QR Code Generator

No. The QR code is generated on our side and returned straight away as an image; the input and any logo are not kept afterwards and not logged. No third party is involved and there is no redirect service inside the code: the QR literally contains the text or link you entered. That is an important difference from many free generators, which insert their own redirect so they can count scans — and render the code useless the moment that service shuts down or starts charging. What we do keep is an anonymous counter that a QR code was generated — just the tool name, the language and the timestamp, with no IP address and none of your input.

Yes, provided the logo is not too large. A QR code contains error correction: some of the data is stored redundantly, so a damaged or partly covered code remains readable. As soon as you add a logo the generator switches to the highest error correction level, where roughly thirty percent of the code can be recovered. The logo is also capped at just over a fifth of the width. Always test a code with a logo on two different phones before sending it to print.

SVG is a text format describing vector paths, not a raster you can lay an image over. Inserting a logo would mean embedding it as a file inside the SVG, with all the rendering differences between programs that brings. So if you request a logo and SVG, you get a PNG back. If you want a scalable code for print without quality loss, choose SVG without a logo — for large formats that is often the better choice anyway.

What matters is the contrast between foreground and background, and it needs to be substantial: a dark code on a light background works reliably. The reverse — light on dark — is not recognised by some scanners, because they assume dark modules. Also avoid colour combinations that look alike in greyscale, since that is effectively how a camera reads the code. When in doubt, stick to dark blue, dark green or black on white.

No. Use is free and unlimited, including commercially: no account, no licence, no trial period, no watermark and no maximum number of codes. The codes you create here are static and keep working as long as the destination exists — there is no subscription that can lapse and nothing of ours sitting in between.
