From a blank page to a print-ready QR flyer in under a minute.

Paste your link

Enter any URL โ€” your wedding photo gallery, event RSVP, business card, restaurant menu, WiFi page, or anything else. We'll auto-correct missing https://.

2

Customize the design

Pick your QR colors, upload a logo, choose a theme and decorative style, or skip straight to download. Smart error correction kicks in automatically when you add a logo.

3

Download instantly

Get the bare QR code as PNG or SVG, or download a full A4 print-ready flyer as PDF. Yours forever โ€” no expiration, no watermark, no account.

Why Fotify's QR Generator Beats Other Free Tools

Most free QR generators give you a plain black-and-white square. Ours is a designed flyer builder that's still completely free.

Logo + Designed Themes

Embed your logo in the center of the QR code with smart error correction. Pick from 5 themes, 10 decorative styles, and 5 frame options no other free generator offers.

Live Preview

See every change update in real time. Try colors, layouts, fonts, and frames before you download โ€” no surprises.

PNG, SVG & Print-Ready PDF

Download just the QR code (PNG or SVG for designers) or a full A4 print-ready flyer (PDF). Perfect for printing, embedding, or sharing digitally.

No Limits, No Watermark

Create as many QR codes as you want, scan them as many times as you want, forever. No signup, no expiration, no Fotify branding stamped on your QR.

Smart Error Correction

When you add a logo, we automatically bump the QR error correction level so your code stays scannable even with the logo in the middle. Most free tools don't do this.

Truly Free, Truly Yours

Static QR codes that never expire. They keep working long after you stop using Fotify โ€” no subscription trap, no renewal fees, no scan limits.

Static vs Dynamic QR Codes โ€” What's Free?

There are two kinds of QR codes. Knowing the difference saves you money.

Static QR Codes (free, what we make)

  • โœ“The URL is baked directly into the QR pattern.
  • โœ“Free forever, no signup, no recurring fees.
  • โœ“Never expire โ€” scan in 5 years, still works.
  • โœ“Unlimited scans, no scan tracking limits.
  • โœ“Once printed, the destination is locked in.

Dynamic QR Codes (subscription, not what we make)

  • โ€ขPoint to a redirect URL hosted by a third party.
  • โ€ขEditable destination after printing.
  • โ€ขOften paid subscription โ€” stops working if you stop paying.
  • โ€ขProvide scan analytics (clicks, location, device).
  • โ€ขRisk of vendor lock-in or watermarked redirects.

For weddings, parties, business cards, and 95% of personal use cases โ€” static is the right choice. Free, permanent, no surprises. That's what we build.

Types of Things You Can Encode in a QR Code

Any of these become a QR code with our generator. Just paste the right link.

URL / Website

Most common โ€” link to any web page (your photo album, RSVP form, menu, etc.).

vCard / Contact Card

Encode contact info that scanners save directly to their phone (use a vCard URL hosted on a free service).

WiFi Network

Auto-connect guests to your WiFi (encode SSID + password using a WiFi-formatted URL).

Email

Open an email composer with the recipient and subject pre-filled.

Phone Number

Tap to call โ€” encode a tel: link as your URL.

SMS / Text Message

Tap to text โ€” encode an sms: link with a pre-filled message.

App Store Link

Smart links that route iOS users to App Store and Android users to Play Store.

Location / Maps

Drop a Google Maps or Apple Maps URL to share an event venue or address.

Free QR Code Generator FAQs

Everything people ask before creating their first QR code.

Is this QR code generator really free?

+
Yes โ€” completely free. No signup, no trial, no credit card. We make money from our paid event photo platform, so the QR generator stays free as a way for people to discover Fotify. Use it as much as you want, even for commercial projects.

Do I need to sign up or create an account?

+
No. You can create, customize, and download QR codes without entering an email or creating an account. We only ask you to sign up if you want to use our event photo sharing platform โ€” but the QR generator itself is fully usable without it.

Will my QR code expire?

