Is this URL QR code really free?

Yes — free forever, at any resolution, with no watermark and no signup. FreeQR is an open-source public good; static codes are generated entirely in your browser.

Does the QR code expire?

Never. A static QR code is just your URL encoded as squares — it works as long as your URL works, with no dependence on FreeQR.

Can I add my logo and brand colors?

Yes, everything in the Design panel is free: logos, gradients, shapes, and labels. FreeQR verifies the styled code still scans with a real decoder before you download.

Can I add UTM campaign tags?

Yes — open Campaign tracking under the address field and fill in source, medium, and campaign. FreeQR composes the tagged link for you, free. Bitly and Scanova put the same builder behind a paid plan.

What size should I print it?

Rule of thumb: printed width ≥ scanning distance ÷ 10. A code scanned from 1 m should be at least 10 cm wide. Use our size calculator for exact numbers.
