Create your QR code
Private static modeYour QR content is used in your browser to draw the code. Static downloads do not rely on our site, tracking links, or a paid redirect service.
Batch tools
Paste one destination per line to create a quick batch preview and export a checklist CSV.
Create a QR code in three steps
The workflow stays intentionally simple: choose the right QR format, confirm the preview scans cleanly, then download a file that fits your print or digital use.
1
Choose your QR type
Use URL, Wi-Fi, vCard, event, email, SMS, WhatsApp, map, review, or plain text formats from the generator tabs.
2
Customize and preview
Set colors, error correction, print use, optional logo text, and check contrast, density, and recommended size.
3
Download PNG or SVG
Export SVG for print layouts or PNG for everyday use, then test the final QR code on a phone before sharing.
QR print tools
A QR code should be large enough for the scanning distance and printed with a quiet margin around it. Use the calculator, then run the checklist before sending anything to print.
Size calculator
Suggested printed QR size: 1.0 in / 25 mm minimum.
Rule of thumb: printed QR width should be at least one-tenth of the scanning distance, with a practical floor around 0.8 inches for business cards.
Print checklist
- Scan the final proof on at least two phones before printing in volume.
- Keep a quiet margin around the QR code; do not crowd it with text or borders.
- Use dark foreground on a light background and avoid glossy glare where possible.
- Use SVG for print layouts and PNG only when your print tool requires it.
- For printed campaigns, use a destination URL you control so you can redirect later if needed.
| Use case | Suggested minimum | Practical advice |
|---|---|---|
| Business card | 0.8 in / 20 mm | Use a short URL and avoid placing the code near the card edge. |
| Flyer or handout | 1.2 in / 30 mm | Keep strong contrast and leave white space around the code. |
| Restaurant table sign | 1.6 in / 40 mm | Laminate glare can hurt scanning, so test under the room lighting. |
| Poster or wall sign | 4 in / 100 mm | Increase size as viewing distance grows; short links scan faster. |
Why static QR codes are different
Static QR codes store the final destination directly inside the code. Once downloaded, they do not depend on this website to keep working, and they do not expire because of a subscription. That makes them ideal for printed materials where reliability matters more than scan analytics.
No forced redirect
Your static QR code points directly to the text, URL, Wi-Fi details, or contact card you enter.
No account needed
The generator is designed for quick one-off and batch work without a login wall.
Built for print
Warnings help catch low contrast, dense payloads, and sizing issues before you print.
Proof check panel
Contrast, density, logo safety, and export guidance update as you design.
Local brand kit
Save your preferred QR colors, error correction, and print preset locally on this device.
Reusable templates
Start from common print workflows like business cards, flyers, Wi-Fi signs, and event RSVPs.
No upsell maze
The interface stays focused on creating reliable static QR codes and downloading clean files.

QR code FAQ
Do free static QR codes expire?
No. A static QR code keeps the data inside the code itself. If the destination URL stays online, the printed QR code keeps working.
Can I change the destination later?
Not with a static QR code. Use a redirect URL that you control if you may need to change the destination after printing.
What colors scan best?
Dark foreground on a light background is safest. Avoid low-contrast colors, transparent backgrounds for print, and busy artwork behind the code.
