Free, branded QR codes you actually own. No sign-up, no tracking, no watermarks, no "upgrade to pro" popups. Paste a URL, download a PNG.
A real QR generator, not a freemium trap. Use it forever, hand it to a colleague, embed it in a poster — there's nothing to "unlock."
Drop any PNG, SVG, or JPG in the middle. High error-correction means the code still scans even with a logo covering 20% of it.
Paste a link, get a styled QR. Done.
Build a Linktree-style page with multiple URLs. Hosted free on adfreeqr.com or download the HTML.
520×520 PNG for digital use, scalable SVG for any print size. No watermark, no "Made with…" stamp.
Match your brand. Contrast warnings keep it scannable.
QR generation happens in your browser. Your URLs and logos never touch our servers. The entire site is one HTML file you can audit on GitHub.
Single URL (your site, a product page, a vCard) or build a multi-link page with your name, tagline, and several URLs.
Upload a logo, pick QR dot and background colors. Live preview updates as you type. Contrast warning catches bad combos.
Hit generate, download as PNG (digital) or SVG (scalable for print). Test scan it. Done.
Most free QR generators are trial-ware in disguise. Here's what each actually gives you without paying.

Comparison based on each provider's free tier as of June 2026. We're an open-source side project — if anything is inaccurate, file an issue and we'll fix it.
Restaurants, weddings, business cards, posters, packaging, equipment tags, museum exhibits — anywhere physical meets digital.
One QR on each table that opens your menu. Update prices without reprinting.
Multi-link page with email, phone, LinkedIn, portfolio. One QR replaces a stack of contacts.
QR on save-the-dates linking to RSVP, registry, dress code, and venue map.
High-res 520px PNG ready for offset printing. No watermark in the corner.
Link to manuals, registration, support — no need to print a URL nobody types.
Each asset gets a QR linking to its docs, history, or report-a-problem form.
Self-guided tours that update without replacing signage.
Artists, freelancers, students: one QR to a curated multi-link page.
Yes. No sign-up, no credit card, no upgrade prompts, no watermarks. The source code is on GitHub under the MIT license — you can run your own copy on your own server if you'd rather. We don't even ask for your email.
No. The QR code you download encodes your URL directly — it works forever, even if our site disappears tomorrow. Compare that to "dynamic QR codes" from paid services: those route through their server, so when they shut down or your subscription lapses, every printed code becomes useless.
Yes. Upload any PNG, SVG, or JPG — we place it in the centre of the QR with a white halo for visibility. Error correction is set to level H, which lets the QR survive up to 30% obstruction, so the code still scans reliably with a logo covering the middle.
A small landing page with several links — your name, a logo, and a list of URLs (Instagram, website, WhatsApp, etc.). Build it in the generator, then either let us host it free at adfreeqr.com/p/... (the link data is encoded in the URL itself — no database, never expires) or download the HTML and host it yourself.
We count anonymous events: which type of QR was generated and the visiting country (from a Cloudflare HTTP header). We never store raw IP addresses, never set cookies, never use a third-party analytics provider. Generation itself happens in your browser — your URLs and logos are never sent to our servers.
Entirely on your device. The whole page is one HTML file and runs in your browser using JavaScript. Open it once, then disconnect from the internet — the generator still works. You can verify this in the browser dev tools network tab.
Yes. QR codes you generate are yours — print them on products, packaging, ads, books, t-shirts. There's no licence, no attribution requirement, no restriction.
