Static QR Codes That Don't Expire

This generator creates static QR codes. The information is encoded directly into the QR code instead of being stored on a third-party tracking server. There are no subscriptions, QR-code expiration dates, or required accounts.

For website QR codes, the QR code itself does not expire. It will continue to point to the encoded URL as long as that URL remains available.

What Is a Static QR Code?

A static QR code stores its information directly inside the QR pattern. When someone scans the code, their device reads the encoded information without needing a QR-code subscription or a redirect through a QR provider.

Do QR Codes Expire?

Static QR codes do not have an expiration date. A QR code containing a website URL can continue to be scanned years after it was created. However, if the website or URL encoded in the QR code is removed or changed, the destination may no longer work.

Static vs Dynamic QR Codes

Static QR codes contain the destination directly. Dynamic QR codes typically use a redirect service that can provide analytics and allow the destination to be changed later. This generator creates static QR codes without requiring an external QR service.

QR Code Best Practices

  • • Keep sufficient white space around the QR code.
  • • Use strong contrast between the QR code and its background.
  • • Test the QR code with multiple phones before printing it.
  • • Use SVG when you need to print the QR code at a large size.
  • • Avoid changing or removing the destination URL after printing a website QR code.
