Questions people ask
How do you make a QR code that never expires?
Choose what the code holds, a link, text, WiFi details or a contact card, fill in the details and pick colours, then download it as PNG, or SVG for print. The code contains your content directly, with no tracking server in between, so it never expires. It's made in your browser.

How do I create a QR code?
Choose what the code should hold, a link, text, WiFi network or contact card, fill in the details and pick colours if you like. Download it as PNG for screens and documents, or SVG for print. It's free, with no sign-up and no watermark on the code.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The code simply contains your text or link, with no tracking server in between, so it keeps working as long as your link does. The flip side is that you can't change where it points after printing; make a new code if the link changes.
How do I make a WiFi QR code?
Choose WiFi network, type the network name and password, and select the security type; most routers use WPA. Phone cameras then offer to join the network when they scan it. Print it for a cafe table, clinic waiting room or office reception. Guests never need to type the password.
Which format should I download?
PNG for documents, social media and screens. SVG for print, because it stays sharp at any size, for example on a poster, banner or shop sticker. Printers often ask for SVG or another vector format for large prints. Both keep the same code, just in different file types.
Why won't my QR code scan?
Use a dark code on a light background, keep the white border around it, and don't make it too small. Very long text creates a dense code that's hard to scan, so shorten it or use a shorter link. Always test with your phone before printing.
Is the content sent to a server?
No. The code is generated in your browser, so links, WiFi passwords and contact details you type aren't sent to us or anyone else. That's especially important for WiFi codes, which contain your network password. Nothing is stored or logged, and there's no account linked to your codes.
Can I make a QR code for my Google reviews?
Yes. Create your review link with the Google review link generator, then paste it here as a link QR code. Print it at your counter or on bills, and customers can leave a review in seconds while they're still happy. Reviews help you show up on Google Maps.
Can I make a QR code for UPI payments?
For payments, use the UPI QR code generator, which builds a proper UPI payment code with your UPI ID and, if you like, a fixed amount. A plain link QR isn't a payment code, so customers' UPI apps wouldn't open it correctly. Both tools are free.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. Pick colours to match your brand, but keep strong contrast: a dark code on a light background scans most reliably. Light codes on dark backgrounds or low-contrast colour pairs can fail on older phones. Test any colour choice with a few different phones before you print it.
How small can a QR code be printed?
For most phone cameras, around 2 x 2 cm is a practical minimum for a short link, and bigger is safer for codes scanned from a distance, such as on posters. Test the printed size with several phones before a large print run. Longer content needs a bigger code.
What is a contact card QR code?
It holds your name, phone number, email and other details in a standard format. When scanned, phones offer to save the contact directly. It's popular on visiting cards and at exhibition stalls, saving people from typing your number. Keep the details current before printing. Test it first.
Can I track how many people scan my code?
Not with these codes, because there's no tracking server in between; that's what makes them private and permanent. To measure scans, point the code at a link with UTM tags and check visits in your website analytics. Our free UTM link builder makes those links.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Fill in the details and download the code to your phone, then share it on WhatsApp or send it to a printer. For printing large signs, downloading the SVG on a computer is easier. No app or account is needed for any of it.
Can I add my logo to the QR code?
This tool makes clean codes without a logo in the middle, which scan most reliably. If you add a logo yourself in a design app, keep it small and test thoroughly, because covering too much of the code stops it working. Plain codes are the safest choice.
Is the QR code generator free for business use?
Yes. It's free for personal and business use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. Use the codes on menus, packaging, signage and visiting cards. Marketiism offers it alongside UPI and WhatsApp QR generators. There's no limit on how many codes you make, and nothing to renew.
Want this inside your own account?
Marketiism keeps your invoice numbers, GST reports, UPI payment links and WhatsApp reminders in one place. Leave your details and we'll call to set it up for your business, or start the trial yourself.
