QR codes that don’t work anymore
Little is as annoying, as when you notice that your QR code suddenly fails to work some time after you have generated it. This is the case, when you use certain QR code generators, where you have to pay to maintain a functioning QR code. But, how is this possible? And do QR codes of Free QR Code expire?
QR codes that don’t work anymore
- QR codes generated at Free QR Code 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.
QR code generators
Every QR code created at Free QR Code will work indefinetely.
At other QR code generators you have to pay after some time, to prevent your QR code from ‘expiring’. These QR code providers do this, by using dynamic QR codes.
Often it is unclear at these generators, whether you have generated a static or dynamic QR code. Because of how dynamic QR codes work, QR code generators can let QR codes ‘expire’. This is possible, because the QR code works via a redirecting page that is from the QR code generator.
Using QR codes is very handy, but some websites ask money, to prevent the QR code from expiring, while this was unclear at first. Free QR Code is against this, and we offer free QR codes that will won’t ever expire.
Another QR code generator, where your QR code is deactivated after 15 days, if you don’t have a paid subscription.
Solutions
