How do I make a QR code for a link?

Short answer

Use a free QR code generator that encodes your link directly into a static QR image in the browser. The code never expires and adds no tracking redirect, and you can download it for print or screens. It needs no account and nothing is uploaded.

Static codes you own

Many QR generators point the code at their own tracking URL that redirects to your link, which means the code can break if that service changes or shuts down. A generator that encodes your link directly produces a static code that keeps working forever and is entirely yours.

Generated privately

The tool builds the QR image in your browser from the link or text you enter, so your destination is never sent to a server. You get a clean, high-resolution code you can download and place on a flyer, menu, business card, slide or screen, and you can generate as many as you need with no sign-up and no limit.

Step by step

  1. Open the generator. Open the QR code generator in your browser.
  2. Enter your link. Paste the URL or text you want the code to hold.
  3. Download the code. Download the generated QR image for print or screens.

Frequently asked questions

Will the QR code expire?

No. The link is encoded directly into the code, so it is static and never expires.

Does it track scans?

No. There is no redirect and no tracking; the code is generated in your browser.

Is my link uploaded?

No. The code is built locally, so the link never leaves your device.
