What you can do with this free QR code generator
Add your logo, pick colors and shapes, and put a frame with a call to action around the code.
With a dynamic code you change the link or file later. The printed code stays the same.
In a Pageloot account, sort codes into folders, add notes and tags, and find any code in seconds.
Dynamic codes show how many people scanned them, when, where and on which device.
How to make a QR code
Pick the type at the top of the tool: a link, a PDF, an image, a vCard, Wi-Fi and more. Most people start with a link.
Paste your link or upload your file. The QR code appears straight away.
Add a frame with a short call to action such as “Scan for the menu”, choose your colors and upload your logo. Keep a dark code on a light background so every phone can read it.
Scan it with two different phones, then download a PNG for screens or SVG or PDF for print. To change the code later or see who scans it, tick Edit later or Track scans and start a free 14-day trial.

Save and download your finished QR code and don’t forget to check if it works. You can now share it online and print it to distribute it among your offline audience.
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. You can make QR codes here and download them as PNG, SVG or PDF for free, with your logo, colors and frame. No account is needed, and free codes keep working with no time limit.
What you pay for is a dynamic code in a Pageloot account. A dynamic code lets you change where the code points after it is printed, and shows scan statistics: when, where and on which device. It also gives you folders, UTM tracking and smart links that send people to different pages by country, language or time.
If your link will never change and you don’t need statistics, the free code is enough. If you are printing menus, packaging, posters or anything you can’t easily reprint, a dynamic code saves you the reprint. You can try it free for 14 days.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can make QR codes and download them as PNG, SVG or PDF for free, with your logo, colors and a frame, without creating an account. Dynamic codes that you can edit and track are part of a paid plan, and you can try them free for 14 days.
No. Free codes you make here keep working with no time limit. What a free code can’t do is change its destination after printing or show detailed scan statistics. For that you need a dynamic code.
A static code points to one fixed destination that can’t be changed. A dynamic code points to a short link that you control in your Pageloot account, so you can change the destination after printing and see who scans it.
Choose a type at the top of this page, paste your link or upload your file, add your design, then scan it with two phones to test it and download it.
Open your phone’s camera and point it at the code. iPhones and most Android phones show a link to tap. On a computer, use our free QR code scanner.
At least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 in) for items people hold. For signs and posters, plan about 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of scanning distance, and always test the printed result.
Yes. Upload your logo in the tool. Keep the logo small, keep strong contrast between the code and the background, and test the code before printing.
Yes. You can use the codes you make here on products, packaging, menus, ads and any other commercial material.

Why is my QR code​ not working?
-
You're not getting enough scans
Don't use the ugly standard pixelated QR code. Apply some design with our tool. Always use a CTA frame on your QR code. Explain why the QR code should be scanned. -
The link is broken
It's possible you have made a typo or your link has changed. You can either print out a new QR code, or use our dynamic QR codes when signing up. These can be edited without reprinting.
-
The QR code doesn't scan
Make sure the QR code has enough contrast with the background. Don't use a very similar color to the background. Instead, use light on dark and vice versa. -
The QR code is disabled
This can only happen if you were using a paid version of the QR code service. The QR code will work as long as your subscription is active.

Where to use a QR code? Examples
Tap on the images to zoom in
Put a code on table tents, stickers or the window that opens your menu. With a dynamic code you update dishes and prices without reprinting, and scan statistics show your busiest hours.
Add a code to posters, flyers, magazine ads and billboards so people can act right away: book, buy, sign up or watch. Use a different code on each poster to see which location works best.
Link the box or label to instructions, a setup video, warranty registration or a reorder page. With a dynamic code you can change the page later without touching packaging that is already printed.
Use codes on business cards, invoices, shop counters and vehicles: for reviews, contact details, bookings or your social profiles. One scan replaces typing a long web address.
How to get more scans on your QR code?
-
Make scanning easy for everyone​
Your QR code must be easy to scan, without having to come closer to it or having to flat it out. -
High quality print
Make sure all users can scan the QR code seamlessly, without it being blurry or reflecting light.
-
Make it unique​
Add brand colors and frames to your QR code to make it more notable and appealing. -
Use different channels
If you want your QR code to get noticed, you should actively promote it using various materials, both printed and digital.
Tips for a QR code people actually scan
Put a short line on or next to the code: “Scan for the menu”, “Scan to book”, “Scan for 10% off”. A code without a reason gets ignored.
At least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 in) for things people hold, like flyers and cards. For posters and signs, plan about 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of scanning distance.
A logo in the middle makes the code look trustworthy. Keep it small, keep strong contrast, and test the final file before you print.
If the page, file or offer behind the code might change, use a dynamic code from the start. A free static code can’t be pointed somewhere else after printing.
