QR code generator

What's the catch? Where's the sign-up?

There isn't one. No account, no email, no watermark, no limit on how many you make. The tool is free because it's our advert: make your code and go — and if you ever need the menu it's printed on, you know who we are.

Will my code stop working one day?

No. What you download here is a static code — the link is baked into the pattern itself. Nothing routes through our servers; we don't even know you made it. If this site disappeared tomorrow, the code on your table would keep working.

Then why do the other free generators ask you to sign up?

Because most of them hand you a dynamic code. The pattern doesn't hold your link — it holds a short URL on their domain that redirects to you. That's how they count scans and let you change the destination later, and it's also the leash: stop paying, or let the company fold, and every code you ever printed dies at once. Plenty of restaurants have found that out a thousand menus too late.

So what do I lose by going static?

Two things, honestly: you can't change where it points once it's printed, and you get no scan statistics. Those are real features for whoever needs them — but they should be something you choose and pay for on purpose, not a leash you picked up because you wanted a free QR code.

And the first one you can have back for nothing, if you own a website. Point the QR code at an address on your own domain — say yourshop.com/menu — and set that address to forward wherever you like. Your Facebook page today, a YouTube video next month: you change the forward on your own site, and every printed code follows along. That's exactly what a dynamic code does, except the switch is in your hand and nobody can shut it off. Setting that redirect up is a five-minute job on any site we build.
