Frequently asked questions
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes. This QR code generator is free to use for link QR codes. You can create a QR code and download it as a PNG or SVG without creating an account.
How do I create a QR code for a link?
Paste the URL you want people to visit, preview the generated QR code, then download it as a PNG or SVG. If you enter a domain without a protocol, the tool automatically adds https:// for you.
Does this QR code generator upload my link to a server?
No. The QR code is generated in your browser. Your link is not sent to Printability's servers.
Is this QR code generator safe?
Yes. The generator runs locally in your browser and uses the same open source QR code generation library used by millions of businesses around the world. It creates a static QR code directly from the link you enter. You should still test the QR code before publishing it and only link to pages you trust.
Do QR codes expire?
Static QR codes do not expire because the destination is encoded directly into the QR code. The QR code will keep working as long as the URL itself stays live. If the destination page is deleted, moved, or changed, the QR code will point to that broken or changed URL.
What is the difference between a static and dynamic QR code?
A static QR code stores the final destination directly in the code, so it does not need a hosted redirect service. A dynamic QR code points to a short redirect URL that can be edited later and may support scan analytics. This tool currently creates static QR codes.
Can I use this QR code generator for business cards?
Yes. QR codes work well on business cards, flyers, posters, packaging, labels, menus, signage, and other printed materials. For print, download the SVG when possible so the code stays sharp at any size.
Which QR code file format should I download?
Use SVG when you want a scalable vector file for design tools or print layouts. Use PNG when you need a simple image file for documents, websites, or quick sharing.
How large should a printed QR code be?
At an absolute minumum, keep printed QR codes around 0.8 inches or 2 cm wide. 1-2 inches wide is more reliable. Ensure high contrast and margins around the code. Always test the final printed size before producing a large run.
