Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about QR codes and how to use WE CREATE QR CODE.
What is a QR code?+
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores text, a link or structured data. Most recent phones can read QR codes with their camera or a compatible scanner. Support for actions such as saving contacts or joining Wi-Fi varies. Test on the devices your audience uses.
Is WE CREATE QR CODE really free?+
A static QR image in PNG, SVG or JPEG, without a watermark or registration. File hosting, live destination editing and scan tracking are not included.
Do I need to sign up?+
No. The generator works entirely in your browser. No account, no login, no email required.
Can I add my logo to the QR code?+
PNG, JPEG or WebP · up to 2 MB. Use a small logo and test the exported code. Use dark modules on a light background, keep the clear border and start with a small logo. Error correction does not guarantee a damaged or decorated code will scan.
Will my QR code expire?+
Static QR codes generated here never expire. They contain the data directly, so they keep working as long as the destination (URL, file, etc.) is available.
Can I print my QR at any size?+
Download PNG, SVG or JPEG. Scan the actual printed size on more than one phone and confirm the destination. SVG stays sharp when resized, but a code can still be too small to read.
Can the QR be scanned offline?+
Yes for data-only QR codes (Text, vCard, WiFi, Phone, SMS). The scan reads the encoded data directly without internet. For QR codes that point to a URL (Website, PDF, Video, Social), the phone needs internet to open the destination — the scan itself still works offline.
What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?+
Static QR codes encode the data directly into the dot pattern: scanning one decodes the exact data, forever, with no server in between. Dynamic QR codes encode a short URL that redirects through a service — you can change the destination and track scans, but you depend on that service staying alive. WE CREATE QR CODE generates static codes.
Can I track how many times my QR code is scanned?+
Static QR codes don't include tracking by design. If you need analytics, point your QR at a URL you control (your own page, a Bitly link, a UTM-tagged URL) so the destination logs the visit. The QR itself stays the same; you swap the analytics layer on the destination side.
