Create Custom QR Codes
Instantly & Free

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information like URLs, text, contact details, or WiFi credentials. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it instantly opens the encoded content—making it perfect for marketing, business cards, product packaging, and more.

Yes, 100% free with no signup required. You can create unlimited static QR codes for text, URLs, WiFi, vCards, events, and more. Download in SVG, PNG, or WEBP formats. For advanced features like dynamic QR codes with tracking, custom logos, and frames, you can upgrade to a paid plan.

Our free generator supports 8 QR code types: Text (plain text messages), URL (website links), Email (pre-filled email composer), SMS (pre-filled text messages), Phone (click-to-call), WiFi (instant network connection), vCard (digital business cards), and Event (calendar invitations). Each type is optimized for its specific use case.

Static QR codes encode data directly—once created, the content cannot be changed. They're perfect for permanent information. Dynamic QR codes use a short URL that redirects to your content, allowing you to change the destination anytime without reprinting. Dynamic codes also provide scan analytics like location, device, and time data.

Download your QR codes in three formats: SVG (vector format, scales infinitely without quality loss—ideal for print), PNG (raster format, great for web and digital use), and WEBP (modern format with excellent compression for websites). All formats are high-resolution and ready for immediate use.

Yes! Our free generator lets you customize both foreground and background colors. Choose any color to match your brand. For gradient colors, custom logos, and decorative frames, upgrade to a paid plan. Tip: Ensure sufficient contrast between colors for reliable scanning.

Static QR codes never expire—they work forever as long as the encoded content (like a URL) remains valid. Dynamic QR codes depend on the service provider; with Linko, your dynamic codes remain active as long as your account is active. We don't artificially limit scans or add expiration dates.

Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly with the camera app—just point and tap the notification. iPhone users can use the Camera app, Android users can use Google Lens or the Camera app. No special app needed. For older devices, download a free QR scanner app from your app store.

The minimum recommended size is 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches) for close-range scanning. For posters or signs viewed from a distance, use the 10:1 rule—divide the scanning distance by 10 to get the minimum size. For example, a sign viewed from 3 meters should have a QR code at least 30 cm wide. Always download SVG for print.

Static QR codes (free) don't include tracking. For scan analytics, create a free account and use Dynamic QR codes. You'll see total scans, unique scans, geographic location, device types, browsers, and scan times. This data helps optimize your marketing campaigns and understand your audience.
