Do these QR codes expire?

No. The content is encoded directly in the image, so the code works for as long as the link or text it contains is valid.

Can I track how many people scan it?

Not with a static code. Point it at a link with UTM parameters and use your website analytics to measure visits.

How small can I print a QR code?

Around 2 × 2 cm is a practical minimum for short links scanned up close. Long content makes denser codes that need to be printed larger.

Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?

No. The code is generated in your browser. The password is only stored in the image you download.

About

What it does

QR codes link the physical world to the web: menus, posters, business cards, packaging, event tickets and Wi-Fi sign-in cards. Point a phone camera at one and it opens the link or joins the network.

The codes made here are static: the content is stored in the pattern itself. There's no redirect service, no tracking and nothing that can expire or be switched off later, unlike many "free" generators.

Supported formats

PNG: For screens, documents, slides and social posts.
SVG: Vector: perfectly sharp at any print size. Best for posters, packaging and designers.

Settings explained

Colours: Keep a dark foreground on a light background with strong contrast. Inverted (light-on-dark) codes fail in many scanner apps.
Size: The PNG's width in pixels. For print, use SVG, which scales to any size without blurring.
Quiet zone: The blank border around the code. Scanners need at least 2 modules (4 is the official recommendation) to find it.
Error correction: Higher levels survive scratches, dirt or a small logo on top, at the cost of a denser code. Medium suits most uses.

Good for

Guest Wi-Fi sign-in cards
Linking posters and flyers to a website
Business cards with a contact link
