Will my QR code ever expire or stop working?

No, never. This generator creates 100% static QR codes where the destination URL or text is permanently encoded directly into the pixel matrix. There is no middleman redirect server, no tracking link, and no expiration date.

Why do other QR code generators stop working and demand payment?

Commercial QR code services generate dynamic redirect URLs routing through their private servers. After a 14-day free trial or scan limit, they deactivate the redirect and demand monthly subscriptions ($15-$40/mo) to keep printed materials working.

Is this QR code generator completely free?

Yes, it is 100% free and open-source under the MIT license. There are no paid tiers, no sign-ups, no monthly fees, and no scan limits.

Yes. All QR code generation is performed 100% client-side in your web browser. Your inputs, links, and Wi-Fi credentials never leave your device.

Can I print these QR codes on menus, flyers, and business cards?

Yes. You can export high-resolution 1024x1024 px PNG images suitable for sharp 300+ DPI physical printing on restaurant menus, table tents, business cards, merchandise, and signage.

Why Static QR Codes Never Expire

Unlike commercial QR generators that lock your printed codes behind recurring monthly paywalls, this generator creates pure static codes directly in your browser.

No Expiration Scam

Your URL or text is baked directly into the QR pattern. No middleman redirect servers means your code cannot be held hostage for monthly fees.

Lifetime Permanence

Print once on restaurant menus, business cards, stickers, or packaging. The code works forever with unlimited scans.

100% Client-Side Privacy

Zero tracking, zero analytics logging, and zero data leaves your browser. Safe for confidential links, personal notes, and Wi-Fi passwords.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my QR code ever stop working or expire?

No. Standard static QR codes store your direct payload (URL, text, or Wi-Fi data) permanently in the pixel matrix. Since there is no redirect server involved, the QR code never expires, has no scan limits, and requires no subscription.

Why do other websites charge subscriptions for QR codes?

Commercial websites create "dynamic" QR codes that route scans through their proprietary servers. Once you print the codes on physical menus or flyers, they deactivate the redirect after a 14-day trial and demand $15–$40/month to keep the links active.

Can I print these QR codes on merchandise and menus?

Yes. Select the 1024 × 1024 px (Print / 4K) option and Level H Error Correction for maximum sharpness and scan reliability on physical media, packaging, signs, and brochures.
