Do I really not have to sign up?

Not for a static code. Build it, download the PNG, close the tab. Nothing is stored and nothing is asked.

Then why do you have accounts at all?

For dynamic codes and their scan counts. Both need a destination that lives on the server, and a server record needs an owner.

Is there a watermark on the free download?

Not on the QR code itself. A plain static code downloads as a clean PNG.

No sign up

Free QR code generator, no sign up

Open the builder, type the link, download the PNG. No account, no email, no card. An account only enters the picture if you want a code whose destination you can change after printing.

Static codes free and unlimited

Ready in under a minute

A real code, not a picture of oneScan it with the camera on your phone. It opens the generator.

Most generators ask for an email before they give you the file. This one does not, for static codes, and that is the whole promise of this page. What an account does buy is the dynamic kind, where the destination lives on our side and can be repointed later. That is a different product, not a paywall on this one, and you never meet it unless you ask for it.

Static code: download straight away. Dynamic code: a free account, because the destination has to live somewhere.

Three steps to a code that scans

Choose what the code should do
A website link, a WiFi network, a menu, a video or a contact card. Pick the type and the generator opens on it.
Design it and watch the preview
Colours, dot pattern and eye shape are free on every plan. The preview redraws while you type, so you see the code you are going to print.
Download it, or make it editable
A static code downloads as PNG without an account. A dynamic code needs a free account and stays editable after it is printed.

One generator, every everyday type

Each type opens the generator straight on that step, without a questionnaire in front of it.

Static or dynamic, said plainly

Static QR code

No account

The destination is baked into the pattern. Unlimited, free, downloads as PNG. Once it is printed the destination can no longer change.

Dynamic QR code

Free account

The code points at a short link you own, so the destination can change after printing and the scans are counted. A free account carries one dynamic code.

That is the whole difference. No trial that runs out, no card asked.
