About the QR Code Generator
Tezmy's QR Code Generator makes static QR codes that work forever. Many “free” QR generators create dynamic codes that redirect through their servers and stop working when a trial ends; ours put your link or text directly inside the code, so there is nothing to expire and no tracking. Make a code for a website, a Wi-Fi network your guests can join by scanning, plain text, an email, a phone number or a text message. Pick your colours, choose the error correction level, and download a high-resolution PNG or a sharp SVG for printing.

What can a QR code contain?

- Wi-Fi: guests scan it to join your network without typing the password.
- Text: a short message, code or note shown on the phone screen.
- Email: opens a new email with the address (and subject) filled in.
- Phone: starts a call to your number.
- SMS: opens a text message to your number, ready to send.
Static QR codes that never expire
Many free QR websites give you a “dynamic” code that points to their own server, then stop it working when a trial ends or ask you to pay. The codes made here are static: your link or information is stored inside the code itself. They keep working forever, don't track anyone who scans them, and don't depend on this website.
The only thing to remember: to change the destination later, you need a new code. So for printed items, link to a page you control.
Tips for printing QR codes
- Keep strong contrast: a dark code on a light background scans best. Light codes on dark backgrounds fail on many phones.
- Print it at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inch); bigger for posters that people scan from far away.
- Leave a clear border of empty space around the code.
- Download the SVG for print: it stays perfectly sharp at any size.
- Choose a higher error correction level if the code may get scratched or dirty.
- Always test with two different phones before printing hundreds.
Error correction in simple words
QR codes contain backup information so they still scan when part of them is damaged. Low (7%) makes the smallest, simplest code, Medium (15%) is right for most uses, and High (25%) or Highest (30%) are for codes that will be printed outside, on packaging or with a logo on top. More backup means more squares, so keep long links short. A QR code is easy to print but easy to get wrong, so first make a safe Wi-Fi key with the Password Generator. For products, the Barcode Generator makes a classic stripe code, the URL Encoder & Decoder fixes links with spaces or symbols, and the Image Resizer sets the exact size for printing.

Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. These are static QR codes: the content is stored inside the code itself, not on our servers, so they keep working forever.
How do I make a QR code for my Wi-Fi?
Choose Wi-Fi, enter your network name and password, and pick the security type (usually WPA). Guests can scan it with their phone camera to join without typing the password.
Can I change the colour of my QR code?
Yes. Pick any colour and background, but keep strong contrast (dark code on a light background works best). We warn you if the colours are too similar to scan.
What is error correction?
It lets a QR code still scan when part of it is dirty, damaged or covered. Higher levels are more robust but make the code denser. Medium is right for most uses.
PNG or SVG: which should I download?
PNG is best for websites, documents and social media. SVG is a vector file that stays perfectly sharp at any size, ideal for posters, flyers and packaging.
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes, completely. There's no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many codes you make, and the codes never expire.
How do I scan a QR code?
Open your phone's camera and point it at the code. Most iPhones and Android phones show a link or button to open it straight away; otherwise use a QR scanning app.
Can I track how many people scan my code?
Not with these codes, because they are static and don't pass through any server. That also means nobody tracks the people who scan them.
