What types of QR codes can you create for free?
With our free QR code generator you can create various types of static QR codes that never expire. Once your QR code is created, it remains permanently yours – ideal for fixed information such as website URLs, contact details, Wi-Fi logins and more.
Please note: the content of a static QR code cannot be modified after it has been created, and you cannot track scan statistics.
Need more flexibility? Try dynamic QR codes
For those seeking more flexibility, we offer dynamic QR codes as a paid option via a QR bundle. These codes give you the ability to change the destination at any time, without recreating the QR code.
Furthermore, dynamic QR codes offer comprehensive statistics, so you can see how often your code is scanned, where and with which devices.

Static QR codes: Never expire, because all information is stored in the code itself. They remain permanently valid, as long as the website or information they refer to still exists.
Dynamic QR codes: Can expire depending on your QR bundle. At QRcodespot.com we don't work with scan limits - all QR codes can be scanned unlimited times.
The information that a QR code refers to (such as a website) can go offline, making the code no longer useful.
