Will my QR-code expire?

Many QR code generators demand payment for your QR code to keep working. At Free QR Code, you can create unlimited free QR codes!

QR-codes that stop working...

Little is as annoying as noticing that your QR-code has stopped working some time after generating it. Exactly this happens when using certain QR-code generators, where you suddenly have to pay to maintain a functioning QR-code. But, how is this possible? And do QR-codes created on QRcode.me expire?
  • QR-codes generated at QRcode.me will work indefinitely.
  • Other QR-code generators use dynamic codes that may expire, requiring payment to maintain functionality.
  • To avoid QR-code expiration, use static QR-codes or opt for a generator that offers free QR-codes without expiration date.

QR-code generators

Every QR-code created at QRcode.me will work indefinitely.
At other QR-code generators you have to pay after some time, to prevent your QR-code from 'expiring'. These QR-code providers are able to do this by using dynamic QR-codes.  It is often unclear at these generators whether you have generated a static or a dynamic QR-code. These companies can simply allow your dynamic QR-codes to expire. QR-code generators can let QR-codes 'expire'. QRcode.me is against this, and we offer free QR-codes that will won't ever expire. At this QR-code generator your QR-code is deactivated after 15 days if you decide not to pay.

Solutions

Obviously no one wants to suddenly notice that you have to pay for a QR-code which appeared free at first. There are a few solutions to this problem though:
  1. Generate static QR-codes, if dynamic QR-codes aren't necessary; static QR-codes will work forever.
  2. If you need a dynamic QR-code: Visit a generator that offers free QR-codes that don't expire. Luckily, you don't have to search for long, as we offer exactly that!
