A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores data in a scannable pattern. Invented in 1994 by Denso Wave, QR codes can store URLs, text, contact information, WiFi credentials, and more. When scanned with a smartphone camera, they instantly connect users to digital content — making them ideal for marketing, business cards, menus, and product packaging.

Is QRKIT really free?

Yes — you can create unlimited static QR codes and up to 3 free dynamic QR codes with scan tracking. No credit card is required to get started. Static QR codes are completely free with no scan limits and no expiration. Paid plans are available if you need more dynamic QR codes, advanced analytics, or premium features like password protection and retargeting.

No. QRKIT QR codes never expire. Static codes are permanent by design and will work indefinitely. Dynamic QR codes remain active as long as your account is active — there is no forced expiration on any plan. You can also optionally set expiration dates or scan limits on dynamic codes if you want to control access. Read our complete guide on QR code expiration to learn more. If your QR code stopped working, check our troubleshooting guide .

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static QR codes encode data directly into the pattern — they are permanent, cannot be edited after creation, and do not include tracking. Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL, which means you can change the destination anytime without reprinting. Dynamic codes also include scan analytics (location, device type, time) and support features like password protection and expiration rules.

Can I track QR code scans?

Yes — QRKIT dynamic QR codes include built-in scan tracking with detailed analytics. You can see total and unique scan counts, scan locations (city and country), device types and operating systems, scan times, and more. Analytics are available in real-time from your dashboard .

Can I add my logo to a QR code?

Yes — upload your logo and it will be embedded in the center of your QR code while maintaining full scannability. You can also customize colors, patterns, corner styles, and add frames with call-to-action text. Logo upload supports JPG and PNG formats in a square aspect ratio for best results.

How many QR codes can I create for free?

Can I use QRKIT QR codes commercially?

Yes — all QR codes created with QRKIT can be used for any purpose, including commercial use. There are no restrictions on where or how you use your QR codes, whether for business cards, product packaging, marketing materials, restaurant menus, or any other application.

What types of QR codes can I create?

QRKIT supports 20+ QR code types: URL, WiFi , vCard (digital business card), PDF and file sharing, Google Form, restaurant menu, email, SMS, video, audio, event, text, and social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Linktree.

What file formats can I download QR codes in?

You can download QR codes in PNG, SVG, and PDF formats. PNG is ideal for digital use (websites, social media, presentations). SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without losing quality — perfect for print materials like business cards, posters, and banners. PDF is also available for print-ready output.

How do I create a QR code for a PDF or file?

Upload your PDF, image, or document using the file QR code type. QRKIT will host the file and generate a QR code that links directly to it. When scanned, users can view or download the file instantly. Dynamic file QR codes let you replace the file later without changing the QR code — ideal for menus, brochures, and catalogs that need regular updates.

Can I create a QR code for my restaurant menu?

Yes — QRKIT offers a dedicated menu QR code type. Upload your menu as a PDF or create a digital menu page, then generate a QR code for table tents, signage, or printed materials. With a dynamic QR code, you can update your menu anytime (seasonal changes, price updates) without reprinting the QR code.

What is the best size for printing a QR code?

The minimum recommended size is 2 x 2 cm (about 0.8 x 0.8 inches) for close-range scanning like business cards and flyers. For posters and signage scanned from a distance, use a larger size — a general rule is 1 cm of QR code width for every 10 cm of scanning distance. Always download in SVG format for print to ensure sharp edges at any size.

How do I create a WiFi QR code?

Use the WiFi QR code generator to create a code that connects devices to your network instantly. Enter your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (WPA/WPA2). When guests scan the QR code, they connect automatically — no need to type the password. Perfect for restaurants, offices, hotels, and events.
