Paste a link (https://...) or type any text.

Style

Enter a link or some text to see your QR code.

Static code: the content is inside the image, so it does not expire and we never see its scans.
  • Codes made here are static: the content is inside the code, so they never expire.
  • No ads, no watermark, and nothing in between when people scan.
  • What you type stays in your browser.

Three ways to use it

Most people only need a static code. Save codes in an account when you want a count of opens, or a link you can change later.

Static code

Free, no account

  • The content is stored inside the image.
  • It doesn't depend on our site, so it keeps working even if we go away.
  • The trade-off: you can't change where it points, and nobody can count its scans.

Free account

$0, no card

  • Save up to 5 codes and see how many times each one's link was opened.
  • Saved codes use a short link (qr.simplyautomated.io/r/...), which is how opens are counted. The link can't be changed.
  • Downloads of saved codes have a small "qr.simplyautomated.io" line under the code.

Pro

$5/month or $39/year

  • Unlimited saved codes.
  • Change where any saved code points, even after printing.
  • No watermark. Codes you saved before upgrading become editable too.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Making and downloading static QR codes is free, with no ads and no account. Pro ($5/month or $39/year) is only for saved codes you want to change later.

Do the QR codes expire?

Static codes made here never expire, because the content is inside the code. Saved codes keep working while they are in your account and the service is running, even if Pro ends. We remove a saved code only if you delete it or your account, or it is used for abuse under our Terms.

Why some QR codes stop working

Is what I type sent to your servers?

No. The generator runs in your browser, so the links, Wi-Fi passwords and contact details you type are not sent to us.

Can I use the codes commercially?

Yes. Print them on menus, packaging, signs or anything else.

What formats can I download?

PNG (256 to 1024 pixels) or SVG. SVG scales to any size, so use it for print.

Can I change the link after I print the code?

Not on a static code, because the link is inside it. Save the code in a Pro account and you can change where it points at any time.

Static vs dynamic QR codes

Do you track people who scan my code?

Not for static codes: we never see those scans. For saved codes we store one number, how many times the short link was opened. Our host keeps standard request logs, including IP addresses, for a short time.
