QR Code Generator: Create & Track Smart QR Codes
Create, customize, and track QR codes for URLs, WiFi, vCards, PDFs, social media, and 61 types. Add your logo, pick your colors, and monitor every scan, all in one platform.
Select QR Code Type
A QR code generator creates scannable codes that connect printed or on-screen material to digital destinations: websites, WiFi networks, contact cards, PDFs, payments, and more. QRLynx generates all 61 QR code types free: static codes are unlimited, watermark-free, and never expire, while a free account adds 5 dynamic codes whose destinations stay editable after printing. Every submitted URL passes a four-layer security check (lexical risk, DNS age, reputation, and Google Web Risk) before a code is issued. Platform data shows why dynamic matters: 93.8% of codes created on QRLynx are dynamic, 75.2% of creators edit a destination after creation, and scanned codes draw a median of 2 but a mean of 44 scans. A small share of codes does most of the work, and adding a logo lifts average scans by about 25%.

QR Code Generator FAQ
Can I track scans, edit the destination, or create codes in bulk?
Yes. Every dynamic QR code includes full scan analytics, you can edit the destination URL anytime after printing, and you can generate codes in bulk from a CSV.
Is QRLynx really free?
Yes. You can generate unlimited static QR codes for free without creating an account. Static QR codes encode the destination directly and work forever. For dynamic features like scan tracking, URL editing, password protection, and expiration rules, QRLynx offers paid plans starting at $7/month.
What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
Static QR codes encode the destination URL directly into the pattern. They work offline and never expire, but cannot be edited or tracked after creation. Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL that points to your destination. This means you can change where the code points, track scan analytics, and on Pro add password protection and expiration rules, all without reprinting the physical code.
What types of QR codes can I create?
QRLynx supports 61 QR code types including: website URLs, WiFi network access, vCard contacts, PDF files, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, Link-in-Bio pages, Multi Links pages, social media profiles (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Discord, Twitch, Slack, WeChat), app store links, Zoom meetings, calendar events, Eventbrite events, Google Maps locations, Google Business profiles, TripAdvisor, restaurant menus, product catalogs, Spotify links, and cryptocurrency wallets (Bitcoin, Ethereum, UPI, PIX).
Can I add my logo to a QR code?
Yes. QRLynx lets you upload any image as a logo and automatically positions it in the center of your QR code. The generator adjusts error correction to ensure the code remains scannable even with a logo. You can also customize colors, dot patterns, corner styles, and add branded frames.
How do I track QR code scans?
Dynamic QR codes created with a QRLynx account include built-in scan analytics. Your dashboard shows total scans, unique visitors, scan locations (city and country), device types, browsers, operating systems, and scan times. Pro and Business users can export analytics data as CSV for reporting.
Do QR codes expire?
Static QR codes never expire. They work forever. Dynamic QR codes keep stable short links and never expire by default on every plan, and can optionally be configured to expire by date or scan count. You can also manually disable any dynamic QR code from your dashboard at any time.
Is it safe to scan QR codes?
QR codes themselves are safe. They simply encode data like URLs or text. The risk comes from where they link. QRLynx protects scanners with a four-layer URL security system: lexical risk analysis, DNS domain verification, threat-intelligence checks, and domain age verification. Malicious URLs are blocked before they can be saved to any QR code.
Can I create QR codes in bulk?
Yes. QRLynx Business and Enterprise plans support bulk QR code creation. Upload a CSV file with up to 1,000 rows, and QRLynx generates a unique QR code for each entry. Each bulk-created code gets its own tracking, expiration rules, and management options.
What file formats can I download?
All plans support PNG, JPG, and WebP downloads. Starter+ and higher plans also get high-quality SVG (vector) and PDF formats ideal for large-format professional printing. All formats support custom sizes and transparent backgrounds.
Do I need an account to create a QR code?
No. You can generate static QR codes instantly without signing up. Creating a free account unlocks 5 active dynamic QR codes with scan tracking and URL editing. Paid plans add more dynamic codes, bulk creation, folders, password protection, expiration rules, and custom domains.
