Is QR-Verse really free?

Yes, 100%. Create unlimited static QR codes with full design customization — no signup, no credit card, no hidden fees. Dynamic QR codes with analytics are also free.

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static codes store data directly in the pattern — they work forever but can't be changed. Dynamic codes redirect through our servers, so you can change the destination, track scans, and view analytics anytime without reprinting.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?

Yes! Upload any logo and we'll center it in your QR code. We automatically increase error correction to keep it scannable. Works with PNG, JPG, and SVG.

What file formats can I download?

PNG for digital (social media, websites, email) and SVG for print (flyers, posters, billboards). SVG scales to any size without losing quality.

How does scan tracking work?

Dynamic QR codes include a free analytics dashboard showing scan count, locations, devices, browsers, and time patterns. All tracking is GDPR compliant and opt-in. No cookies on scan pages.

Static QR codes never expire — they work forever with no internet needed. Dynamic QR codes stay active as long as your account is active. We don't artificially limit scan counts or set expiration dates.

Do I need an account to use QR-Verse?

No! Create and download static QR codes without any account or signup. Create a free account only if you want dynamic QR codes with analytics, editing, and team features.

What size should my QR code be for printing?

Download SVG for print — it scales to any size without quality loss. For best scanning results, ensure at least 2cm x 2cm (0.8in x 0.8in) and maintain good contrast between the QR code and background.

Is my data safe with QR-Verse?

Absolutely. QR-Verse is GDPR compliant, uses bank-grade encryption, and never sells your data. Scan analytics are opt-in only, and we place no cookies on scan pages.

Is QR-Verse available in my language?

QR-Verse is fully available in 7 languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. The entire interface, including help docs and support, is localized.

QR-Verse Lite — Quick & Simple QR Generator

Create a basic QR code in under 10 seconds. No frills, no account, just fast QR generation when you need it now.

QR-Verse Lite is our streamlined generator for when you need a QR code immediately. No account required, no customization options, no analytics dashboard — just enter your content (URL, text, or WiFi credentials) and download instantly. Perfect for one-time-use codes, quick meetings, emergency sharing, or situations where speed matters more than design customization. Static codes only (data embedded directly in pixels, permanent and private). QR-Verse Lite is available in the same 7 languages as the full platform (English, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese) for global accessibility. For advanced features like logo upload, custom colors, scan tracking, or editable dynamic codes, use the full QR-Verse generator. QR-Verse Lite keeps it simple: content in, QR code out, done in seconds.

When to Use QR Code Lite

Quick one-off codes for immediate use

Need a QR code right now for a meeting, presentation, or spontaneous share? Lite gets it done in under 10 seconds. No design decisions, no account creation, no dashboard management — just enter content and download. Perfect for: sharing a Google Doc link with meeting attendees on the spot, creating a quick feedback form URL for an event, generating an emergency contact link, sharing a temporary file download, creating a backup QR code when your designed one isn't scanning. When time is critical and design doesn't matter, Lite is your fastest option.

Simple URL sharing without tracking or editing needs

If you're sharing a permanent URL that will never change and don't need analytics, Lite is ideal. Use cases: personal portfolio website (unlikely to change URL), permanent product documentation link, GitHub repository or open-source project, Wikipedia or reference article, public Google Drive folder with view-only access, permanent Dropbox or OneDrive share link, embedded YouTube video that's not going anywhere. Lite creates static codes — data is embedded directly in the pixels, so there's no tracking, no server dependency, and no way to edit after creation. Pure simplicity for permanent links.

Testing and prototyping before final design

Designers and marketers use Lite to quickly test content before investing time in customization. Create a Lite version first to verify: the destination URL works correctly, WiFi credentials connect properly, the QR code scans reliably at your intended print size, content fits within QR code complexity limits (very long URLs may create unscannable codes). Once confirmed, recreate in the full generator with your logo, brand colors, and design elements. Lite serves as a rapid prototyping tool — test functionality first, add beauty later. This saves time by catching issues before you spend 10 minutes on design.

Offline or low-bandwidth situations

Lite loads faster than the full generator because it skips logo uploaders, color pickers, pattern selectors, and real-time preview rendering. In situations with slow internet (rural areas, congested conference WiFi, mobile data in low-signal zones, international roaming), Lite gets you a working QR code quickly without waiting for heavy interface elements to load. The generated code is also static (no server dependency), so once created, it works forever even if you go offline. Emergency preparedness: bookmark the Lite page for situations where you need to generate a QR code quickly with unreliable connectivity.

