Features
100% free, forever
Every QR you generate is free — no trial, no card. The free tier never expires and there's no usage limit on the codes themselves.
Logo + custom colors free
Add your logo, pick any color or gradient, choose dot styles and rounded corners. Most other 'free' generators paywall this.
PNG and SVG download
Crisp PNG for digital. Vector SVG for any print size — billboards to business cards. Both included free, no watermark.
Every QR type
URL, plain text, vCard contact card, email, SMS, phone — all free. Wi-Fi and Geo QRs unlock on Pro for $5/mo.
No tracking on free QRs
Static QR codes encode your URL directly. No redirects, no surveillance, no analytics injection — your QR is just yours.
Live scannability check
We test every design with a real decoder so you never download a QR that won't scan in print.

Frequently asked questions
Is this QR code generator actually free?+
Yes. Every QR you generate here is free forever. No signup, no credit card, no watermark, no expiry. You can download PNG and SVG, add a logo, and pick any colors at zero cost.
What's the catch with a free QR code generator?+
There isn't one for the QR itself — static QR codes are just images that encode your URL. The only paid features are advanced extras: dynamic tracking, batch CSV uploads, saved history past 3 codes, and hosted mini-pages. The codes themselves are always free.
Can I add my logo on the free plan?+
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG or SVG logo and we center it with the correct error-correction level so the QR still scans. No upgrade needed.
Do free QR codes expire?+
No. Static QR codes generated here never expire. They encode your URL directly, so they keep working forever — even if Linkly disappeared tomorrow.
Can I download a high-resolution file for print?+
Yes — every QR exports as both PNG (digital) and SVG (vector, scales to any size). Use SVG for posters, business cards, billboards or any print larger than A5.
Is it really 100% free, or is there a free trial?+
100% free — not a trial. No card required. The free tier is permanent. Pro ($5/mo) only unlocks extras like dynamic QRs, batch generation and Wi-Fi/Geo QR types.
