Is this QR code generator actually free?

Yes. You can generate and download a static QR code above with no account. Creating a free ScanOrbit account additionally gets you 3 dynamic (editable) QR codes and 500 tracked scans a month, permanently — not a trial.

What's the difference between the codes I download here and a dynamic QR code?

A code downloaded directly from this page encodes your content permanently — once printed, it can't be changed. A dynamic QR code (available on a free account) instead points to a short ScanOrbit redirect link, so you can change the destination and see scan analytics without reprinting anything.

Can I add my own logo and colors?

You can set a brand color and dot style directly in the tool above with no account. Adding a logo requires a free account, since it needs somewhere to store the uploaded image.

Which file formats can I download?

Vector SVG (best for print, scales to any size with no quality loss) and high-resolution PNG. Both are generated instantly in your browser.

Do the QR codes expire?

No. A static code you download here never expires or stops working. A dynamic code on a paid or free ScanOrbit plan also never deactivates due to scan volume — it only stops working if you delete it.

Every scan redirect happens over an encrypted connection, we never inject ads or sell your data, and you set the access rules — password gates, expiry dates, and scan caps are yours to configure per code on a dynamic code.

What is a QR code generator?

A QR code generator turns text, a link, or contact details into a scannable square barcode. ScanOrbit's generator supports 31 content types, lets you set a color and dot style before downloading, and — unlike a generator that only produces a static image — can make the code dynamic: editable after printing, with scan analytics by device, location, and time.

How it works

Pick a type and enter your content

Choose from 31 formats — a website link, a vCard, WiFi credentials, a PDF, and more. Type or paste your content into the live panel above.

Customize the design

Set a brand color, pick a dot style, and preview the result instantly. Add your logo once you create a free account.

Download or go dynamic

Download the static file for free, or create a free account to make it dynamic — trackable, editable after printing, with real-time scan analytics.
