When a logo is present, error correction is set to Level H automatically.
Static vs dynamic QR codes
Both can look identical on paper. The difference is whether the destination can change after printing—and whether you need analytics.
| Topic | Static (this tool) | Dynamic (future upgrade) |
|---|---|---|
| What is encoded | The final URL or text inside the image | A short link you can repoint in a dashboard |
| Best for | Stable menus, WiFi, evergreen PDFs, permanent vCards | Campaigns, A/B tests, destinations that change weekly |
| Analytics | Not built into the QR image itself | Scan counts, time ranges, exportable reports |
| Pricing outlook | Free PNG generation for static codes here | Planned paid tiers for teams that need routing + data |

Frequently asked questions
Are QR codes free?
Yes—creating and downloading static QR codes here is free for typical use. Future Pro-style features may add paid options; the baseline static PNG path is designed to stay approachable.
Do static QR codes expire?
Not because of the QR format itself. A static code keeps working while the image is readable and the encoded content still makes sense (for example the URL still loads).
Can I create a QR code without signing up?
Yes for basic static generation. Enter your content, customize, and download PNG without an account.
Can I add a logo to a QR code?
Yes. Use a small logo and keep contrast strong. The tool raises error correction automatically when a logo is present.
What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
Static codes store the final payload in the image. Dynamic codes use a managed short link you can change later—useful for marketing ops, with analytics as a typical add-on.
Can I use a QR code for WiFi?
Yes. The WiFi tab encodes SSID, password, and security type so guests can connect after scanning.
What file format should I download?
PNG is the practical default for digital and print starters. SVG or PDF may be added later for vector workflows.
Popular QR code use cases
Short explainers with natural language—each topic links to a dedicated page for people (and search engines) who want more depth.
QR code for URL
Link posters, product packaging, and event signage to landing pages without asking visitors to type long web addresses. A URL QR code is a simple bridge from physical touchpoints to the web destinations you already run—ideal when the link is stable for the life of the print run.
QR code for WiFi
Share guest networks in cafés, offices, and rentals. Guests scan once instead of typing SSIDs or passwords aloud. WPA/WPA2 is typical for everyday security; test scans on both iPhone and Android before printing.
QR code for business card
vCard QR codes let people save your contact instantly at trade shows and meetings. Pair the code with a short printed line so people know what will open before they scan.
QR code for PDF
Point scanners to a hosted PDF—menus, manuals, and spec sheets work well when the file URL stays reliable. If the file must change often, plan for reprints or consider a future dynamic short link workflow.
Use the URL tab with a direct HTTPS link to your PDF.
QR code for restaurant menu
Table tents and window stickers can link to allergen info, specials, or ordering pages. Prioritize contrast and test under real lighting; laminated surfaces can glare—slight tilt often helps phone cameras lock on faster.
Pair with URL QR guidance for sizing and contrast tips.
