QR code that never expires

A QR code that cannot expire.

Link, Wi-Fi, Contact, Text, Email and SMS codes made here are static: what they hold is written into the picture, not stored on our servers. Poll codes are the exception and work as long as the poll exists. Editable codes go through our short link, and they keep forwarding even if you stop paying. No ad ever sits between a scanner and your link.

How it works

  1. 01

    Type the address

    Choose Link, or Wi-Fi, Contact, Text, Email, SMS or Poll, and fill in the details.

  2. 02

    Check the scan score

    We try to read the code five ways before you download it, so you know it will work.

  3. 03

    Download PNG or SVG

    Both are free, with no watermark. Print it as big or as small as you like.

Why a static code does not expire

Some QR code sites send every scan through their own server, and the code stops working when a trial ends. A static code (Link, Wi-Fi, Contact, Text, Email or SMS) holds your content itself, so a phone goes straight to it and nothing of ours is in the middle. Poll codes are the exception: they go through qrpolls.com so scans can be counted, and they work as long as the poll exists.

The one thing that can break a static code is the page it points to. If your address changes, the printed code keeps pointing at the old one, so make a new code for the new address.

Editable codes: what happens if you stop paying

An editable code points at a short qrpolls.link address that forwards to your page, so you can change where it goes after it is printed and see scans by day, country and device type. That forwarding is ours to keep running.

Our promise: No expiry date. Codes keep forwarding after you cancel. Many QR subscriptions switch dynamic codes off at the end of a trial or a plan. We compared five of them on the Pro page.

Your first 3 editable codes are free with an email. After that, $3 CAD once per code. QR Studio is 100 editable codes for $4 CAD a month.

Questions

Does a free QR code expire?

Not a Link, Wi-Fi, Contact, Text, Email or SMS code made here. It is static: what it holds is inside the picture and nothing on our side can switch it off. A Poll code works as long as the poll exists, and stops if the poll is deleted.

What happens to an editable code if I stop paying?

No expiry date. Codes keep forwarding after you cancel.

Is there an ad before the link opens?

No. A scanner goes straight to your link.

Do I need an account?

No. Make the code, check it and download it without signing in.

Can you see who scans my code?

Not for Link, Wi-Fi, Contact, Text, Email and SMS codes: they do not pass through us. Poll codes are different: they go through qrpolls.com so we can count scans, and they work as long as the poll exists. Editable codes count scans by day, country and device type, never who scanned.
