WR code generator for website wanted

[LibbyGreen]

Can anyone recommend a free QR code generator? I only want to generate a QR code for my website to add to business cards & flyers but all the ones I’ve looked at online & apps have been free for a 14 day trial then a paid subscription otherwise the code is no longer valid. after the free trial.

Is there one where the code will be ‘live’ permanently ?

Hope that makes sense?

Sorry for my cluelessness. Do QR codes go through a central server or something, and that's why they're not free?

Otherwise can't you simply look up the algorithm and write some code to make them yourself?

No such thing as stupid question!

A QR code encodes a URL or plain text and will last forever. Except the URL might point to an intermediate site which forwards to your site. Which might work for a month then change to point to somewhere dodgy .

Hi Libby,

I was also looking for a QR code generator for my new business cards.

I found this online one (link below) . It says static QR codes are free if you use it, but you have to pay to get dynamic QR codes. I'm not sure if my website URL would require static or dynamic. the URL won't change but the content within it would change as I often update the website itself with new pages and posts etc.

hopefully someone on the forum who knows more about this than me can advise!

This is the link to the free static QR code generator - I tied it and it does work! https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/

and here's some blurb about static vs dynamic QR codes
