Free guide to QR code generators

Our top three QR code generators

QR TIGER comes first because it makes codes you can repoint after printing for $7 a month, with iPhone and Android apps, though its free codes show a QR TIGER popup to everyone who scans. QRCode Monkey is second for anyone who wants to pay nothing, as long as the code never needs to change or be counted. QRFY is third for businesses with many codes and users. Scanova narrowly missed: landing pages and lead forms start at $9, but every plan caps codes in total. ME-QR's 10,000 free dynamic codes show ads to scanners.

  1. First: QR TIGER

    Free plan · from $7/mo

    For: Most people who need codes they can change later

    QR TIGER makes static and dynamic codes for links, files, vCards, menus and app stores, and a dynamic code can be edited, cloned, given an expiry date or locked with a password after printing. Regular is $7 a month, or $65 a year, for 12 dynamic codes with unlimited scans and no ads, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.8 from about 1,600 ratings. Know the limits: free dynamic codes stop at 500 scans each and show a QR TIGER popup; bulk creation, Google Analytics, Zapier and HubSpot start on Advanced at $192 a year; only Regular can be paid monthly; and refunds are decided case by case.

  2. Second: QRCode Monkey

    Free

    For: Anyone who wants to pay nothing for a code that won't change

    QRCode Monkey makes static codes for links, contacts, Wi-Fi, events and more with a logo, colors and shapes, downloaded as PNG or as SVG, PDF and EPS vectors. It is free with no sign-up, commercial use included, and the codes never expire or stop at a scan limit. It is second because every code is static: you cannot change where a printed code leads or count its scans, which is half of what this category is for. The site shows ads for QR Code Generator PRO and Bitly, PDF and EPS files drop gradients, and the API is sold through RapidAPI at a price its own pages don't show.

  3. Third: QRFY

    Free trial · from $19/mo

    For: Businesses with many dynamic codes and several users

    QRFY sells one set of features: unlimited dynamic codes, scans and users, logos, scan analytics with Google and Facebook pixels, bulk creation by CSV or REST API, and a custom domain. The 12-month term is $228, so a team of five pays about $3.80 a head a month, after a 7-day trial with no card. It is third because it is web only, with no free plan and no monthly billing: one person pays $228 up front, or $117 for the shortest 3-month term; codes made in the trial don't work until you subscribe; prices exclude VAT; and refunds come only within 14 days of the first payment.

Common questions

What are the best QR code generators?

As of Oct 24, 2026, ToolGPA ranks QR TIGER first (for: most people who need codes they can change later), QRCode Monkey second (for: anyone who wants to pay nothing for a code that won't change), QRFY third (for: businesses with many dynamic codes and several users).

How does ToolGPA rank QR code generators?

From what each tool's own pages show (price, free plan, platforms, features and limits) and from what people say about it in public reviews and discussions. Not from our own testing. First place goes to the tool that suits the most people, and second and third to the best choices for the readers it leaves out.
