Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes, completely free. No signup, no credit card, no hidden fees. Make up to 10 hosted QR codes an hour and download them as PNG or SVG; WiFi, vCard and event codes are made on your device.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required for basic QR codes. Free codes last 30 days. Sign up (also free) to get permanent QR codes with scan analytics; custom branding is on Pro and Max.

How long does my QR code last?

Free QR codes are active for 30 days. After that, the hosted link expires. Sign up for a free account to create permanent QR codes that never expire.

Can I track how many people scan my QR code?

Scan analytics are available with a free MenuHoster account. You'll see total scans, unique visitors, and scan locations on your dashboard.

What size should I print my QR code?

For best results, print your QR code at least 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 inches). The QR code uses high error correction, so it works even if partially covered or slightly damaged.

What formats can I generate QR codes for?

You can create QR codes for any URL, PDF document, or image. We also support WiFi networks, vCards, calendar events, social media profiles, and more.

Can I customize the QR code colors?

Yes! Toggle between light and dark themes. Both options use our emerald brand colors with high contrast for reliable scanning.
