About
Free QR Code Generator for High Quality QR Codes
QR Code Generator is one of the most popular free online qr code generators with millions of already created free QR codes. The high resolution of the QR codes and the powerful design options make it one of the best free QR code generators on the web that can be used for commercial and print purposes.
Endless lifetime with unlimited scans
QR Code Generator for free also has no limitations. All generated QR codes will work forever, do not expire and have no scanning limits like you see at other commercial QR code generators like 'canva qr code generator', 'qr code generator adobe', 'google qr code generator'. The created QR codes are static so the only limitation is that you can't edit the QR code again.
High resolution Free QR Codes for Print
QR Code Generator offers print quality Free QR codes with high resolutions. When creating your QR code set the pixel size to the highest resolution to create .png and .jpg files in print quality. You can also download vector formats like .pdf for best possible quality. We recommend the .pdf format because it includes all design settings and gives you the perfect print format that can be used with most vector graphic software.
Free QR Codes with Logo
You can put a custom brand logo on your QR code. With QR Code Generator it is very simple and straightforward to add a logo to your QR Code. The QR codes are still readable. Every QR code can have an error correction up to 30%. This means 30% of the QR code (excluding the corner elements) can be removed and the QR code is still working. We can put a logo image on the QR code that covers up to 30%.
Free Generator QR-Code Vector Formats
Most free online QR code makers only allow creating QR codes in low resolutions and do not offer vector formats. Use the offered vector formats to print QR Codes in huge resolutions without losing quality. We recommend the .pdf format for achieving huge resolutions. The offered .pdf formats only support classic QR codes without the design and logo options.
Custom Design and Colors
Make your free QR code look really unique with our design and color options. You can customize the shape and form of the corner elements and the body of the QR code. You can also set your own colors for all QR code elements. Add a gradient color to the QR code body and make it really stand out. Attractive QR codes can increase the amount of scans.
Free for commercial usage
All generated QR Codes are 100% free and can be used for whatever you want. This includes all commercial purposes.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QR code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional code (2D code, matrix code), this means it contains data not only in one dimension (e.g. horizontally from left to right like the barcodes on the products in e.g. your grocery store) but also in a second dimension (vertical and horizontal). The acronym QR is short for “Quick Response”.
QR codes are also often called 2D barcodes. However, this notation is not correct, because it means “a two-dimensional code consisting of bars” although a QR code consists of pixels (so-called “modules”) instead of bars.
The QR code was invented by the automotive industry. Toyota asked their supplier Denso Wave to develop a barcode to safely and easily identify components. QR generators were originally used in industrial applications. Therefore, they had to be easily printable in form and size as well as staying legible when partially destroyed or dirty.
Like other codes, the QR code symbol can be captured with imaging devices like a camera and then digitally processed. A software prepares the captured image data until it can be algorithmically processed according to the QR code standard so the QR code content can be read. This process is assisted by the use of the Reed-Solomon error correction—which is also used for audio CDs to ensure that the data can still be read correctly even with small scratches on the surface.
The error correction capabilities are also used for QR codes with logo (often also called “Design QR code” or simply “QR code with image / icon / logo”). This QR code graphics are faulty “ex works” as the normally centered placed logo in a QR code hides some of its data just as would ordinary dirt.
Because of the excellent error correction (they can be read even if up to 30 % of the surface gets destroyed) and the high memory capacity (in comparison with other bar codes), the QR code also gained traction outside the automotive industry. Modern mobile phones are powerful enough to run QR code reading software and also usually provide a camera. This combination brought up a variety of possibilities to use the QR code to easily transfer data without typing to the peoples new communication center, the smartphone. Therefore, a widespread use of QR codes became possible with the recent smartphone boom and the increasing spread of mobile internet.
Can I use the generated QR Codes for commercial purposes?
Yes, all QR codes you created with this QR generator are free and can be used for whatever you want.
Are the created qr codes expiring?
They do not expire and will work forever! QR Codes created with Free QRCode Generator are static and do not stop working after a certain time. You just can’t edit the content of the QR Codes again.
Does QRCode Monkey work in all browsers?
Free QRCode Generator needs a modern HTML5 capable browser and is officially supporting Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Internet Explorer 11.
Is there a scan limit for the QR codes?
There is no limit and the created QR code will work forever. Scan it is many times as you wish!
Is QRCode Monkey saving my data?
We do not save or reuse your data in any form. We cache your qr code image files for 24h on our server to optimize the performance of Free QRCode Generator
Spelling: “QR-Code”, “QR Code” or “QR code”?
QR Code is the trademark term, the correct English spelling is QR code. In German, QR-Code (mind the hyphen!) is used.
Are QR codes standardized?
Yes. The QR code specification was published by the developer Denso Wave as an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 18004:2000 bzw. ISO/IEC 18004:2006).
Change QR code content (e.g. URL)
Normal, static QR codes are fixed. The data is stored directly in the QR code graphic (hence QR codes are also getting larger and form a more complex pattern if there is more data to store). Therefore, the stored data cannot be changed. Any typo in an already printed QR code cannot be changed, as with any other printed material.
What is a QR code generator?
A QR code generator is a software which stores data into a QR code (for example a text or a website address). E.g. this can be easily done with our online QR generator goQR.me: just create a QR code by typing in your data and download it as high resolution PNG or vector graphic (SVG, EPS). Now you may print your free QR code or embed it on your website to make it available to others.
What kind of information can be stored in a QR code?
QR codes store binary data. Therefore, possibly all kinds of information can be stored in a QR code. However, the storage capacity of a QR codes is limited to a maximum of 3 kB (using an 8 bit encoding) which naturally limits the possibility to directly store images and sounds. A link to a website which provides the multimedia content normally is the more sensible way to show image galleries or music via QR code.
My QR code is not working, what can I do?
There are many reasons why a QR code is not working correctly. At first check your entered data. Sometimes there are little typos in your URL that break your QR code. Some QR codes (like vCard) contain a lot of data. Try reducing the data you entered for your QR code when possible. This can make it easier for QR code scanner apps to read your code. Try to remove the logo in your QR code and check if this helps. Also make sure that there is enough contrast between the background and foreground of the QR code. The foreground should always be darker than the background. Here is an article about reasons why your QR codes are not working.
Is it possible to create different QR codes for the same content?
Yes. Even if all input data and the chosen error correction level (ECC) are identical, there are various graphical representations of a legible and valid QR code with the same content. The reason is that there are eight possible data masks which influence the pattern. These masks exist to prevent some module patterns which are hard to decode. Not every data mask is really suitable for every content. However, many QR code generators do not take the testing and determination of the best mask seriously, although this may result in less legible (but still valid) QR codes.
