QR code generator FAQ
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes, completely free. Unlimited use, no sign-up required and no hidden fees — every feature, including PNG, JPG and PDF downloads, is free.
Which QR code formats can I download?
PNG, JPG and PDF. PNG and JPG can be exported at 512, 1024 or 2048 px; PDF is exported as a print-ready A4 page with the URL included.
Is my URL uploaded or stored?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — there is no server receiving your data, and the URL is never logged or shared.
How do I turn a URL into a QR code?
Three steps: paste your URL into the input field → the page generates a live preview instantly → click the PNG, JPG or PDF button to download.
Do QR codes expire?
QR codes never expire and stay valid forever. However, if the link encoded inside the QR code later stops working, scanning it will no longer reach the target page — so use a stable URL.
Can I use the generated QR codes commercially?
Yes, completely free of restrictions. Use the QR codes generated by this tool on business cards, menus, flyers, packaging, event tickets and more.
What is a QR code? Why convert a URL to a QR code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a square barcode that any smartphone camera can scan instantly. Converting a URL into a QR code means people don't have to type a long link — one scan takes them straight to your page. QR codes are ideal for business cards, menus, posters, packaging, flyers and event tickets, bridging offline and online experiences. QR-Gen makes the process take seconds: enter your URL, then save the result as a high-resolution PNG, JPG or PDF.