+
Static QR codes (what we generate) never expire. The URL is baked directly into the QR pattern, so as long as the URL it points to stays online, the QR code keeps working โ€” for years or decades.

Will there be a Fotify watermark on my QR code?

+
No. The QR code you download has zero watermarks, branding, or hidden Fotify logos. It's 100% yours.

Are there any scan limits?

+
No scan limits whatsoever. Static QR codes scan an unlimited number of times because they don't depend on our servers โ€” the URL is encoded directly in the pattern.

Can I add my logo to the QR code for free?

+
Yes โ€” we're one of the few free QR generators that supports logo embedding. Upload a PNG or JPG and we'll position it in the center. We automatically increase the error correction level to keep the code scannable with the logo in place.

What file formats can I download?

+
Three formats. PNG (raster image, perfect for embedding online or in documents), SVG (vector, scales infinitely without quality loss โ€” best for designers and print), and PDF (full A4 print-ready flyer with your branding, headlines, and design).

Can I use the QR code for commercial purposes?

+
Yes. There are no commercial-use restrictions. Use the QR codes you create for your business, products, weddings, events, packaging, or anything else.

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

+
Static QR codes encode the destination URL directly into the QR pattern โ€” free forever, never expire, but the destination can't be changed after printing. Dynamic QR codes use a redirect, which means the destination can be edited later but typically requires a paid subscription. We make static QR codes.

How does a QR code actually work?

+
QR (Quick Response) codes are 2D barcodes that encode data in a square pattern of black and white modules. When a phone camera scans the pattern, it decodes the data โ€” usually a URL โ€” and prompts the user to open it. They were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave for tracking car parts.

How do I make a QR code for my wedding?

+
Create your wedding photo gallery on Fotify (free), copy the gallery link, paste it into our generator, customize colors and add your monogram or logo, then download the PDF flyer. Print and place at every table โ€” guests scan and upload photos directly to your shared album.

How do I make a QR code for a party?

+
Same flow as weddings โ€” create a Fotify event for your party, generate a QR code linking to it, download the PNG or PDF flyer, and stick it on the wall, table cards, or event invitations. Guests scan to join your live photo gallery.

What's the best size for printing a QR code?

+
Minimum 1 inch (2.5 cm) square for short scanning distances, 2 inches (5 cm) for table cards, and 4 inches (10 cm) or more for large posters and signage. Bigger is always more reliable. SVG export scales perfectly to any size.

Why isn't my QR code scanning?

+
Top causes: (1) too small โ€” increase size, (2) low contrast โ€” make sure dots are darker than background, (3) damaged or distorted print, (4) URL too long โ€” try shortening it, (5) too much logo coverage โ€” try a smaller logo or higher error correction (Q or H).

Can I edit the QR code after I download it?

+
Static QR codes can't be edited โ€” the URL is baked in. If you need to change the destination, generate a new QR code. If you anticipate the destination changing, point your QR at a stable redirect (e.g. a bit.ly or your own domain) and edit that redirect instead.

Can I track scans on my QR code?

+
Static QR codes don't track scans natively. If you need scan analytics, encode a URL with UTM parameters and track via Google Analytics, or use a redirect service that provides click data. For Fotify event QR codes, you can see photo upload stats inside your dashboard.

Is the Fotify QR generator better than other free tools?

+
Yes โ€” and it's not close. Most free tools give you a plain black square with maybe a color picker. We give you logo embedding, 5 themes, 10 decorative element styles, custom fonts, multiple layouts, frames, and PNG/SVG/PDF exports. All free, no watermark.

How do I use my QR code with the Fotify event app?

+
Create your event in the Fotify dashboard, copy your gallery link, paste it into the QR generator, customize the flyer, and download. Print or display digitally. When guests scan, they go straight to your gallery and can upload photos with no app download required.

Fotify is the all-in-one event platform: live photo sharing, RSVP-tracked digital invitations, real-time slideshows, and more โ€” all powered by the same QR codes you just generated.