Teaching or demonstrating QR code basics

Educators, workshop leaders, and trainers use Lite to teach QR code concepts without overwhelming students with customization options. Show how QR codes work in the simplest form: 'Enter a URL, get a QR code, scan it with your phone.' Once students understand the basic concept, introduce the full generator with advanced features. Lite removes cognitive load and focuses on core functionality. Also useful for tech support: when helping someone create their first QR code remotely (over phone or video chat), Lite's minimal interface is easier to guide through step-by-step.

Lite Generator FAQ

What's the difference between QR-Verse Lite and the full QR-Verse generator?

QR-Verse Lite is optimized for speed and simplicity — create a basic black-and-white QR code in under 10 seconds. No logo, no custom colors, no analytics, no dashboard, no account required. The full QR-Verse generator offers complete customization (logo upload, brand colors, pattern styles, 8 eye frame designs), dynamic codes (editable with scan tracking and analytics), 20+ QR types (vCard, social media, payment, events, multilink, GS1, etc.), multiple download formats (PNG, SVG, PDF), and QR-Verse dashboard management for organizing multiple codes. Both versions are available in 7 languages (English, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese). Use QR-Verse Lite for quick one-off codes, QR-Verse Full for professional branded codes or marketing campaigns.

Can I track scans with Lite codes?

No. Lite generates static QR codes only — data is embedded directly in the pixels with no server involvement. This means no tracking, no analytics, and complete privacy (we have no way to know when or where your code is scanned). If you need scan tracking (total scans, unique visitors, location, device, browser, timestamps), use the full generator to create dynamic codes. Dynamic codes require a free account and route scans through our servers to collect analytics while redirecting to your destination.

Are Lite QR codes permanent? Do they expire?

Yes, completely permanent with no expiration. Lite generates static codes where data is embedded directly in the QR code pixels. Once created, they work forever without any dependency on QR-Verse or internet connectivity (beyond accessing the final destination URL). Even if QR-Verse shuts down (we won't!), your Lite codes continue working. They're truly permanent, offline data storage. No scan limits, no time limits, no degradation. Download and use for years or decades without worry.

What formats can I download from Lite?

Lite offers PNG only (high-resolution 1024×1024 pixels, transparent background). This covers most use cases: websites, email signatures, social media, digital documents, PowerPoint, and small print items like business cards or flyers (ensure 300 DPI for print). If you need SVG (vector format for large printing like billboards or merchandise) or PDF (easy sharing), use the full generator. PNG from Lite is perfectly adequate for 95% of use cases — only large-format professional printing requires SVG.

Can I add my logo to Lite codes?

No. Lite generates standard black-on-white QR codes without customization options. If you need logo upload, custom colors, pattern styles, eye designs, frames, or any visual branding, use the full generator. It takes only 1-2 minutes longer and offers complete control over appearance. Lite is intentionally minimal — no design features, just fast generation. Think of Lite as the 'emergency' generator for when you need functionality immediately and design doesn't matter.

Is Lite free? Are there usage limits?

Completely free with no limits. Generate unlimited Lite codes, no account required, no tracking, no restrictions. Create 1 code or 1,000 — we don't count or throttle. All Lite codes include unlimited scans forever. There are no premium features or paywalls. Lite is our commitment to accessible technology — everyone should be able to create a basic QR code instantly without barriers. If you need advanced features (analytics, customization, dynamic editing), those are also free in the full generator.

What QR code types does Lite support?

Lite supports 3 essential types: URL (website links, social profiles, file downloads, etc.), Text (plain text messages, codes, notes, quotes), and WiFi (network credentials for automatic connection — SSID, password, security type). For specialized types like vCard (digital business cards), Email (pre-filled mailto links), SMS, WhatsApp, social media profiles, Payment (PayPal, crypto), Event (calendar integration), Location (maps), PDF, Video, Audio, App Store, Review links, Multi-link landing pages, or GS1 Digital Link product codes, use the full generator which supports 20+ types.

Can I edit a Lite code after creating it?

No. Lite codes are static — data is permanently embedded in the pixels and cannot be changed after creation. If you need to change the destination URL or content, you must create a new code and reprint/redistribute. This is the tradeoff for speed and simplicity. If you anticipate needing to edit content after distribution (e.g., seasonal menu updates, campaign destination changes, business card phone number changes), use the full generator to create dynamic codes instead. Dynamic codes use a redirect URL that you can edit anytime from your dashboard without reprinting.

Is QR-Verse Lite available in languages other than English?

Yes! QR-Verse Lite is available in all 7 QR-Verse languages: English, Dutch (Nederlands), Spanish (Español), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Italian (Italiano), and Portuguese (Português). The entire Lite interface is professionally translated, making it accessible to users worldwide. Switch languages from the top navigation menu. This makes QR-Verse Lite perfect for international teams, multilingual businesses, and anyone who prefers working in their native language. Your QR codes work globally regardless of which language you use to create them.
