QR Code Generator — Create Static & Dynamic QR Codes

Generate professional QR codes in seconds — static for permanent links or dynamic for editable destinations and analytics. Customize colors, add logos, choose frames and download high-resolution PNG or SVG. No account required for static codes; sign up for analytics and dynamic editing.

Which QR type should you use?

Static QR Codes — Permanent URL baked into the code. Best for fixed destinations (printed materials, packaging). No tracking after creation.

Dynamic QR Codes — Redirectable short URL behind the QR. Edit destination anytime, view scan analytics (time, location, device), and A/B test campaigns.

Step-by-step — Create a QR code (quick)

  1. Choose Static or Dynamic.
  2. Paste the destination URL or select content type (URL, PDF, vCard, Wi-Fi, WhatsApp).
  3. Customize: colors, eyes, matrix, frame, and upload your logo.
  4. Choose export format: PNG for web, SVG for print/scale.
  5. Generate and download. For Dynamic QR codes, save to your account to access analytics and editing.

Customization options (what you can change)

  • Colors: Foreground, background, and eye colors; ensure contrast for scannability.
  • Logo: Upload PNG/SVG; recommended max 20% of QR area.
  • Frames & CTA labels: Add a branded frame with a call-to-action (e.g., “Scan to Visit”).
  • Eye & Matrix Styles: Change the shape of finder patterns and dot style for unique branding.
  • Error Correction: Choose higher correction if you add a logo or expect wear on prints.

Analytics & Campaigns (dynamic only)

Dynamic QR codes include a dashboard showing:

  • Scan count: Total and daily breakdown.
  • Locations: Country and city-level data (based on IP).
  • Device & OS: Mobile vs desktop; iOS vs Android.
  • Referrers & UTM: See where traffic came from and tie scans to campaign UTM tags.
  • Export reports: CSV downloads for deeper analysis.

Best practices for reliable scanning

  • Minimum physical size: 2 × 2 cm for most camera phones at close distance; larger for posters.
  • Maintain contrast: dark foreground on light background.
  • Avoid busy backgrounds under the QR pattern.
  • Test on multiple devices before printing.
  • Use SVG for print to avoid pixelation.

Use cases (examples)

Restaurants: Menus and contactless ordering.

Retail: Product details and reviews on packaging.

Events: Digital tickets and check-in.

Real estate: Listings and virtual tours.

Marketing: Trackable ad creatives and OOH campaigns.

Pricing & limits (summary)

Static QR Codes — free, unlimited generation, PNG & SVG. 
Dynamic QR Codes — free trial; analytics and edit history require account or premium plan. (Update pricing details in CMS.)

Troubleshooting quick guide

  • QR not scanning: check size, contrast, print quality.
  • Logo blocks scanning: reduce logo size or increase error correction.
  • Analytics missing: confirm the QR is dynamic and linked to your account.
