Free QR code generator
Create a free static QR — unlock dynamic only when print has to last
qrcode.house is a free QR code generator for URL, vCard, Wi‑Fi, and more. Download PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF with the destination encoded in the pattern — the same static model as Adobe Express or a DIY template export. When a menu link, guest password, or job title will change after print, unlock that one code for $9.99/year and we store the destination on your account.
What the free download includes
No account is required to try the builder. Fill in a destination, style the code, and download. The QRcode.house logo sits in the centre on every free file; unlock dynamic to remove it or upload your own.
- PNG, JPEG, SVG, and PDF files you can print or embed
- Colours, patterns, and corner styles
- URL, vCard, Wi‑Fi, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, maps, and event payloads
- A new file whenever the destination changes — that is the static tradeoff
Stay static or unlock that code
Free static is enough when
The destination will not move: a personal site, a one-off flyer, or a Wi‑Fi network you never rotate. Adobe Express and a DIY QR template stop here — and so can you, at $0.
Unlock dynamic when
The print will outlive the content: table stickers, business cards, window decals, or a QR under a phone case you cannot peel. After unlock, the QR opens a short link on qrcode.house. Edit the saved destination; the same print keeps working.
The split is explained in full on How dynamic QR codes work, including how a scan resolves to the latest saved content.
Destinations you can encode
Static downloads write the payload into the modules themselves. Common formats (a Wi‑Fi join string, a vCard, a URL) are documented in the open ZXing barcode contents notes; the symbol itself follows ISO/IEC 18004.
URL
Menus, review pages, payment links, app stores, coupons — baked into the pattern until you unlock.
vCard
A digital business card people can save. Static is fine if your details never change.
Wi‑Fi
Guest network join. Unlock later if the password rotates and the sticker is already on the wall.
Email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp
Open compose, dial, text, or chat. Update the number only after a dynamic unlock.
Maps and events
A place search or calendar invite. Static works for a one-off venue; unlock if the date moves.
$9.99 per code per year — not a monthly QR plan
Bitly and QR Code Generator typically sell dynamic codes as a monthly or annual platform subscription. That is a good fit if you need team seats, campaign analytics, and a large pool of codes. qrcode.house charges $9.99/year per unlocked code — one business card, one café Wi‑Fi sticker, one menu. Codes you never unlock stay free static downloads.
The buying models are spelled out on dynamic QR price: per code vs monthly SaaS. Line-by-line QRCG list prices are on QR Code Generator vs $9.99/year. Compare our two live prices on the pricing page. There is no monthly plan and no requirement to unlock every code on the account.
