Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR code generator free?

Yes! Generate unlimited static QR codes for free. No sign-up required. For dynamic QR codes with tracking and landing pages, create a free account.

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

A static QR code links directly to a URL and can't be changed. A dynamic QR code goes through our servers, so you can update the destination anytime, track scans, and attach a landing page.

What size should my QR code be?

For most uses, at least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 x 0.8 inches). For distance scanning, increase proportionally. Our downloads are high-resolution.

Can I customize the QR code design?

Pro users can customize colors, add a logo, and choose custom slugs for their landing pages.
