LimeQR

Free static QR code generator

Paste a URL or any text and download the code. A static code contains exactly what you typed, so it never expires: there is no server between the scan and your content. It is built in your browser.

Fill in the form and your code appears here.

A static code holds your text directly and works without LimeQR.

How to use it

  1. Paste a full URL (starting with https://) or any text.
  2. Download the code as SVG for print or PNG for screens, and test it with a phone.
  3. Check the destination twice before printing: a static code cannot be edited afterwards.

Questions

Why does a static QR code never expire?

Because nothing sits in between. The code holds your URL or text itself, and the scanner reads it directly. There is no account, redirect or subscription that can lapse.

What is the catch?

You cannot change it after printing, and you get no scan statistics. If the page behind the URL moves, the printed code points at the old address.

Is there a scan limit?

No. A static code is just an image of your text.

When do I need a dynamic code instead?

When you want to change the destination after printing, or count scans. A dynamic code points to a short link that you can edit.

Need to change the destination after printing?

LimeQR dynamic codes point to a short link you can edit. Change the destination after printing, paid once: $19.
