Static or dynamic QR code?

This tool creates static QR codes. For printed material meant to last, a dynamic QR code saves you from reprinting.

Why go dynamic?

The same printed QR code, working harder for you: edit it, track it, connect it to your tools.

Editable after printing

Change where a QR code already printed on flyers, menus or shop windows points to: no reprint.

Measured scans

See how many times each QR code is scanned and spot the materials that really work.

Track your scans

All in one place

Find all your QR codes and their links in your dashboard, no scattered files.

No website needed

No site? Your QR code can lead to a Reco.to mini-site that brings together your links, social profiles and contact details.

Frequently asked questions

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes. You create and download your QR codes without an account and without any watermark. Generation is only limited per hour to prevent abuse.

What's the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?

A static QR code holds your content directly: it works forever, but can't change or be tracked. A dynamic QR code holds a short Reco.to link: you change its destination whenever you want and track its scans.

Can I change the content after printing?

Not with a static QR code: its content is written into the image. A dynamic QR code, created with a free account, points to a short link whose destination you can change at any time, without reprinting.

Do QR codes expire?

No. A static QR code made here works forever. A dynamic QR code works as long as your account is active.

Is there a scan limit?

No. Your QR codes can be scanned as many times as needed.

Can I use these QR codes commercially?

Yes, without restriction: flyers, posters, packaging, menus, business cards or shop windows.

Can I customise the design and add my logo?

Yes: colours, shapes, centre icon and frame are set right here. Adding your logo is reserved for free accounts.

Can I track my QR code scans?

Yes, with a dynamic QR code: every scan is counted in your dashboard. A static QR code can't be tracked. Explore the analytics

Is there a limit to the number of QR codes?

No for static QR codes: create as many as you need. A free account includes 5 dynamic QR codes.

PNG or SVG: which format should I choose?

PNG works for screens and documents. SVG is a vector format: it stays sharp at any size, which makes it ideal for print.

What should I check before printing?

Print the QR code at least 2 cm wide, keep a white margin around it, use a light background and a dark code, then test it with two different phones. For your printer, prefer SVG.

How do I scan a QR code? Do I need an app?

No. On iPhone and most Android phones, open the camera and point it at the QR code: a link appears on screen. On some older Android phones, use Google Lens.

Why isn't my QR code working?

Usually it's printed too small, lacks contrast, its white margin was trimmed, or the encoded link has a typo. Check the content in the generator and test before printing. With a dynamic QR code, a wrong link can be fixed without reprinting.

Is my data stored?

No. The QR code is generated on the fly and isn't stored on our servers.
