Do I need an account to generate QR codes?

No. This QR code generator is free to use without creating an account for basic codes.

Will the QR code track scans?

A static code you generate here simply encodes your content. It does not add analytics unless you point it at a tracking URL you control.

Why won’t my printed QR scan?

Print too small, low contrast, or a damaged URL are common causes. Increase size, keep high contrast, and re-test on multiple phones.

Is generation done locally?

Yes. Yes. Generate a code and download a PNG—no account required.
