General Questions
A Quick Response (QR) code is a two-dimensional barcode capable of storing rich digital information like website links, contact vCards, WiFi credentials, payment instructions, and PDF files. When scanned with a smartphone camera, the device reads the data instantly.
Yes! You can generate unlimited static QR codes for website URLs, vCards, WiFi passwords, SMS, email, and UPI completely free. Static QR codes never expire and have no scan limits.
Static QR codes never expire because their information is encoded directly into the pattern. Dynamic QR codes remain active indefinitely as long as your account is maintained.
Static QR codes store information directly in the pattern and cannot be edited after generation. Dynamic QR codes route through a secure short redirect link, allowing you to edit the destination URL anytime without reprinting, while tracking real-time scan analytics (city, country, device, and time).
Design & Customization
