QR Maker / No expiration
Codes made here are static: your information is in the dots, not on a server. There is no trial to run out and nothing to renew.
Fill in the form and your code appears here.
On iPhone, press and hold the code to save it to Photos.
Scan your code with your phone camera and look at the address in the banner before you tap it. Type that address here.
There are two kinds of QR code, and they look the same.
| Static | Dynamic | |
|---|---|---|
| What the code holds | Your link or details | A short link to the provider's server |
| Can it expire? | No | Yes, if the plan or trial ends |
| Scan limit | None | Often, on free plans |
| Change it after printing | No | Yes |
| Scan statistics | No | Yes |
| Needs an account | No | Yes |
Many "free" generators hand out dynamic codes on a trial. The code works for a week or two, you print it, and then every scan lands on a page asking you to pay. Nothing was wrong with the code; the server behind it was switched off.
A static code has no server behind it. That is the only kind this site makes.

A static QR code never expires. It is just your information drawn as dots, and it can be scanned an unlimited number of times, forever. A dynamic QR code can stop working, because it depends on a company's server and usually on a paid plan.
Usually for one of three reasons. It was a dynamic code made on a free trial that has ended. The page it points to was moved or deleted. Or the print is damaged or too small. Use the checker on this page to find out which kind of code you have.
Not for static codes. Nobody is counting, because scans never touch a server of ours. Scan limits only exist on dynamic codes, where each scan passes through the provider.
There is none in the code itself: no account, no trial, no watermark. This site is made by the team behind the QR Maker app for iPhone, and we hope you will like the web version enough to try the app.
If it was dynamic, only by reactivating the account at the service that made it. Otherwise make a new static code here and reprint. It will not happen again.
When you need to change the destination after printing, or you want scan counts by day and place. For a menu, a Wi-Fi sign, a business card or a link that will not change, static is simpler and permanent.
The code will. A link code also needs the page it points to to still be online. Wi-Fi and contact codes hold everything inside themselves and need nothing else.
