Create your QR codes and barcodes, and stay in control after printing
For restaurants, shops, and agencies. Product labels, menus, posters: print once, and change where the code leads whenever you need to.
QR codes and barcodes, in one tool
You shouldn't need one service for your product labels and another for your posters.
Far more than a link. Content is structured according to the type you pick, so the phone knows what to do with it: save a contact, join a network, open directions.
The symbologies used in retail and logistics, with automatic check digit calculation and length validation before the code is generated.
A fixed code locks you in. An editable one doesn't.
That's the difference between reprinting 5,000 posters and changing an address in ten seconds.
The destination is etched into the code's pattern. Changing it means generating a new code, which means reprinting everything.
The code points to a short link you control. Redirect it to whatever you want, as often as you want, and see how many times it's been scanned.
What you can do with them
The features that separate a free generator from a tool you use every day.
Colors, gradients, module and finder shapes, a logo in the middle, a frame with a call to action. The logo is capped at 22% of the surface and error correction is raised automatically, so the code stays readable.
Scan count, country, city, device type, browser, and a dated history. On editable codes you can see what works, medium by medium, and export it to CSV.
Up to 5,000 codes at once, from a CSV file or a numbered sequence. Rendering is spread across several cores, which takes seconds instead of minutes.
PNG, JPG, PDF, and SVG. Vector scales without loss, which is what you send a printer for a banner just as much as for a label.
Describe your business and the assistant suggests color and shape combinations that fit it, while checking that contrast stays high enough to scan.
Retail is moving to the product QR code for the 2027 Sunrise deadline. You can already generate GS1 Digital Link identifiers, with GTIN validation.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, if it's an editable code. The printed code points to a short link you keep; you change what's behind it from your dashboard, and the change takes effect immediately across every printed copy in circulation.
Your fixed codes keep working, they don't depend on anything. Editable codes stay active for 30 days after your subscription ends; after that, those over your plan's quota are suspended, never deleted, and come back as soon as you resubscribe.
At least 2.5 cm on each side for arm's-length reading, larger if it'll be scanned from further away. Rule of thumb: the code's width should be about a tenth of the reading distance.
Yes, up to 22% of the code's surface. Beyond that, scanning gets unreliable. Error correction is automatically raised to the maximum level whenever a logo is present.
PNG and JPG for the web, SVG for a printer, PDF for a ready-to-send document. SVG is vector, so it scales up without losing quality at any size.
