Make it look like you
A QR code is a piece of your branding. Style every part of it — and we check it still scans before you export.
Logo in the middle
Drop your logo in the center with an optional backing plate. Error correction bumps to H automatically so it still scans.
Gradients & colors
Solid or linear-gradient fills at any rotation, with a live contrast check so you never ship an unscannable code.
Pattern styling
Style the dots, the eye frames, and the eye centers separately — square, round, drop, or leaf.
Frames & captions
Banner, badge, and speech-bubble frames with a self-hosted font picker and your own call-to-action text.
Templates
Start from a preset, save your own, and reuse it across the team so every code looks like you.
Every export format
PNG, SVG, and print-ready PDF at any size — vector output stays sharp at billboard scale.
Static vs dynamic QR codes
A static code encodes the destination in the pattern itself: it works forever and needs nobody, but it can never change or be measured. A dynamic code encodes a short link we host — so it can do both.
| Capability | Static | Dynamic |
|---|---|---|
| Works offline, forever, with no account | ||
| Custom design, logo, and frames | ||
| Change the destination after printing | ||
| Scan analytics (time, place, device) | ||
| Route by country, language, or device | ||
| A/B test two destinations | ||
| Expire, schedule, or password-protect | ||
| Generate in bulk from a CSV | ||
| Create and manage over an API |
Not sure? Start static — every static QR in the studio has a one-click make it trackable upgrade.
Questions people actually ask
- Is the QR code generator free?
- Yes. You can generate and download static QR codes in PNG, SVG, and PDF for free, with no watermark and no account. A free account adds dynamic QR codes you can edit after printing, plus scan analytics.
- Do the QR codes expire?
- Static QR codes never expire — the destination is encoded in the image itself, so it works with or without us. Dynamic QR codes point at a short link we host, and stay live as long as your account does. You can also set a deliberate expiry date if you want one.
- Can I change where a QR code points after I print it?
- Only with a dynamic QR code. A static code physically encodes the destination in its pattern, so changing it means reprinting. A dynamic code encodes a short link, so you can repoint it any time and every printed code follows.
- Will a QR code with my logo still scan?
- Yes. When you add a logo we automatically raise the error-correction level to H, which lets roughly 30% of the code be obscured and still decode. We also check foreground/background contrast and warn you before you export.
- Can I track how many people scan my QR code?
- With a dynamic QR code, yes — you get scans over time, country and city, device and OS, and referrer, in real time. Static QR codes cannot be tracked by anyone, because nothing about the scan reaches a server.
- Can I generate a lot of QR codes at once?
- Yes. Import a CSV to generate codes in bulk, or use the REST API to create them programmatically and pull scan data back into your own tools.
