Free QR code generator with no expiration

The codes you make here cannot expire, and here is why that is true rather than a slogan: a static QR code contains your link inside the pattern. Your phone reads it without talking to us. There is no account, no trial and no server between the paper and the destination.

Your code will appear here.

Download

This is a static code. The destination is inside the code itself, so there is no server to switch off and nothing to expire. Print as many as you like.

Want a code you can change after printing? Editable codes are coming: $19, paid once, with nothing to renew. Leave your email and we'll send one sign-in link when they're ready.

Why "free" QR codes expire on other sites

Some generators give you a code that points at a short link on their domain, then switch the short link off when a trial ends. The printed code is fine; the server behind it is gone. If you were not told the code was "dynamic", you found out after the business cards arrived.

How to tell which kind you have

Check a code you already have. Upload a picture of it or paste the text inside it, and the checker tells you whether it holds the destination itself or points at a service that could switch it off. → Is my QR code safe to print?

When you do want an editable code

Sometimes you need to change the destination after printing: the menu moved, the RSVP form changed. That is an editable (dynamic) code, and it depends on a server. Ours are coming: a one-time payment of $19, with nothing to renew. Here is exactly what we promise if we ever shut down. → Guarantee
