Add your content

Make it your own
Use a hex color like #1a2b3c.
Frames sit outside the quiet zone, so they never cover the code.
Keep at least 4 for reliable scanning.
Large logos may reduce QR scanning reliability.
Your logo is processed locally in your browser. It is never uploaded.
Higher levels let the code scan even when part of it is covered or damaged, but make it denser.

Features
Why link codes work well
Opens directly
No redirect or short link in between. Scanners see your real address, which builds trust.
Nothing to renew
We host nothing for your code, so there is no subscription that can lapse and break it after you print.
Safety checks
Only http:// and https:// links are accepted. Malformed addresses are caught before you download.

Guide
Tips for link QR codes
- Shorter links make simpler codes. A long address with tracking parameters makes the pattern denser and harder to scan from far away. Remove anything you do not need.
- Use a page you control. Static codes cannot be edited after printing, so link to a page whose content you can update, such as
yoursite.com/menu, rather than a file that might move. - Want scan numbers? Add UTM parameters, for example
?utm_source=qr&utm_medium=flyer, and read them in your own website analytics. - Test before printing. Scan the downloaded file with at least two phones, at the size and distance people will use it.
Do I need to include https://?
No. If you type example.com we add https:// automatically. If your site only works on http://, type that yourself.
Will the QR code work if I change my website?
Yes, as long as the same address still exists. The code only stores the address. If you move or delete the page, the code will open a missing page, so keep the address live or set up a redirect on your site.
Can I track static QR scans?
Not with the code itself. A static code opens your content directly, so nobody (including us) can count its scans. If you need numbers, send people to your own web page and read that page's analytics, for example with a UTM tag on the link.
Why was my link rejected?
We only accept web addresses beginning with http:// or https:// and a real domain, like example.com. Links such as javascript:, data: or file: are blocked because they can be unsafe.
Does a static QR code expire?
No. The content is part of the pattern itself, so there is nothing to switch off. A static code keeps working as long as the printed image is readable. If it points to a web page, that page does need to stay online.
