QR Code Generator
Many free QR generators redirect your visitors via their own server, count every scan and switch the code off after the trial period. Not here: your code contains the content directly, without detours, without tracking and without an expiry date. Design it with logo and colours, check contrast and readability and download it as a vector file for print.
Static code: the content is stored directly in the code. No redirect via a third-party server, no tracking, no subscription and no expiry date. Your code works as long as the destination exists.
What should the code contain?
https:// is added if missing. Short addresses give simpler codes that are easier to scan.
Shown as text when scanned.
Ideally in international format with the country code, so the code also works with foreign phones.
The password is stored readably in the code. Anyone who scans the code can read it. For guests, a separate guest network is recommended.
The more fields, the denser the code. For business cards, name, phone, e-mail and website are usually enough.
Design
The light margin around the code. 4 modules are recommended.
PNG, JPG, SVG or WebP. The logo stays in your browser.
Preview
Enter some content above and your code appears here.

From flyers to large posters: we design your print materials, plan the right destination page for the QR code and make sure you can measure the success. Get in touch.
How the tool works
You choose what the code should contain and adjust the design. The preview appears instantly, and the check below shows whether the code is easy to read.
Six types of content
Web address, free text, phone number, e-mail with subject, Wi-Fi access and contact as a vCard. With Wi-Fi, guests connect with a single scan, and with a vCard the phone saves your contact details straight to the address book.
Measure scans without a third-party service
For web addresses you can add UTM parameters. This way you see the visits via the code in your own Google Analytics, without a provider collecting data in between. For more options, switch to our UTM builder, and the last link you created there can be taken over here with one click.
Error correction and logo
QR codes contain reserves so that they remain readable even when scratched or dirty. You choose the level from L (7 percent) to H (30 percent). With a logo, the tool automatically switches to H and calculates how much area the logo covers.
Colours with contrast check
You choose foreground and background freely. The tool warns if the contrast is too low or the colours are swapped, meaning light modules on a dark background. Many camera apps cannot read such inverted codes.
Export for print and web
SVG is a vector format and can be enlarged as much as you like without loss of quality, ideal for printers and designers. There is also PNG up to 4096 pixels and a PDF in the size you need in centimetres. Where the browser supports it, the tool reads the finished code once more as a check.
Why a static QR code is the better choice
So-called dynamic QR codes do not lead directly to your website but first to a provider that redirects. This allows statistics but makes you dependent: if the subscription ends or the provider closes, all printed codes stop working. In addition, your customers’ data ends up with a third party, which must be mentioned in your privacy policy.
A static code contains the address itself. It works without a server in between as long as the destination exists, and it opens faster when scanned. If you want to know how often it is used, add UTM parameters and see the visits in your own analytics.
Printed materials are expensive and stay in circulation for a long time. So plan a destination address that lasts, such as a dedicated page for the campaign, instead of a page that disappears with the next relaunch. Then the code on posters, flyers and packaging stays valid for years.
