QRix
// ACTUALLY FREE
We read the pricing and FAQ pages of 20 "free" QR generators on 2026-07-30. 13of them can switch a free code off — a trial that ends, a scan pool that runs out, or the vendor's own ad in front of your scanner. See all 20, with the source page for every row.
Static QR codes hold the data inside the code itself — not on our server. No one can ever switch them off.
Your code won't die on your busiest day. Unlimited scans, always.
Clean codes you fully own. We never stamp a logo or inject ads into your scan flow.
Open the tool and go. We never ask for a card 'to start a free trial.'
QR and most PDF/image tools run entirely in your browser. The few that use a server — like PDF compress — say so right on their page.
Print-ready SVG export, bulk CSV generation and the QR design studio cost nothing here, with navigation in 15 languages. Vector is the one we measured against others: 5 of 20 paywall it.

Counts are from our own reading of 20 generators' live pricing and FAQ pages on 2026-07-30. No accounts were created, so each count is what those vendors state about themselves — the working, vendor by vendor.
Yes. Every generator and tool is free with no watermark, no signup and no credit card. There's an optional Pro plan for advanced dynamic-QR analytics and higher limits, but the free tools are genuinely free — not a trial that charges you later.
No. A static QR code stores its data inside the code itself, so it works forever — even offline, even if QRix disappeared tomorrow. There's nothing on our servers to 'switch off,' which is exactly the trap other generators use.
No. There are no scan limits on your codes. The horror story of a menu QR dying on a busy Saturday because it hit a hidden scan cap simply can't happen here.
Never for the free tools. We don't run 'free trials' that quietly convert into a subscription.
Most tools run entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device. A few need a server to work — PDF compress and the best-quality PDF-to-Word mode — and each of those says so on its own page. Dynamic QR codes (optional, for analytics) store only the destination link you choose.
Yes, for free. Export crisp SVG or PNG at any size — ideal for packaging, signage and posters that need to stay sharp.
Free, permanent, private — no signup, no watermark, no surprises.
