Genuinely free static QRs
Unlimited downloads, no watermark, no scan caps, no account. We monetise on Pro features (analytics, dynamic edits, animated exports) — never on free QRs.
-
Live scan-safety score
The 0–100 score flags low contrast, oversized logos, photo backgrounds that eat decoder margin, and dense URLs. Every warning is a one-click auto-fix.
-
Design without sacrificing scannability
Per-element gradients, custom dot & eye shapes, frame templates, photo-as-QR mode, and a logo slot. The verifier decodes your design before you download.
