Question 1

How do I create a QR code for free?

Accepted Answer

Pick a type above, enter your details, customize the look if you want, and download the PNG or SVG. It is completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on your code.

Question 2

Are QR code generators safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QRGen builds your code entirely in your browser — your data is never uploaded to or stored on our servers. A static QR code simply encodes the information you enter; it cannot collect data on its own.

Question 3

Do free QR codes expire?

Accepted Answer

No. The codes here are static — the data is encoded directly into the pattern, so they never expire and keep working as long as the destination they point to stays live.

Question 4

What is the difference between a static and dynamic QR code?

Accepted Answer

A static code stores the data directly in the pattern — free, permanent, but not editable or trackable. A dynamic code points to a short redirect you control, so it can be edited and its scans tracked. QRGen currently makes static codes.

Question 5

How do I make a QR code for a website?

Accepted Answer

Choose the URL type, paste your web address, and your scannable code is generated instantly. Download it as PNG or SVG for print or digital use.

Question 6

How can I make a QR code that never expires?

Accepted Answer

Use a static QR code — like the ones QRGen creates. Because the link is encoded directly into the code and does not depend on any redirect server, it keeps working indefinitely.

Question 7

How do I generate a QR code with a logo in the middle?

Accepted Answer

Open "More options," upload your logo under the logo control, and it is placed in the center of the code. Keep error correction at Medium or higher so the code stays scannable.

Question 8

How do I create QR codes in bulk from Excel?

Accepted Answer

Bulk generation from a spreadsheet is a dynamic/premium feature that needs an account and backend. QRGen currently focuses on fast, free single codes; bulk is on our roadmap.

Question 9

Can I use a free QR code for commercial or packaging use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Download high-resolution PNG or SVG and use your code on packaging, signage, business cards, and any commercial print or digital material — no license needed.

Question 10

What file format should I download for high-quality printing?

Accepted Answer

Use SVG for print — it is vector and stays sharp at any size. PNG at a large size also works well for most print jobs.

Question 11

How can I add a logo to the center of a QR code?

Accepted Answer

Upload it under "More options" → Logo. QRGen places it in the center and keeps the surrounding modules clear so scanning still works.

Question 12

Why is my printed QR code failing to scan?

Accepted Answer

Common causes: the code is printed too small, there is not enough contrast between the code and background, or a heavy logo with low error correction. Increase size, keep strong contrast, and set error correction to High.
