QRickit review (2026): is it any good?
Free QR code creator and small-scale API, supported by donations
QRickit report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for free plain QR codes and a small API
QRickit makes many kinds of QR code for free with no sign-up, and the site runs on donations. Codes are static, the generator has no logo or shape styling, and the small-scale API gives 96 dpi images only with no support.
Who QRickit is for
- Fits if you want a plain code with no account
- Works for a developer who needs a small free QR image API
Who QRickit is not for
- Not for you if you want logos or shapes, as the site tells you to use an image editor
- Skip it if you need to change a code later, as none of its codes are described as editable
- Watch out: the API is for small-scale use, 96 dpi images only, with no support
- Skip it if you want scan counts, as no analytics are named

Keep QRickit, or make your own?
Keep it
QRickit is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 18 of the 22 other QR code generators we grade.
What you could make
- QR codes and digital business card: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. QRickit’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is QRickit?
QRickit is a free public web service for making static QR codes, with no account or personal information required. It covers links, contact cards, calendar events, WiFi logins, payment links and more, and offers a free API for small-scale use. The site asks for donations rather than charging.
Worth knowing
- Codes are static: the site describes no way to edit a code after printing, and it names no scan analytics feature on the pages read.
- The API is limited to small-scale use, gives 96 dpi images only and comes with no support.
- There is no logo, shape or template styling in the generator; the site suggests using an image editor.
Key features
- Many QR code types
- Creators for URLs, email, SMS, phone numbers, contact cards (vCard), calendar events, WhatsApp, PayPal.me, cryptocurrency, WiFi, YouTube, Spotify and app store links.
- No account needed
- The home page says there is no app to download and no account or personal information required to make a code.
- Standard and high resolution images
- Codes can be saved as images for screens or for professional printing; styling beyond color is left to an image editor, as the site's own example does.
- Free API
- A URL-based web service generates QR code images for websites. It is meant for small-scale use under 10,000 requests per day, with no support or availability guarantee.
