Hi. I tried three different websites and every one keeps changing my URL to use their site's short URL linker. I get the logic; less to encode means a less complex QR but I don't care. I don't want some intermediary step between scan and my site.

So can someone recommend a software tool for Windows or website that will not monkey around with the desired URL and allows for logo embedding? For the software, I don't mind if it's paid just so long as it's a one time payment not some recurring charge.

Thanks!

I’m in the process of trying to make a bunch of QR codes that I can adhere to boxes. So each box gets its own ID and scanning it will open a shortcut I made to just input text to a text file, so I get a collected list of contents.

However I’m stuck at generating the QR codes as I would want to add bold numbers. Like just having “32” in bold numbers so I can just see it’s box “32”.

I’m dyslexic (and have difficulties with numbers also) so I’m trying to find a method where I can loop through and create a sequence on 30 numbers for example, where I don’t have to write them out by hand as that usually creates errors.

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, I’ve just tried to find a way to add a border at one side of the qr code to be able to overlay a text there which don’t cover the qr code. But all my attempts fails. The “overlay image” I’ve tried to make slightly larger then the qr code, but it only work if I only use “image editor”, otherwise it just spits out one of the images (regardless order or opacity).

Can it be done?

I want to make something this for my family, who’ve all had a great loss, for Christmas. I’d like them to be able to scan and it open up a video file of my uncle singing. For his mother and 2 young daughters. I have a few videos I’d like them to be able to open. How can I do this? When I searched online I found a lot of paid subscription types with limited amounts of scans. Is this my only option?

Hi!

I use QR code generators at work, but recently all of the page up and page down of sites that offer this all have become pay to use or at least have to make an account.

Does anyone know one that is still free and without sign up?

I need free text variant, not URL.

Please and thank you

Edit: Thanks all. Addons for the browser was a quick and easy fix :)

Does anyone know of a legit free QR code generator that doesn't just last for a week trial? Made the mistake of buying 500 business cards and now I can't use any of them unless I pay $15/month to keep the code up and running and I'd rather not do that. Please let me know!

Just a little rant that I wanted to convert a URL to a QR code. After going down the first page of results. Every single one of them needed an account to get my code. Like, its just a QR code, you don't need my data.

Thanos moment

Ill do it (kind of) myself.

ChatGPT give me a python script to do it.

I now have my QR code and my data hasn't been sold for png

Rant over

Hey folks 👋

I made a small tool to generate and download QR codes — free to use, no ads, no login.

You just enter any text or link, and it instantly gives you a downloadable QR code (PNG).

🔗 Try it here: https://qrafty.cutbg.org/en

I built it because I was tired of bloated or ad-heavy QR generators online.

Might be useful for devs, teachers, marketers, or just anyone who needs a clean QR code quickly.

Happy to hear your thoughts or feature ideas. Thanks! 🙌

How to do it? I've seen services that seem to be free upfront, but charge $100+ per year. Surely there must be a way to just create the QR code independently. All good advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a qr code generator software that is free or a one time fee instead of monthly fee. Looking to be able to make file qr codes

I want to know how to create qr codes without using anything appart from a piece of paper and a pen. I already know how to read them, but creating them seems much harder since you need to write the error detection part. Any help ?

How do you make text qr codes?

Like the ones used in national ids? I used free qr apps and they only make it into a url and when you scan it it opens the link but I wanna make it so when you its only the text because I'm afraid that the site might get taken down or something will happen because i need these qr codes to last a long time

So a lot of people I know have a smart phone with an QR scanner. About a week ago, a lot of new friends came for the first time to my house. Ofcourse one of the first things they asked was the WiFi code. Only one problem, I have this long code with random numbres and letters. I'm to lazy to write it down or to change it ( a part of me thinks it's safer to keep this random code). So when I have to look up the code i need to go to the basement and rip the modem of the wall to read the back of it. Solution: I read online about putting wifi and password in an QR code. I googled for a good site to make it work. I came up with: http://www.qrcode-monkey.com/. works excelent and is free. I printed, laminated and hung the code on the wall, friends only need to scan it and press "connect". Problem solved.

EDIT: Thanks for the gold!

Edit: SOLVED - Thanks for your help!! I know many options know! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻

Is there any option to generate a QR Code that leads to a wordpress site and is completely free?

Hello!! I'm trying to create a QR code that is text for my work that makes it easier to create file names with a handheld zebra scanner, by using a QR code. Using an online generator I understand if it's URL based it can bounce from the generator website to the final destination URL. I'm just looking for it to be plain old text. If I create it, not download it, but snip it, which I've tested and it works, will it be permanent? So 6 months or 6 years down the line it would still say the same thing if scanned

I've tried searching this but just get a lot of QR generators online that make a QR code to their own URL that redirects to yours, and usually these are temporary or they charge a fee.

Any text information should be able to be embedded in a QR code, right? So is there a tool that just generates the QR code for your specific URL and that's that?

Hi everyone

I had created my business cards and I had also added a QR code (using QR STUFF) allowing the recipients to scan and download all my contact info into their phone without typing.

The link has now expired, and i can reactivate the code by acquiring a subscription plan.

Obviously i need to understand what is cheaper between printing again the cards with a different code or buying the annual membership for the QR generator.

is there any real effective FREE QR Code generator that works?

thanks in advance

I am trying to create a simple app to generate qr codes from a database.

Some of the information in the database include NAME, OCCUPATION , ADDRESS, PHOTOGRAPH e.t.c. The idea is for me to to create an app thay will generate unique qr codes for each entry in my database. When the qr code is scanned, all the above information should be displayed.

Here are some questions I have about it :

1. I only know Python is this a project that I will need more knowledge than that? If so, which technologies might I need ? I am open to learning anything thay will get the job done.

2. How do I make sure that for each database entry, it will generate the exact same qr code consistently?

3. How do I make the information appear in a table when the qr code is scanned?

4. Lastly, how do I store the qr codes that are generated for each database entry so they can be used for later ? E.g printing

This is a project I have been wanting to do for a while and I finally have the free time to do it. Any help pointers or answers to all or some of the questions will be appreciated so much.
